Quickly automate shift assignment and reassignment alerts using channel announcements.
Start by inviting AttendanceBot to a channel.
- In Slack, simply message @attendancebot in that channel.
- In Teams, find AttendanceBot in your apps again, click the dropdown next to "open" and choose "add to a team." This list will include both new teams and new channels to invite AttendanceBot to.
To enable and manage alerts, head to the Notification section --> channel announcements.
"Create New" to see your notification options and select ‘Shift assignment alert’.
Select the channel to which you want to send out the notification - remember again that you must invite AttendanceBot to the channel before doing so.
Next, you will have three alert types that you can use to send out the notifications.
a. Self assignment alerts: whenever an employee assigns themselves a shift. To keep your team informed about the shifts being created.
b. Re-assignment alerts: whenever an employee reassigns a shift to another person.To keep the team informed whenever there are any changes done to the existing shifts.
c. Shifts with Attributes: whenever a specific type of shift is assigned (for example overtime shifts or role-specific shifts).
