# Send or resend reminders of an upcoming shift

# Send or resend reminders of an upcoming shift {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated March 12, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Remind roster members of an upcoming shift by sending an email notification. You
specify the number of days before their shift starts for the email.

## Before you begin

Role required: rota_admin or admin

## About this task

The reminder is sent to the email address specified in the user record,
unless the address is specified in other notification preferences.
Notification preferences take precedence over the user record.  
For all major on-call shift email notifications, you can now decide where the links to an on-call shift records are redirected. Instead of an on-call shift record automatically opening in the classic UI16 interface in On-Call Scheduling, the record can be opened in SOW. The on-call shift record link in an email notification opens in SOW only if the following conditions are met:

* The Redirect SOW Email notification (sow_email_notification_redirect) property is set to <kbd class="ph userinput">true</kbd>.
* The Redirect SOW Email notification for On-call scheduling (sow_email_notification_redirect.on_call) property is set to <kbd class="ph userinput">true</kbd>.
* You have the sn_sow_user role.
{#send-shift-remind-email-oncall__ul_v1l_cnz_3bc}The ITSM Notifications Redirection (com.snc.itsm.notifications_redirection) plugin is installed and activated automatically to support this behavior.

## Procedure

   The option is also available when you edit a shift in an On-Call calendar.
