How to use Schedule Blast

Schedule Blast is a tool that lets you send job information out to multiple providers at once. Depending on your settings, providers can either auto-assign themselves to the booking when they accept, or simply notify you so you can assign them manually.

Setting Up Schedule Blast Provider Control

Before using Schedule Blast, decide whether providers should be auto-assigned when they accept a job.

  1. Go to Settings.

  2. Click Application Settings.

  3. Find the Schedule Blast Provider Control toggle.

The toggle controls whether providers can accept and auto-assign themselves through the Schedule Blast email:

  • Toggle ON: When a provider accepts the job, they are automatically assigned to the booking.

  • Toggle OFF: When a provider accepts the job, you'll receive a notification and can manually assign them.

Choose the option that fits how you prefer to manage assignments.

Sending a Schedule Blast

  1. Go to View Bookings and open the booking you want to assign.

  2. On the bottom right of the booking, find the Schedule Blast section.

  3. Click the + button to open the Schedule Blast module.

Apply Payments to All

At the top of the module is the Apply Payments to All option. Use this when you want to send the same payment to every provider.

  1. Enter the payment amount in the box.

  2. Choose the payment type — Fixed, Percentage, or Hourly.

  3. Click Apply.

This applies the same payment to every provider on the blast.

Tip: You don't have to use the same payment for everyone. If some providers are paid differently, you can adjust the payment amount individually for each provider instead of applying one amount to all.

Providers Required

To the right of the Apply Payments section is the Providers Required field. This sets how many providers are needed for the booking.

  • If you set 2 providers required, the first two providers to accept will be assigned.

  • If you set 1 provider required, only the first provider to accept will be assigned.

Be sure to set this correctly before sending the blast.

Select Providers

At the bottom of the module, choose which providers should receive the blast. You can select all providers or just a specific group.

Send the Blast

  1. Once your providers and payments are set, click Send Blast.

  2. You'll be asked whether to send the blast for:

    • Just this booking, or

    • All future bookings (for recurring bookings)

  3. Make your selection, and the blast will be sent.

What Happens After You Send a Blast

Providers receive the blast in their email, where they can accept or deny the job.

  • If auto-assignment is ON: Providers who accept are automatically assigned to the booking.

  • If auto-assignment is OFF: You'll get a notification when a provider accepts, and you can assign them manually from the booking.
