Managing automated SMS check-ins
Configure scheduled messages and automate your daily crew updates.
Why this matters: consistency without relying on memory.
What are check-ins?
Check-ins are automated text messages sent to your crew on a schedule—for example, every morning at 6:30 AM. A simple question like "How's the site looking today? Any needs?" prompts replies that CrewKore captures and turns into Signals for your dashboard.
Creating a check-in
Go to **Check-ins** and click **New check-in**. Choose:
Name – e.g. "Morning site status"
Message – the exact text crew will receive
Schedule – time and timezone (and optionally which days)
Audience – which crew(s) or contacts receive it
Save and the check-in will run on the next scheduled time.
Reading responses
Replies appear in **Messages** and are also processed by AI into **Signals**—material requests, manpower notes, issues, and status updates. You get a consistent daily pulse without having to remember to ask.
Automating the ask means you never miss a day and crews know what to expect.
Pausing or editing
You can pause a check-in without deleting it, or edit the message and schedule anytime. Changes apply to the next run.
