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. 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:
- Log in to the MetaLocator administrative interface.
- Navigate to the Interfaces section from the main menu.
- Click the desired Interface
- Select Lead Generation Settings
- 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:
- Save the Interface

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:
