A Member Broadcast allows you to allocate selected members to a shift where they can view and Accept/Decline the shift(s) in a “First in Best Dressed” system. Once a single Member has accepted the shift it will no longer be available to the other Members who were in the broadcast.
This is a two steps process as you are first required to choose the nominated members against the shift which will allow it to be visible on the App/Portal. The second step is to send out communication via an SMS or Push notification to notify the Members of the available shift.
Please follow the below steps to carry out a Member Broadcast.
