Questions about shifts and tasks
How does ambassador scheduling and availability work?
CampusThreads understands that ambassadors are students first, with academic responsibilities as their main priority. To accommodate their schedules, ambassadors can set their own availability for shifts and tasks. They will only receive email and app push notifications during their designated available hours, ensuring they are not overwhelmed with notifications at inconvenient times. Additionally, ambassadors can configure a separate schedule specifically for chat availability. We recommend setting this to 24 hours so that they receive chat notifications instantly and can respond at their earliest convenience, helping to maintain timely and engaging conversations with prospective students.
What are recurring shifts? How do they work?
Recurring shifts are designed to simplify scheduling for tasks that happen on a regular basis, whether daily, weekly, monthly, or at other consistent intervals. Administrators can create one recurring shift for work that follows a regular schedule. These shifts can either be assigned to specific ambassadors or groups or left open for ambassadors to claim. Ambassadors whose availability matches the scheduled shift will receive notifications, ensuring that open shifts are filled efficiently without unnecessary administrative effort.
How can I ensure all collaborating ambassadors are up-to-date with task progress?
CampusThreads provides a structured task management system that keeps ambassadors aligned and informed. Each task includes priority levels, progress tracking, and collaboration tools. Ambassadors can update their task status as they work through assignments, and a built-in comment section allows them to leave notes, updates, or important information for other collaborators. This ensures transparency, accountability, and connected communication, allowing everyone involved to stay informed about the latest progress and next steps.
How does budget tracking work?
If you pay your student ambassadors, CampusThreads provides a complete budget tracking feature to help you manage program costs effectively. You can track ambassador compensation based on shifts while gaining insights into overall expenditures. This allows you to analyze costs, improve your budget, and ensure your ambassador program remains financially sustainable.
