Turn on notifications
How Shiftaroo tells you a week was sent, a shift moved, or somebody needs cover.
Where to do it: Your phone, with the Shiftaroo app installed.
Get the Shiftaroo app
Free for support workers. Sign in with your mobile number and your shifts are there.
Step by step
-
Install the app from the App Store or Google Play and sign in with your mobile number.
-
The first time it asks, say Allow. That is the only time an iPhone lets the app ask.
-
If you said no, or can't remember: open your phone's Settings, find Shiftaroo, and turn Notifications on. On Android it is Settings, Apps, Shiftaroo, Notifications.
-
Open Shiftaroo again. Under Me it says whether notifications are on for this phone.
-
Add an email under Me as well. Every notice is emailed too, so you have a copy that stays.
Worth knowing
- Shiftaroo never sends the news by text. If notifications are off, you get at most one text a month saying Shiftaroo is trying to reach you, and a link to this page.
- Sign-in codes are the only texts that always come.
- Got a new phone? Sign in on it and say Allow again. The old phone drops off on its own.
- There are no reminders before a shift. Turn on the calendar sync under Me if you want one.
