Feature
Keep employees informed about their shifts
A published schedule only helps if workers actually see it. ScheduleSpark emails each worker their own shift details automatically, with no app to install.
Initial schedule notifications
When you assign a shift, the worker gets an email with the date, time, and role — nothing they have to log in and dig for.
Updated schedule notifications
If a shift changes, only the affected worker is re-notified — see shift change management for how updates are handled.
Relevant, worker-specific information
Every notification only covers the recipient's own shifts — no scrolling through a group chat or a shared spreadsheet to find the one row that matters to them.
Shift acknowledgement
Workers can acknowledge a shift with one tap from the notification's linked page, giving managers a clear signal of who has actually seen the current schedule.
What's next: WhatsApp delivery
Email is what ScheduleSpark sends today. Worker profiles also have an optional WhatsApp number field, and WhatsApp delivery — often preferred by frontline and hourly workers — is on our roadmap. Read more in the WhatsApp shift notifications guide.
FAQ
How are workers notified about shifts?
By email today — the moment a shift is assigned or changed, ScheduleSpark emails the worker the details. Worker profiles also store an optional WhatsApp number, and WhatsApp delivery is on our roadmap.
Do workers see everyone's shifts, or just their own?
Just their own. Each worker's notification and shift list only ever shows the shifts assigned to them.
Can workers confirm they saw a shift?
Yes — workers can acknowledge a shift with one tap from a simple, mobile-friendly page, so managers know it was actually seen.
