Expiry alerts

Anchorlet emails you once a day whenever a compliance record in your portfolio is overdue or coming up for renewal within the next 60 days. Everything that needs attention is gathered into a single email, sorted by urgency — so at a glance you can see what's already expired, what's about to, and what's on the horizon.

How it works

Once a day (around 9am Dublin time in summer, 8am in winter), Anchorlet looks at every live compliance record in your portfolio and gathers anything that's already expired or due to expire within 60 days. If there's at least one — and you have compliance alerts switched on — you get one email summarising them.

You get one email per day at most, however many records are due. It's a single daily round-up, not a separate message per record or per urgency level.

The four urgency levels

Each record in the email is grouped into one of four bands by how close it is to its expiry date:

Expired (red) — the expiry date has already passed.
Critical (orange) — expires within 7 days (today counts as critical).
Warning (amber) — expires within 30 days.
Upcoming (slate) — expires within 60 days.

The most urgent band comes first, so expired and critical items are the first thing you see.

It repeats until you act

This isn't a one-off nudge at a fixed milestone. As long as a record is overdue or sits within 60 days of expiring, it shows up again in the next day's email. The reminders only stop for that record once you renew it — uploading or logging the new cert pushes the expiry date back out beyond 60 days — or remove it. An expired cert you haven't dealt with will keep appearing, by design.

What the email looks like

The Anchorlet mark at the top, then a short greeting ("Compliance check, Orla.").
Your portfolio name underneath.
One section per non-empty band, in order: Expired, Critical, Warning, Upcoming. Bands with nothing in them don't appear.
Each section is a small table — property, cert type, expiry date, and a plain-English "when" column that reads "in 5 days", "today", or "12 days overdue".
An "Open compliance dashboard →" button and a "Manage email preferences" link at the foot.

The subject line

The subject leads with whatever is most urgent in the email. If anything's already expired, that's what you see first in your inbox — even when the same email also lists less-urgent items coming up. If nothing's expired, the subject leads with how many items need attention. That way an email about something already overdue reads differently at a glance from one that's only a heads-up about renewals 60 days out.

Who gets it, and turning it off

The daily alert goes to whoever has compliance alerts enabled. To turn it on or off, go to Settings → Preferences and toggle Compliance expiry email alerts — it's on by default. Changing it only affects your own account.

What the alert doesn't do

It doesn't renew anything for you. You still need to book the assessor, electrician, or engineer, and upload the new cert when it's done.
It doesn't cover Local Property Tax (LPT). LPT is tracked separately on each property and doesn't send reminders — see Tracking LPT payments.
