How to Enable Expiration Tracking & Set-Up Automated Reminders in Double Nickel

In this section, we’ll show you how to enable Expiration Tracking and set-up notification rules, as well as how to apply these settings to existing drivers.

To get set-up, there you'll need to set your Expiration Tracking settings.

Steps to Set-Up Expiration Tracking

  1. From the sidebar, click on Settings

    Click on Settings

  2. Click on Company

    Click on Company

  3. Click on Expirations

    Click on Expirations…

  4. Click on Edit

    Click on Edit

  5. Under Expiration Tracking:

    • Click Enable to turn on expiration tracking

      Select Expiration Tracking

  6. Set your notification rules:

    ​These notifications automatically alert the selected recipient before a document expires, based on the schedule you configure. Notifications can be sent via email or SMS, depending on the recipient.

    • Select the Category

      Select CATEGORY

    • Enter the Days Before (when the notification should be triggered)

      Click on 14

    • Select the Action (SMS or Email: SMS is only available for drivers and notifications to employees are sent via email only)

      Click on dropdown trigger

    • Select the Recipient (Applicant or Employee)

      Select RECIPIENT

  7. To add another notification step:

    • Click Add notification and repeat the set-up

      Click on + Add notification

      Click on

    • Click on your name in the top right corner, and then click Log out.

      Click on Logout

    • Log back in.

      Click on Welcome…

10. After logging back in, you will see the Expirations option in the sidebar. (See: How to Manage Expiration Tracking in Double Nickel).

Click on Expirations


Backfill Existing Applicants

After saving your settings, you can apply them to existing applicants.

  1. Under Backfill, click Run

    Click on Run

  2. Review the number of applicants that will be affected

    Click on HIRED applicants…

  3. Click Continue to confirm

    Click on Continue

This will create expiration trackers for existing drivers based on your current notification schedule.

What will be processed:

  • Hired drivers with active status only

  • The most recent document per category with an expiration date

  • Non-renewed, active documents only

  • Categories included in your notification schedule

Important:

  • Documents that already have an active tracker will be skipped

  • Safe to run multiple times, already tracked documents will not be duplicated

  • If no trackers are created, it means all eligible documents are already being tracked

After running backfill, you can view the results in the Expirations page (See: How to Manage Expiration Tracking in Double Nickel).

Now you can configure expiration tracking and apply it across both new and existing drivers!
