Track Student Arrival: iOS Geofencing, Sheets & Email Alerts

This n8n workflow enables schools to automate student arrival tracking using iOS Shortcuts for geolocation data. It receives location updates via webhook, processes coordinates to check against a predefined school geofence, logs confirmed arrivals to Google Sheets, and triggers email notifications to teachers and parents accordingly. The logic includes double-checks for accuracy, ensuring reliable detection whether the student is inside or outside the school zone.

Key benefits include real-time visibility for educators, reduced manual attendance tracking, and proactive parental communication, saving hours weekly on roll calls. It's highly customizable for different geofence radii, student lists, and notification rules, enhancing school safety and efficiency.

Ideal use cases: K-12 schools for daily attendance, after-school programs for check-ins, or special needs monitoring. Integrates seamlessly with iOS devices, Google Workspace, and email services, with a success response back to the student's device for smooth operation.
