Rotaready can notify you of key events by email, SMS (text message) or mobile push. Mobile push is the best way to receive notifications, but it only works if you have the free Rotaready app installed.
Changing your notification preferences
You're in complete control of what and how Rotaready notifies you. Just log-in online or on the Rotaready app. Online your preferences are found under Edit preferences and on the app, tap Settings, Edit Settings then Notifications.
When you first use the Rotaready app, we'll give you the option to disable SMS notifications and receive mobile push notifications instead.
Subscriptions
Subscriptions let you opt-in to being notified of certain events when they occur within Rotaready. A subscription can be site-specific or span multiple sites.
A simple example is if you wish to be notified when a rota is published. This is something you can subscribe to. A more complex example, only relevant for users with the necessary permissions, is if you wish to be notified when absence requests are submitted within a certain site or group of sites.
The events you could subscribe to include:
When rotas need approval, are published, or are unpublished
When weeks are signed off
When new joiners submit their onboarding details
When shift broadcasts are created, accepted, rejected, or filled
When documents are expiring, or have expired
When absences are requested, cancelled, approved, or rejected
When new employees need approval or are approved
When employees update their own details
Using subscriptions
Keep an eye out for Subscribe buttons dotted across the platform. Sometimes they'll appear as a speaker icon. Clicking on them will show you the relevant events you can subscribe to, and optionally the site(s) you can filter on.
Unsubscribing
You can unsubscribe in the very same place where you subscribed, using the same button. There's also a Subscriptions page to help keep track of all of your subscriptions; you can unsubscribe there too:
Click your profile picture or initials
