New in this release
- ON-call shift enhancements
- User can add or invite shift members while creating or editing a shift. User can also auto-fill the shift while adding shift members. Previously, users had to come to the teams page to invite users to the team and then add them to the shift.
- Notifications on upcoming on-call shifts
- Users can now get notifications for their upcoming on-call shifts about 1 hour, 24 hours, or 7 days prior to the shift. Earlier, users did not get any notification for their shifts. Notifications are now only sent at the start of a rotation, instead of the start of a shift every day, when the shift is 24/7 coverage and the rotation is weekly.
