You can use Pagerly to establish reminders if you would like to be informed when there will be a rotation change or oncall handover.When a schedule change is about to occur, Pagerly will automatically recognise it and send out a notification to the team's Pagerly channel.

What are we looking for?

One challenge with receiving notifications for upcoming schedules is the balance between keeping users informed and avoiding notification fatigue. It's crucial to tailor notifications to be timely and relevant, respecting user preferences for frequency and timing. Implementing effective notification management and feedback mechanisms helps ensure users receive critical updates without feeling overwhelmed or missing important information.
