We’ve improved the shift dynamic changes experience in the Mobile app, making it easier for managers and employees to handle the updates on the go.

What’s new:

The whole dynamic changes workflow supports both Micro-scheduling shifts and normal single area shifts.

• Intuitive workflow – The shift dynamic workflow has been redesigned to be more user-friendly and fully compatible with Micro-scheduling shifts.
• Manager shift replacement – Managers can now find replacements for an entire micro-scheduling shift directly in the Mobile app.
• Employee flexibility – Employees can swap or offer their assigned shifts with colleagues straight from Mobile.
• Manager approvals – Managers can approve or reject swap requests from both Mobile and Web.
• Backward compatibility – Dynamic shift features continue to work for single-area rosters as usual.

⚠️ Note: Currently, the whole workflow apply to the entire shift (including all sub-shifts in a Micro-scheduling shift). Partial swap/offer/replacement isn’t yet supported. As a workaround, managers can use the Link/Split Shift feature to divide shifts and reassign parts.

We've made it even easier to narrow down to the right group team members by adding the ability to filter your employee list by as many criteria as you need. We've added some much requested options such as:

• Employment type
• Locations
• Stress profiles
• Tags

just to name a few. This will be rolling out before the end of the year, but as a nice simple lightweight change, we are now opening this up to any customers who need greater flexibility when it comes to honing into specific sets of staff members and shifts when scheduling.

We’re making team communication instant, effortless, and built right into Deputy—so you can connect where work happens, without juggling multiple apps.

What is Deputy Messaging?

• Instant group and direct messaging – Chat with individuals or groups, instantly reaching the right people.
• Location channels – Dynamic channels for every location, updating automatically when staff join, leave, or move.
• Media and file sharing – Share images, documents, videos, and links directly in chats.
• Integrated communication experience – Messaging is part of the same Deputy app you already use to schedule, manage, and check in with your team—no extra logins or switching tools. Available on both mobile and web.

Why we built it

Until now, teams who used Deputy relied on a mix of external messaging apps, SMS, email, or Deputy News Feed – making it hard to keep everyone aligned, especially when rosters change. Deputy Messaging helps you:

• Keep all work conversations in one place
• Cut down admin with automatically updated groups and channels
• Prepare for advanced Messaging+ features coming later this year

Rollout

Deputy Messaging is available to all customers. Learn more on how to activate Deputy Messaging here.

Messaging+ coming soon

With this rollout, you’ll have access to all Deputy Messaging features (including Messaging+) at no extra cost.
From October 1, Messaging+ will become a paid upgrade, offering advanced features like read receipts and polls.
