Follow these steps to enable these notifications on your device:
- Make sure notifications are enabled on the HotSchedules app:
- Once you have opened the app, you will need to select the Menu button.

- In your Preferences menu you will need to choose Notifications. Here you will be able to enable the notification of your choice, such as New Message.

I cannot figure out how to get a notification when an employee submits an availability request.
Hi Shelley,
Push notifications for availability requests are not supported at this time. We'll look to get this added sometime this year. In the mean time, when you click "approval"s from the menu of your mobile device, you'll see all things that need approval including the availability changes, time off requests, profile images (if turned on for your company) and shift swaps and pickups.
Thank you, Christopher. It hasn't been a real problem until I stopped being the one to approve time off requests and shift approvals. I rarely need to look at that screen now, so I don't see those "silent" availability change requests (which I do approve/deny). This addition to the app's functionality will be so helpful!
