How can I receive text messages or emails about my work schedule?

TimeForge can send nightly emails about upcoming shifts that you are scheduled to work. In addition, your management team may use your email address to contact you about important work messages.

In addition to nightly email messages, TimeForge can send a reminder text message to your cell phone before shifts start, and can notify you of successful / approved shift swaps by text message as well.

To enable this functionality, TimeForge needs to know your email address and cell phone number.

Get to the Setup Tab

On the “Setup” tab, enter your email address into the “My Email” field, you can also enter your cell phone number into the “My Cell Number” field.

Identify which Alerts you want to Receive

TimeForge can generate a number of different email and text message alerts, based on the information that you would like to know about.

For example, you can receive daily schedule reminders as text or email messages. You can also be notified of bid shifts, or when other co-workers want to swap shifts with you. Other notifications include when shift swaps are approved or denied, or when a request is approved or denied by management.

If you would like to be notified about upcoming schedules, choose the check box which starts with “I would like to be emailed…” You will receive nightly emails about any posted schedules. The number in the drop-down box (above shown as “2“) is the number of days you would like to be notified, and can be set up to 30 days.

Note: You will only be able to receive information about schedules that your management team has posted.

If you would like to be notified about upcoming shifts, choose the check box which starts with “I would like to be sent a text message …”. TimeForge will send you a text message before the shift begins as a reminder of your upcoming work schedule.

Note: You may be charged by your cell phone carrier to receive the text message. TimeForge is not liable for any text messaging charges that you may receive from your carrier.

Click on Save My Settings when you are done.

We are one year into it now, well past being enamored with the newness. We are married to TimeForge. It's as essential to us now as any of our management tools today, and we very happy about that.- Steve @ Hermosa Cyclery
