Managing Employee Training Notifications
Training notifications in 7shifts keep your employees informed when they're assigned a Course and help Managers stay on top of training progress across their teams.
⚠️ Note: 7shifts Training is currently in Beta and available for all accounts. Features and functionality may change as we continue to gather feedback. Training is completely free during our beta period. On August 30, 2026, you'll need to upgrade to the Premium plan for your employees to continue completing courses.
Things to Know
Important: At this time, Training notifications can only be managed in the web app. Mobile app notification settings for Training will be supported in a future release.
- Employees are notified when they're assigned a Course.
- Managers are notified when an Employee completes a Lesson that requires sign-off.
- If no Managers are found at the Role, Department, or Location level for a Course, Admins are notified as a fallback.
- Admins, Managers, Assistant Managers, and Employees can customize personal notification preferences to enable or disable Training alerts.
Employee notifications
Employees receive an email and push notification when they're assigned a Training Course.
Manager and Admin notifications
Managers are notified when an Employee completes a Training Lesson that requires sign-off. The notification logic is as follows:
- Course assigned to a specific Role: all Managers in that Role's Department are notified
- Course assigned to a specific Department: all Managers in that Department are notified
- Course assigned to a Location: all Managers in that Location are notified
If no Managers are found at any level, Admins will receive the notification (if their notifications are enabled).
Configure Training notification settings
Both Employees and Managers can manage their Training notification preferences from the web app.
- Log in to the web app and hover over your profile picture.
- Select My Account, then go to the Notifications tab.
- Under the Training section, toggle notification on or off.
