Critical Alerts for Dispatch Notifications
Critical Alerts for Dispatch Notifications
Overview
The Roshal Provider app uses Critical Alerts to ensure you never miss an important dispatch or order notification. Critical Alerts can bypass Do Not Disturb, Focus modes, and silent settings on your phone, so you’re always reachable for urgent work.
How Critical Alerts Work
iPhone
Dispatch and order notifications use Apple’s Critical Alerts system, which:
- Plays a sound even when your phone is muted or in Do Not Disturb
- Bypasses Focus modes (Sleep, Work, etc.)
- Appears immediately on your lock screen
All dispatch notifications are also marked as Time Sensitive, ensuring they break through scheduled notification summaries and display prominently.
Android
The app includes a dedicated Dispatch Alerts notification channel with:
- High importance level
- Do Not Disturb bypass enabled by default
- Custom vibration pattern for urgent alerts
Notification Sounds
Different notification types have distinct sounds to help you identify them quickly:
| Notification Type | Sound | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Dispatch / Order alerts | Urgent, alarm-like tone | Critical |
| Shift / Clinic reminders | Gentle chime | High |
| Bulletins | Simple notification sound | Normal |
Android users can change notification sounds by going to Settings → Apps → Roshal → Notifications → Dispatch Alerts → Sound.
iOS users can not change notification sounds for Roshal notifications.
Order Notification Behavior
To avoid disrupting you while you’re actively working, the app adjusts notification priority based on your current order status:
| Situation | Notification Priority | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| No active order | Critical | Breaks through Do Not Disturb and Focus modes |
| Order in progress | High | Does NOT break through Do Not Disturb |
| Active order completed | Critical | Queued notifications deliver with full priority |
This means if you have an order in progress, incoming order notifications will be delivered quietly. Once you complete your active order, any pending notifications will be sent with Critical priority so you don’t miss them.
Setup
iPhone
- Open the Roshal Provider app
- When prompted, tap Allow to enable Critical Alerts
- If you missed the prompt, go to Settings → Notifications → Roshal Provider → Critical Alerts and toggle it on
Android
- Open the Roshal Provider app
- Go to Settings → Apps → Roshal Provider → Notifications
- Ensure the Dispatch Alerts channel is enabled and set to Override Do Not Disturb
Automatic Settings Detection
The Roshal Provider app automatically checks your notification settings each time you open it. If your settings aren’t configured correctly to receive Critical Alerts, the app will prompt you to update them. This helps ensure you don’t miss important dispatch and order notifications.
Simply follow the on-screen prompts to enable the recommended settings. The app will only prompt you once per day if there’s an issue.
