Abstract
The present invention provides a system and method for automatic remote notification that includes eliciting and receiving, into a server, triggering information from a client, wherein the triggering information includes specifications of a first communication to be sent, a destination for the first communication, and a first triggering event for sending the first communication, receiving arming information from the client and arming the sending of the first communication to be sent based on the triggering information, and conditionally sending the first communication from the server to the first destination based on occurrence of the first triggering event. The specification of the destination for the first communication includes an electronic address of a first communications device of a person, the specification of the first triggering event includes information that defines an amount of time, and the arming includes starting a timer that triggers upon elapse of the amount of time.
