FAQs
WHAT KIND OF INFORMATION COMES IN THE RISK MESSENGER EMAIL
The email provides both summary and detail information about Covid-19 risk factors at the associated trip destination. These include Health Summaries, Restrictions, mask requirements, etc.
DOES RISK MESSENGER PROVIDE OTHER RISK INFORMATION ABOUT A TRIP DESTINATION?
Not at this time.
HOW DOES RISK MESSENGER DETERMINE MY DESTINATION AND WHEN TO SEND OUT EMAILS?
DESTINATION OF THE TRIP: We use similar connection logic to O&D – if the stopover is less than X hours it is a connection and we would not send emails about that destination.
Email timing is configurable during your setup process. It can be either hours or days before departure.
IF I’M ONLY GOING TO ATLANTA, WHY AM I RECEIVING INFORMATION ABOUT OTHER STATES IN SOME OF THESE ANSWERS?
The heath information is sent to Cornerstone by Risk Information Provider Sitata. They tag the information as a “state level” or “country level” answer. For certain questions, their response displayed may be at a country level (all of USA for example) as there may not have been specific state level information returned by Sitata so we provide the country level answer returned by Sitata even though it may be a bit broad.
WHAT IS THE CUSTOMER ALLOWED TO CUSTOMIZE IN THE EMAIL DURING SETUP?
The customer is allowed to choose which questions they wish to display in the email. They may also choose that a question only be displayed for international trips or domestic.
– The customer has flexibility as to how the signature is displayed, etc.
WHAT ISN’T THE CUSTOMER ALLOWED TO CUSTOMIZE?
The customer cannot modify:
- the contents of any of the responses
- disclaimer language
WHO SENDS THE RISK MESSENGER EMAILS?
The emails are sent by Cornerstone (similar to an itinerary) and branded with the TMC logo
IS THERE A PLAN TO INCLUDE DIFFERENT TYPES OF RISK INFORMATION IN THESE EMAILS IN THE FUTURE?
We are strongly considering this in a future release.

DO ALL TRAVELERS NEED TO INDIVIDUALLY SIGN A EULA BEFORE RECEIVING A RISK EMAIL?
Yes, before a Risk Messenger email can be sent to a traveler, they must individually agree electronically to a EULA.

The system will send out an email and the user will click on a url and be taken to a web site for acceptance. Then the system sends a confirmation email and the process is complete.
DO I ONLY HAVE TO ACCEPT THE EULA ONCE?
