Job messages
Messages in Geowork are organized by job, so the conversation about a site stays with that site.
- Crew (phone app): open the Messages tab. The Job tab is your job's thread; type in Message dispatch to write to the office. The Pins tab holds conversations about map pins. You can long-press the map to drop a pin and share a spot on site.
- Office (web): open Messages and select a job thread to read and reply to messages between the office and the field.
- Supervisor mode in the phone app also has a Messages tab.
Notifications
The Geowork Crew app doesn't send phone push notifications today. New messages and alerts show up when you open the app. If your crew relies on a quick reply, ask them to check the Messages tab during the day.
Alerts that appear in the app:
- Long shift alert: if your company turns it on, a crew member who's still clocked in after the set hours sees a reminder to clock out, and a message goes to their supervisor and the job thread.
- Sync banners: a notice when clock taps haven't been sent yet.
Text messages
Geowork texts sign-in codes to approved phone numbers. Customers of businesses that use Geowork may also get a text with a link to view and approve a quote. Reply STOP to stop those texts, START to start again, or HELP for help. See geowork.app/help.
Sign-in code texts can't be turned off, because you need them to sign in.
