Absence notification - make it automatic if child not arrived by a certain time

Great to see that Xplor have put this notification in place for absences where parents are notified when their child is marked absent by an educator or centre staff. It will ensure the safety of children a little bit more.
However, it would be even better if an automatic notification was sent to the parents/guardians at a particular time as some services would not mark children absent until mid morning, by which time, it may be too late.
I am aware that another CCMS company has implemented something similar and parents now get a notification at approximately the time they usually do drop off as the system is able to determine that time.
Hopefully this is something that Xplor can also implement.

Yes please. We don’t mark kids absent unless told they will be absent because they are allowed to arrive at any time and often do. An automatic notification, either calculated or at a time of the parent’s choosing, would be fantastic.
