How to Configure Notification Preferences and Email Digests

Notification Preferences and Email Digests

Control what notifications you receive and how often.

Setting your preferences

1. Go to Profile → Notification Preferences
2. Toggle on/off for each notification category:
   • Shift changes — when your assignments are added, changed, or removed
   • Swap requests — incoming swap requests and outcomes
   • Open shifts — new vacant shifts available to pick up
   • Leave updates — leave approval, rejection, or changes
   • Roster published — when a new roster is available

Email digest frequency

Instead of receiving individual emails for every notification, you can choose a digest:

• None — no email digests (only in-app notifications)
• Daily — one summary email per day
• Three-Day — summary every three days
• Weekly — one summary email per week

In-app vs Email

• In-app notifications always appear (bell icon in the top bar)
• Email notifications are controlled separately — you can have in-app without email, or both

For Administrators

• Admins can set notification preferences for multiple users at once using Bulk Notification Preferences
• Filter by role to set defaults for all staff members

Tip: If you feel overwhelmed by notifications, switch to a Weekly digest. You'll still see everything in-app but get only one summary email.
