Assigning or Unassigning Workers: What Happens in the Mobile App?

Learn how assigning and unassigning workers from a shift or event in SEV affects the Nowsta Mobile App. This article clarifies what workers will see in the app, including how assignments, removals, and related notifications are reflected.

1. Assigning worker to a shift

When you manually assign a worker to a shift in app.nowsta.com, this is similar to "penciling" a worker into a shift.

  • The worker will not receive a notification when they are assigned in this way, and the assignment is made without requiring the worker to accept or decline the shift.

  • This allows you to reserve a spot for the worker without alerting them immediately or requiring their confirmation.

2. Unassigning worker to a shift

If a worker has been assigned to a shift but has not yet confirmed it, and they are removed from the shift in Nowsta:

  • The worker is removed from the shift in Nowsta .

  • The worker will not receive a push notification or in-app notification informing them that they have been removed from the shift.

  • The removal is recorded in the Activity Feed, where administrators can review the change.
