Why Use Customized Notifications?
Publish shifts without notifying users to avoid cluttering your employee's notifications feed by customizing the notification "don't notify assigned users".
When editing a shift, instead of notifying all the users, notify only the users of your selection and alert them regarding the changes that were made in their shift.
Targeted notifications to problematic employees - If you have an employee that always shows up late to a shift or forgets to check the schedule and misses their shifts, you can choose to notify only that selected employee to make sure they don't miss out on anything. shift notify only the selected employees that are assigned to the shift
Make last minute changes and make sure your employees are aware of them with a personalized notification.
