Notifications for New Messages

No email or text alerts are sent to staff, notifying them of new messages. A new message can be identified by the tag “new” on your app'. If the app is closed or running in the background when a new message is sent, you will receive a push notification from OnTheClock. Please check your device’s notification settings for the OnTheClock app to allow for this.
