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.
