Watchlist functionality

Hi guys.
I’m looking to solve some kind of watchlist functionality in Foundry and I hope that you guys can help me brainstorm a solution.

I have a object type called Persons, with properties like firstName, lastName, idNr and so on. Let’s call it a predefined list of peopleOfInterest.

In addition to Persons, I have a object type called Events, with properties like dateOfEntrance, location, firstName, lastName, idNr and so on.

I will batch import new Event Objects from day to day, and I want to be notified when a new Event Object has been created, that has the same property/properties as my “peopleOfInterest”/watchlist. For example match on firstName AND lastName - OR- idNr.

My goal is to have a “watchlist” of Persons of Interest, and when one of these persons attends an Event - I want to be notified in some way.

How would you approach this problem?

Best regards

Hi @Enok9090, have you looked into using the automations app? Automate lets you define conditions that can be checked continuously, and effects (eg. notifying you through email) are executed automatically when the specified conditions were met.

One way you could go about this is have a field on your Persons object that keeps track of the last attended event, and only populate this for Persons on your watch list. Then, you can use automate to keep track of whenever this property is modified.

There are other ways to do this as well, but this is a good example to look at to start:

Let me know if you have any other questions!
