Text the schedule

A text is optional. Also send a text stays off until you turn it on, and it appears only when you have texts left. Publishing still does not create pay.

1. Open Settings, then Scheduling. Under Staff texts, choose Buy Staff texts, or Buy more texts if a balance is already there.
2. Open Assign shifts and choose Publish or Publish updates.
3. Leave Email assigned staff as you want it. Turn on Also send a text only if you mean to text assigned people.
4. Choose Publish or Publish updates in the dialog. The clip does not press it, and it does not turn the text switch on.

What you should see

The helper under Also send a text says how many texts this send uses and how many you have left. Only people with a mobile number on their profile are texted. One text to one person uses 1 from the pack. Longer messages may use 2.

Staff texts on Settings shows the balance after you buy a pack.

If something looks wrong

Also send a text is missing when you have no texts left. Buy a pack under Staff texts, then open the publish dialog again.

The helper says no one to text when no assigned person has a mobile number, or that this send needs more texts than you have left. People without a number are skipped. Email can still go out if Email assigned staff is on.
