Shift reminders that actually get read
Most no-shows are people working from an old version of the schedule. A short reminder at the right moment fixes most of them, and you can write it once and let it send itself.
How it works in Airhorn
- Write the reminder — “Next week’s schedule is posted. Flag conflicts by Thu 5pm.”
- Choose who gets it: everyone, or a group like the weekend crew (Plus).
- Schedule it for the moment it’s useful — Sunday evening, or the afternoon before a big day.
- Replies stay private. Nobody else sees them, and on Plus you read and answer them in Conversations.
Quiet hours, built in
If you write a non-urgent message between 9pm and 8am, Airhorn holds it until 8am in your business’s time zone. Write the reminder whenever you think of it; it won’t land at midnight.
Reminders worth sending
- The schedule is posted, with a deadline for conflicts.
- A day-before reminder for an unusual shift — a holiday, an early open, an event.
- Daylight saving time weekends.
- Time-off request deadlines before busy seasons.

Don’t overdo it
A reminder for every regular shift trains people to ignore reminders. Send them when something is different. Each plan includes a monthly pool of 15 messages per employee (30 on Plus), which is plenty for the reminders that matter.
