Plan a shift schedule
Who works when, who asked to swap, and who covered for whom. Staff ask their assistant when they’re on next, and the manager approves swaps in a sentence.
An example
@ADoor Can someone cover my Saturday morning shift? I can take Sunday evening instead.
ADoor Added 1 entry to Swaps
What you can ask later
- “When do I work next week?”
- “Who’s free to cover Saturday morning?”
- “How many hours has each person worked this month?”
- “Approve Elin and Omar’s swap.”
- “Chart hours worked per person this month.”
Who can see what
- Staff or volunteers read the schedule and request swaps from their own assistants.
- The manager approves swaps and edits shifts.
- Payroll can read hours, without seeing the swap notes.
How it compares with When I Work or Deputy
If you need clock-in, time sheets, labor rules or payroll exports, use When I Work or Deputy.
ADoor suits a team or a volunteer group that doesn’t need payroll features: ask when you work, request a swap in a sentence, and let the manager approve it.
How to start
- Open an assistant like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Cursor and connect ADoor through MCP.
- Tell it: “Set up a shift schedule: Shifts (day, time, who), Swaps (shift, from, to, status) and Availability. Invite the team.”
- Let staff request swaps, and give the manager edit access to Shifts.
Questions people ask
Can people only see their own shifts?
You can limit each person to the entries where Person is their name, one grant per person, or let them see the whole week.
Does it track clock-in times?
Only if people record them. ADoor has no time clock.
What does ADoor cost?
It’s free for up to 3 tables and 100 rows. Pro is $10 a month per workspace, with 1 GB of storage and no per-GB charges.
What if I want to leave?
Export each list as CSV or JSON and take it with you.
