Troubleshoot notifications that are not arriving

Check workspace settings, browser permission, and device setup for missing notifications.

ShiftDispatch notification delivery depends on both workspace settings and device permissions.

Confirm the ShiftDispatch settings

Check that notifications are enabled for the affected staff member and that the shift or reminder is eligible to send a notification.

Confirm device permission

Open the browser or device notification settings and confirm that ShiftDispatch is allowed to send notifications. If permission was previously denied, it may need to be restored from the browser or operating system settings.

Check the installed experience

For browser push notifications, confirm that the staff experience is installed or opened in a supported browser and that the device still has an active network connection. If you contact support, do not include private message content or unnecessary personal information.

Still need help?

Contact ShiftDispatch support and include the workspace, device, and step where the problem occurred.

Contact support

Set up ShiftDispatch on iPhone or Android

Install the staff app from Safari or Chrome, then finish notification setup.

What to do when a sign-in code does not arrive
