Shift notifications are sent when:

1.  A new schedule is published.  The system sends out shift messages to staff automatically.

2.  A schedule is modified and your manager hits "Send changes to Staff", only staff who are affected by these changes are notified

3.  Shift Swaps - when staff request a shift for pick up and are given the shift they receive notification

4.  Shift Swaps - when staff post a shift for pick up and someone picks it up affected staff are notified (poster and postee)

Note:  Shift notifications are sent based on an employees' mode of communication preference which can be set on their User Profile.  Options are: text, email or both.  All changes made to your shifts will be reflected on your dashboard on the calendar.
