# Expiring Lead Notifications

The lead notification expiration feature in MetaLocator allows administrators to control how long users have access to lead details after receiving a [Lead Notification](https://support.metalocator.com/en/articles/2645190-tracking-lead-acknowledgement). Once a lead notification expires, users are prompted with an expiration message which generates a new notification link, which is automatically sent via email. This feature is designed to enhance security and ensure access to leads is time-limited and available only to the intended recipient.

## Configuring Expiration

To configure the lead token expiration feature:

1. [Log in](https://admin.metalocator.com/) to the MetaLocator administrative interface.
2. Navigate to the [Interfaces section](https://admin.metalocator.com/index.php?option=com_menus&view=items&Itemid=104) from the main menu.
3. Click the desired Interface
4. Select Lead Generation Settings
5. Scroll down to the **Expire Lead Notifications** setting as shown below
Set **Expire Lead Notifications** to "Yes" and add the desired number of minutes before lead notifications expire:

## User Experience

If a user has attempted to load an expired lead notification, the following message is displayed:

Then, the lead notification is immediately re-delivered via email with an updated token, allowing the user to view the message.

If a user attempts to load the link again, after having received the above, they will receive an error as shown below:
