Collect Deliveries At Gate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To reduce the number of outsiders who enter the Apartment Community, deliveries are being kept at the Gate and the Residents are informed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Residents walk to the Gate and collect their parcel. A bit of inconvenience but if it can save lives, it is our duty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are using ADDA GateKeeper at the Gate, then the Resident can choose the &#8220;leave at gate&#8221; option. Or the Guard can call the Resident right from his GateKeeper mobile phone to inform of the Delivery to be collected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/PHOTO-2020-03-26-15-18-07-2.jpg\" alt=\"Collect Delivery at Gate\" class=\"wp-image-11878\" width=\"363\" height=\"363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/PHOTO-2020-03-26-15-18-07-2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/PHOTO-2020-03-26-15-18-07-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/PHOTO-2020-03-26-15-18-07-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/PHOTO-2020-03-26-15-18-07-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/PHOTO-2020-03-26-15-18-07-2-250x250.jpg 250w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/PHOTO-2020-03-26-15-18-07-2-80x80.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 363px) 100vw, 363px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/PHOTO-2020-03-14-20-22-04.jpg\" alt=\"&quot;Leave At Gate&quot; Option from ADDA App as a preventive tool for COVID-19\" class=\"wp-image-11747\" width=\"240\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/PHOTO-2020-03-14-20-22-04.jpg 576w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/PHOTO-2020-03-14-20-22-04-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/PHOTO-2020-03-14-20-22-04-84x150.jpg 84w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 240px) 100vw, 240px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Update on 17-March-2020:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>ADDA has just launched the new feature <a href=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/2020\/03\/adda-launches-collect-deliveries-at-gate\/\">&#8220;Collect-Delivery-At-Gate&#8221;.<\/a> Just enable the setting in your ADDA GateKeeper configuration. <a href=\"https:\/\/adda.io\/blog\/2020\/03\/adda-launches-collect-deliveries-at-gate\/\">Details here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Encourage_Residents_to_stay_at_Home\"><\/span>8.
