We use the FreshService on-call system, which is fantastic. A team member recently brought up an idea where he would like to know if he’s the primary on-call, secondary on-call or tertiary on-call. He’d like to get this information in his e-mail reminder. Unfortunately, there’s no placeholder for which position he holds in the on-call schedule.

It would be great to add a placeholder so I could put in the e-mail if he is the primary person who is on-call, secondary, or tertiary.

Hello this is available now. Try using the new placeholder - “Roster Type”

We used Roster Type to identify the on call routing pattern and notify the agent.

Totally agree—it’d be super helpful to have a placeholder that shows each person's on-call level in reminder emails.
Right now, it’s a manual workaround, but this would streamline communication a lot.

Thank you for the reminder. I acknowledge my upcoming on-call shift and will ensure I am fully available and prepared during the scheduled time. Please let me know if there are any updates or specific instructions I should be aware of.

Great to hear this feature is live now! Using the "Roster Type" placeholder is a helpful way to specify on-call positions in reminder emails.
