How Expected Arrival Alerts Work
Choose an expected arrival when starting a Journey to arm overdue detection. If you have not arrived, STALKR can check on you first, allow an ETA extension, and then alert watchers if you do not respond.
Steps
- Choose an expected-arrival duration in the Journey form.
- Respond to the overdue prompt if it appears.
- Extend the ETA or confirm your state.
How this works
Overdue handling runs on deployed server schedules and functions rather than on the traveler's phone alone. If those schedules, push delivery, or email delivery are unavailable, an escalation can be delayed or missed.
The order is deliberate. STALKR checks on you first and offers an ETA extension before anything reaches your watchers, so a slow trip does not become an alarm.
This is a coordination aid with a Pro watcher-notification entitlement behind it. It notifies the people you chose; it does not contact public emergency services.
What happens next
The saved change appears in the relevant map, library, or sharing scope when the service confirms it.
Common problems
- This depends on deployed schedules, server functions, push/email configuration, and connectivity.
- It does not dispatch emergency services.
- Watchers are only ever the people you selected when starting the Journey.
Questions this answers
- What happens if I am late?
- Will my watchers know I missed my ETA?
- Can I extend my ETA?
