Step 5

Choose how ShyftMate keeps you in the loop.

Use push alerts when you want timely updates, and check the in-app notification center for activity inside ShyftMate.

Your notification preferences

Go to Settings → Notifications. From there you can choose the channels that work best for you.

Push

See it on your phone

Push notifications are useful when you want to know about a shift or update quickly, even when ShyftMate is not open.

In-app bell

Check notifications inside ShyftMate

The bell keeps important ShyftMate activity in one place so you can review it inside the app.

When a new shift is offered

If the opportunity matches your Smart Alert choices, ShyftMate can let you know with the channels you have turned on. The person who offered the shift does not get a pointless notification about their own offer.

The message may have a friendly closer such as Your move ♟️ or Want to snag it?, but the important shift details stay clear.

When your shift is claimed

If someone claims a shift you offered, ShyftMate lets you know. The person who just claimed it does not need a separate notification telling them what they already did.

Push works with Smart Alerts

Smart Alerts decide which new shift opportunities you care about. Matching activity remains available in the in-app notification center, and eligible push alerts can reach you when ShyftMate is not open.

Example
Choose Eves on Tuesday in Smart Alerts. When an Eves shift is offered for Tuesday, it can appear in your in-app notifications and reach you by push when push is enabled.

A little privacy on the lock screen

ShyftMate keeps lock-screen messages useful without putting every detail in the notification preview. Open the shift in the app when you want to see the full details.
