Push Notifications
Vuoro can send push notifications to your browser so you receive real-time updates even when you are not on the page.
On your schedule you may see "Get notified when your shifts change?" — tap Enable, then click Allow when your browser asks. (Not now hides the prompt.) You can change this setting later in your browser's notification preferences.
What Generates Notifications
You will receive notifications for the following events:
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Shift changes | Your shift times, location, or assignment have been changed, or the shift was cancelled. |
| Swap requests | Someone wants to swap a shift with you. |
| Swap updates | Your swap request was accepted, rejected, or approved — including when a supervisor swapped your shift with a colleague's directly. |
| Swap auto-cancelled | A swap you were part of was auto-cancelled because the underlying shift changed (was rescheduled, reassigned, moved, or cancelled). |
| Shift offer received | A colleague offered you one of their shifts (targeted offers only — open offers are pull-based, see Shift Offers). |
| Shift offer claimed | Someone claimed an offer you posted — the shift is no longer yours. |
| Shift offer cancelled | An offer you posted (or were targeted by) was cancelled by the offerer, a manager, or auto-cancelled because the shift changed. |
| Certification expiring soon | One of your certifications is 30 days from expiry. (Managers get the same notification for every employee in the tenant.) |
| Certification expired | One of your certifications expired today. |
| Leave decisions | Your leave request was approved or rejected. |
| Roster published | New shifts are available on your schedule. |
| Task assigned | A new task has been assigned to you. |
| Announcement | A new announcement was posted for your location or department. |
| Timesheet approved | Your supervisor approved your hours. |
Supervisors and Managers
Supervisors and managers also receive notifications for their locations, including:
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
| Leave submitted | An employee submitted a leave request to review. |
| Swap pending approval | A swap was accepted but a working-time rule was flagged — it needs your decision. |
| Late clock-in | An employee clocked in more than 15 minutes after their shift's planned start. Opens Timesheets. |
| Clock-in left open | An employee's clock-in has been open for more than 14 hours (they probably forgot to clock out). Sent once per worklog. Opens Timesheets so you can close it — open hours aren't paid until it is. |
