Alert system for duplicate or repeat rescue requests

Purpose

 1.1. Detect and prevent duplicate or repeated animal rescue requests across channels (phone, web, email, social, etc.).
 1.2. Alert team members or coordinators when a duplicate request is identified for the same animal, location, or incident, to avoid wasted effort and resource allocation.
 1.3. Provide real-time notifications for manual or automated intervention, supporting accurate intake recording and case management.
 1.4. Improve resource allocation, response times, and data integrity by streamlining request validation.
 1.5. Reduce operational confusion, duplicated field deployments, and data errors for animal rescue workflows.

Trigger Conditions

 2.1. New rescue request logged in CRM or rescue platform.
 2.2. Request arrives via API, web form, SMS, phone, or email.
 2.3. Core identifiers (animal details, location, requester info) match previously logged case within configurable time or location threshold.
 2.4. Manual flag from staff/volunteer identifying possible duplication.
 2.5. Automated pattern detected (e.g., high frequency at one address).
