The Job Schedule makes it effortless to create shifts or dispatch jobs for your team. Using the customized shift notifications for your employees when publishing or editing shifts you can alert your employees of any changes made in their shifts by editing the text of the notification. You can target your notifications and avoid cluttering your employee's notifications feed by selecting the relevant users you wish to notify, and more!

In this article we will go over:

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.

How to Create and Customize a Notification

When creating a new shift or editing an existing one, you can choose to publish the shift and notify all users assigned to that shift, or you can click on the bell icon near the publish button to customize the shift notification.

Once you click on the bell icon, a variety of ways you can customize notifications will appear. Below we will go over all the options:

  • The first option is to notify assigned users, or not to notify anyone at all
