Bells are a useful feature for Verkada Guest, that allow you to configure a Guest Type that just sends a notification without requiring the user go through a full check-in process. This is handy for use cases such as a delivery driver dropping off a package.

To configure a bell for your guest site you will need to browse to the sites settings. This can be found by browsing to Guest from the All Products menu.

From here select the Guest Settings gear shown on the left-hand side of Command.

Next, select Sites at the top of the page and then select the Guest site that you would like to configure a Bell for using the dropdown that will appear.

After selecting the correct Guest site, select Manage Guest Types

Select the + Add Guest Type icon on the right-hand side and then select the Bell option from the dropdown.

After selecting that option, you will be presented with a new menu that will allow you to configure the various options for your new Bell.
