Team Messaging for Shift Workers
Keep your team connected with built-in messaging. Send direct messages, create group threads, or broadcast to all staff — no personal phone numbers needed.
Messaging your team
Follow these steps to start communicating with your team through Rundeck's built-in messaging.
Open the Messages page
From your dashboard, click 'Messages' in the top navigation bar. You'll see all your existing conversations listed with the most recent messages and unread counts. Conversations are sorted by most recent activity.
Create a new thread
Tap 'New message' to start a conversation. Choose from three types: Direct message (one-to-one with a staff member), Group thread (select multiple people), or All-staff broadcast (reaches every team member at once).
Send messages
Type your message and hit send. Messages are delivered instantly. You can also share images, files, or links. Group threads keep everyone in the loop — great for shift handover notes or location updates.
Receive push notifications
Every message triggers a push notification on the recipient's phone so nothing gets missed. Staff can tap the notification to open the conversation directly. Notifications can be customised — mute threads or set quiet hours.
