Track the current location of agents from email or SMS notifications
Track the current location of agents and their estimated time of arrival through email or SMS notifications.
About this task
Customers may see multiple geolocation records for a Field Service agent, showing different coordinates but the same timestamp. This is caused when the customer’s mobile device caches location requests and sends multiple at once. This happens when battery save mode is active on the customer’s device.
