In relation to the BSSN formulation of the Einstein equations, we write down the boundary conditions that result from the vanishing of the projection of the Einstein tensor normally to a timelike hypersurface. Furthermore, by setting up a well-posed system of propagation equations for the constraints, we show explicitly that there are three constraints that are incoming at the boundary surface and that the boundary equations are linearly related to them. This indicates that such boundary conditions play a role in enforcing the propagation of the constraints in the region interior to the boundary. Additionally, we examine the related problem for a strongly hyperbolic first-order reduction of the BSSN equations and determine the characteristic fields that are prescribed by the three boundary conditions, as well as those that are left arbitrary.
