Plan and Modify Group Visits

Use `create_group_visit` to set up a new group appointment by providing the name, scheduled date, expected attendees, host, and location. You can also run `list_group_visits` to see all upcoming tours or training sessions. Need to change something? Just call `update_group_visit` with the necessary ID and fields like rescheduling dates or attendee counts.

Manage Employee Host Records

Start by running `create_host` when you onboard a new employee who needs to host visitors. This requires providing the first name, last name, email, and department data. You can also use `list_hosts` to check which employees are available on site or verify current location assignments for your staff.

Process Visitor Check-Ins and Security Screening

`create_signin` lets you record a visitor's arrival, capturing their name, host ID, location ID, and the visit purpose. This generates a new on-site check-in record. For security, `list_watchlists` shows all restricted lists, allowing your agent to screen incoming visitors against known prohibited names.
