Teamsly can notify you about shift activity, time clock events, requests, and more — by email, push notification, or text message. You choose exactly which events trigger a notification and how you want to receive each one.
Getting There
Go to Settings (gear icon at the bottom of the left navigation) and click Notifications & Alerts under My Settings. On mobile, go to More → Account Settings → Notifications & Alerts.
📋 These are personal notification preferences — they only affect your own account. Employees manage their own notification settings the same way from their app.
How It Works
Each event in the list has checkboxes for the delivery methods available — Email, Push (in-app push notification), and/or Text (SMS). Check the boxes for the methods you want; uncheck them to stop receiving that notification.
