Overview

Using Group Emails from When I Work allows you to quickly communicate with all users, specific positions, or specific users about changes on the schedule or at the business.

You can also send group emails from your computer or iPhone/iPad.

Considerations

• You must have supervisor, manager, or admin access privileges to send a group email.
• Email messages sent through When I Work go to users’ email inboxes. If you’d like a copy of the message sent through When I Work, be sure to include your name in the email recipient list.
• To email messages, users must have a valid email address entered into their User Profile. Adding an email address can be done by the User directly or with the assistance of the admin, manager, or supervisor.
• When I Work sends out emails immediately but depending on your email provider, your email may have a delayed arrival into your inbox.
• For some users, emails get sent to the spam inbox. Please check your spam inbox and edit your email settings to approve/whitelist all When I Work emails.
