Overview
If one of your coworkers invites you to trade shifts (swap) or take a shift (drop), you can accept the request from the When I Work Scheduling app on your Android device.
You can also accept swap and drop requests from your computer or iOS device.
How am I notified about a swap or drop request?
By default, When I Work sends you an email notification when you receive a shift swap or drop request. If you’d like to receive notifications from the When I Work Scheduling app in addition to or instead of email notifications, modify your alert preferences.
