Overview
Some organisations may require automated notifications when an employee moves outside a predefined or prescribed geographic location. This requirement is typically related to workforce monitoring, client reporting, compliance, or location-based attendance processes.
This article explains the current status of this functionality in Keka.
Current Status
Based on the available product documentation and knowledge base information, there is no documented feature that supports:
- Triggering a client notification when an employee moves out of a prescribed location.
- Sending automatic email notifications based on employee location changes.
- Configuring geo-location movement alerts for clients or external stakeholders.
- Creating workflows that notify users when an employee exits a predefined geographic boundary.
Existing Location-Based Features
Keka supports various location-related capabilities, including:
- Location-based attendance configurations.
- Geo-fencing for attendance use cases (where applicable).
- Location-based organisational and payroll configurations.
However, these features do not currently include client notifications or email alerts triggered by employee location changes.
Possible Reasons for the Gap
The requested functionality may fall into one of the following categories:
- The feature may be tracked internally under a different name or description.
- The requirement may exist as a customer request that has not yet been formalised into a roadmap item.
- The functionality may be part of a broader geo-location or workforce tracking initiative that is not currently documented in the knowledge base.
Limitations
The following capabilities are not currently documented as available in Keka:
- Defining a geographic boundary and generating alerts when an employee leaves that area.
- Sending automatic email notifications to clients when location changes occur.
- Creating location-change triggers tied to employee tracking events.
- Configuring client-specific notification workflows based on employee movement.
Important Notes
- This appears to be a product capability gap rather than a configuration issue.
- There is currently no documented roadmap information indicating that this functionality is available, planned, or in progress.
- Customers requiring this capability should raise a feature request for evaluation by the Product team.
