Overview
An Availability Notification sends a push notification to the assignees of a scheduled Checklist the moment that Checklist becomes available to complete. It's the "you can start this now" nudge for frontline staff — no email, no digest, just a timely prompt on the device. This article covers how to set one up. For the bigger picture, see Create and manage Notification Rules.
Users must be Super Users or have Organization: Administrate to create Availability Notifications.
Why this matters: A scheduled Checklist that no one notices is a missed Checklist. Availability Notifications close that gap by pushing the prompt to exactly the people due to do the work, the moment it opens — so slots get actioned instead of slipping.
Who receives it
Unlike the email-based Rule types, an Availability Notification has no recipient list. It goes automatically to the assignees of the Schedule — whoever is assigned to complete that scheduled Checklist, directly or through a User Group. Manage who that is on the Schedule itself, not on the Rule.
Note: It's push-only, so an assignee receives it only if they have the Mobaro mobile app and push notifications enabled. See Organizational and personal notification settings.
Set up an Availability Notification
Start the Rule
Go to Notification Rules, click + Create, and choose Availability Notification.
Name the Rule
Give it a clear name and an optional description.
Choose the Schedules
Select the Schedules this Rule watches. When a Checklist from one of them becomes available, its assignees are notified.
Save
Click Save. The Rule is active immediately.
Heads up: Delivery can be subject to a short delay, so don't rely solely on Availability Notifications for very short-lived Schedules — anything shorter than about an hour may not deliver in time to be useful.
Frequently asked questions
Q: Can I choose who receives an Availability Notification?
A: Not on the Rule — it always goes to the Schedule's assignees. To change who gets it, change who's assigned on the Schedule.
Q: Is it email or push?
A: Push only. The assignee needs the mobile app with push notifications enabled.
Q: An assignee didn't get the notification — why?
A: Check they're an assignee on the Schedule, have push enabled in their personal settings, and have access to the Schedule's Location; also note very short Schedules may not deliver in time.
Q: Which Rule should I use to email results instead?
A: A Result Report. See the Report selection guide.
