Hear about the shifts you care about on the days you care about.

Smart Alerts are there to make your life easier — not to make you learn a complicated filter system.

How to set up Smart Alerts

Open Settings → Notifications. Choose the shift types and days of the week that fit your life, then tap Save.

1
Choose the shift types you care aboutTap the shifts you would actually consider picking up — for example Eves and RON.
2
Choose the days you care aboutTap the days that fit your life — for example Tuesday and Wednesday.
3
Save your preferencesShyftMate will use those choices for new open-shift opportunity alerts.

A simple example

You choose:
Eves + RON
Tuesday + Wednesday

What that means:
ShyftMate alerts you when an Eves or RON opportunity falls on Tuesday or Wednesday. A Days shift on Friday does not interrupt you.

That is the whole idea: fewer alerts you do not care about, more useful opportunities when they actually fit your schedule.

Want to hear about everything?

You do not have to select every shift and every day. If you leave the shift types or days unselected, ShyftMate treats that as all of them.

Example
Leave shift types unselected and choose Saturday + Sunday. You will hear about any shift type that falls on the weekend.

Smart Alerts do not hide Open Shifts

Even if a new shift does not match your Smart Alert choices, it can still appear in Open Shifts. Smart Alerts control which new-shift alerts you receive, not what opportunities you are allowed to browse.

Important updates still stay useful

Smart Alerts are mainly about filtering new opportunities. They are not meant to hide important updates about your own shift activity — for example, when a shift you offered is claimed or when an approval needs attention.

Tip:
Use Smart Alerts for the opportunities you want, then use Push and the in-app notification center to stay informed.
