FAQs
What if an employee is logged out or has notifications turned off?
If an employee is logged out of the Timeero mobile app or has push notifications disabled, they will not receive a push alert when you send a Message Blast. However, the message will still appear in the Announcements section of the app the next time they log in.
How often should I use the message blast?
Just depends on what you want to communicate with your team. Recommend for key schedule changes, safety or policy updates, and critical reminders.
Can employees see old Message Blasts later?
Yes. As long as the message has not been removed by your admin, employees can see past Message Blasts in the Announcements section.
