Keep your team on the same page
Shiftly messaging brings announcements, group chats and direct messages into the same app as your roster. Reach the right people, share shifts and files, and always know your message landed.
One place for every conversation
Announcements, group chats and direct messages all live inside Shiftly, right next to the roster. No more chasing your team across personal texts and social apps.
Reach exactly the right people
Broadcast to the whole venue, spin up a group for a shift team, or have a quiet one-to-one. You decide who sees what, every time.
Work stays in the account
Conversations live inside your business account, encrypted and private, not scattered across personal phones. Everything is tied to Shiftly, not someone's handset.
Announcements
Broadcast to the whole team in seconds
Managers send an announcement to everyone, or pick exactly which locations and people should see it. You get a live 'seen by' roster showing who's opened it, so you're never left wondering whether the closing crew read the memo.
- Choose your audience: all staff, specific locations, or individuals
- See who's read it with seen-by tracking
- Attach a poll and watch the votes come in live
Group and direct chats
Chat as a team, or one-to-one
Build a group for a shift team, a project, or the whole venue by picking who's in it, then rename it, add people, or step out whenever you need. Prefer a quiet word? Message anyone in your business directly, staff to staff or staff to manager.
- Create custom groups from anyone at your locations
- Add or remove people and rename the group any time
- Direct message anyone in your business, one-to-one
Voice notes and media
Say it, show it, send it
Some things are faster said out loud. Hold to record a voice note with a live waveform, or send photos, videos and documents straight into the chat. Everything you share stays private to the people in the conversation.
- Record and send voice notes with a scrubbable waveform
- Share images, videos and files
- Every attachment is private to conversation members
Shifts in chat
Send a shift straight into the conversation
Drop a shift into any chat and it arrives as a tidy card showing the date, time, role and who's on, tap to open the full details. React with a quick thumbs-up or tick to acknowledge, or swipe to reply and quote the message you're answering.
- Share any shift as a tappable shift card
- Quick reactions to acknowledge without typing
- Swipe to reply and quote a message
Read receipts
Know when your message lands
Every message shows when it's been delivered and seen, 'Seen' on a one-to-one, or 'Seen by 6 of 8' in a group. Typing indicators and online dots show who's around right now, and anyone who's away gets a push notification, so nothing slips through the cracks.
- Delivered and Seen status on every message
- Typing indicators and online presence
- Push notifications and unread badges when you're away
Built for work, kept private
Shiftly messaging lives inside your business account, not on personal phones. Message content is encrypted, shared files are locked to the people in the conversation, and you can delete your own messages or clear a conversation from your inbox whenever you like.
