Notifications

Employees that are added to a group will be notified via push notification. Tapping on the push notification will take you to the Group Details screen, where you can see other members.

Important note: If you are not seeing notifications, please make sure you have enabled push notifications from Envoy in your device settings.

Filtering

Users can see their groups and filter who is or is not scheduled based on group members under the following areas:

  • Schedule > Invite employees list

  • Map > Coworkers list

Tapping on a group name filters the screen to show which members from that group are scheduled. If it shows (0), you can invite them!
