If your role is Admin, Coordinator, HR or Ops then you can subscribe to or turn off email notifications for shift events. An example of a Shift event is - clock in/out, progress note added, mileage added. The available notifications are:

  • Successful clock in or out by carer (off by default)

  • Clock in or out was unsuccessful by carers

  • Progress notes added or updated by carers

  • Mileage added or updated by carers

  • Expense added by carers

  • Feedback, incident or injury reported by carers

  • Shift was cancelled by another Admin, Coordinator, HR or Ops

  • Shift was updated by another Admin, Coordinator, HR or Ops

  • Goal progress was updated

If you wish to subscribe yourself or someone with Admin, Coordinator, HR or Ops roles, then update Subscribe to notifications setting on the user.

⚠️ By default account owners are subscribed to receive notifications

Other Roles such as Office Support do not get notifications, however, due to their access rights, Admin, Coordinator, HR or Ops users can manage the notifications for other users.

Turning on or off notifications

If your role is Admin, Coordinator, HR or Ops you can subscribe to these notifications by going to your staff details page and updating "Subscribed Email Categories" within the Settings module.

To change which notifications you are getting, click Edit in the Settings module.

This will allow you to pick which notifications you get.

  • To remove a category click on the cross next to the category name to remove it from the list.

  • To add a category click on it in the drop-down list so it is ticked.

Remember to click the blue Update button.

⚠️ It is currently not possible to opt out of Job Board notifications.
