Notifiers in Rosterfy

A Notifier can be added to various parts of the system to help manage approvals of roles and events.

The following areas can have a Notifier attached:

  • Role Offer Locations

  • Role Offer Venues

  • Functional Areas

  • Event Types


Adding Notifiers

To add Notifiers, update the relevant area, for this example we will use Location:

  1. Navigate to the Headcount module > Locations.

  2. Locate the specific area you want to add a Notifier to, click More Actions > Update.

  3. Select the Actions button > View Notifiers.

  4. In the Add New Notifier field, search for the person you want to make a Notifier and click Add.

Note: People added as Notifiers will automatically be sent an email when an event or role within the area they are assigned requires their approval.


Sending Emails to Notifiers through Automations

A notification (email/sms) can be sent to a Notifier using automations for other purposes. For example, you may want to send a Notifier an email when a person applies or withdraws from a particular role or to remind them of an upcoming shift they are responsible for.

  1. To do this, navigate to the Workflows module > Automations.

  2. Select Create, to create an automation.

  3. Select the applicable Automation Task (must relate to an Event or Role Offer, i.e Event Shift User - Check In).

  4. Determine the timing of the notification with Schedule Trigger, and the Category if applicable, then click Save.

  5. In the Actions section, select Add.

  6. Input a name and then select Email to Notifiers as the Action.
