How it works

While using 7shifts, we care about your team having the communication tools they need to be collaborative and efficient.

To ensure that employees continue to have a good experience within the messaging feature, they are empowered to report any abusive comments they may have received in a direct message for custom group chat. When Employees use this option, their Manager or Admin will be notified and provided a log of the messages involved to review. Employees can also provide additional comments and context when filing the report.

⚠️ When you report a message, your Manager (in the same Department as you) will be notified. If the message was sent by a Manager user type, then the Admin of the account will be notified instead.

In either case, the user who sent the inappropriate message will not be aware that a report has been made.
⚠️ The 'Report Abuse' option is available within messaging feature under:

  • Private chats with yourself and another individual 
  • Private group/custom chats amongst yourself and 2 or more individuals

Prepopulated group chats for Locations, Departments, and Roles will not see this report function as Admins will already have access to view any messages within these chats. 

For further information regarding abuse, please review our Terms of Use.
