# On-Call Reminder Rules

On-Call Reminder Rules determine how an individual user is notified about the upcoming On-Call shift. One can set up rules to be notified on any of the following notification channels:

* Email
* [<mark style="color:blue;">Push notification on the Squadcast mobile app</mark>](https://support.squadcast.com/mobile-app/using-the-mobile-app)

**Note:**

1. By default, every new user’s **On-Call Reminder Rules** would be defined by Squadcast as 1 hour before the On-Call Shift starts.
2. You can remove all the rules from **On-Call Reminder Rules** if you wish not to be reminded about your upcoming On-Call Shift.

1. In the case of a **complete override**, where the original on-call participant is overridden for the entire duration, only the override participant will receive on-call reminder notifications.

In the following example, only "PK" will receive on-call reminders.

2. In the case of a **partial override**, on-call reminder notifications are sent to both the original on-call participant and the override participant.

In the following example, both "DT" and "PK" will receive the on-call reminders.

## Global On-Call Reminder Rules (API-First Feature)

The Global On-Call Reminder Rules feature allows organizations to set uniform On-Call Reminder Rules for all users within a team. This API-first feature ensures consistency across the team by overriding any individual On-Call Reminder Rules set by users on their Profile Pages. These settings will be indicated on user profile pages within both the Web App and Mobile App.

* **Uniform On-Call Reminder Rules**: Applies the same reminder rules to all users within a team, ensuring consistency.
* **Team-Wise Application**: The feature applies team-wide and includes all relevant users in the organization. Stakeholders and observer roles associated with customer roles are excluded.
* **Reverting to Default**: If the feature is disabled, the system will revert to the original settings as they were previously set by the user.

{% hint style="info" %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Note:**</mark>

Please note that this feature can be enabled, disabled, or modified by users with the Manage Team role within any team in the organization.
