With Schedule Notifications, you can send an email or text to employees and/or managers for items such as upcoming shifts, when you're late for a shift, etc. up to 60 minutes before or after a shift. By default, this is set to 15 minutes. These notification settings will also dictate who appears in the Today's Schedule page.
Please Note: A user is considered a manager if the user has scheduled employees in their viewset AND they are not set to view All Employees. If a user is set to view all employees, they will not receive any notifications. For additional information regarding employee viewsets, you can refer to the following article: Employee Viewsets
