Removing availability​

Plans change, so Hotpot now allows you to remove the availability you previously entered. Did the trip get canceled? No problem! Pop in and delete that availability.

What if the schedule got messy and a few people helped, covering your shift in pieces? No worries, Hotpot can sort that out for you:

Even pending assignments come to the party.

🏖️ Bulk upload availability API​

Have you already entered your vacation into your company's time off / HRIS system? Let's avoid doing it again in Hotpot via our new bulk upload availability API. This allows you to send us CSV files detailing any time off, which Hotpot dutifully protects!

Moment priorities​

Not all moments are equal. Some are hair-raising, and others are just informative. To that end, Hotpot now supports moment priorities.

I like my moments smedium.

Moment priorities are also supported in our Moment creation API.

⏰ Temporary time-zone change move​

We're a remote-first, geographically distributed team. Sometimes, you just gotta look at things in another time zone! This convenient, temporary time-zone switcher has been moved to the footer right by the dark mode toggle.

I live in the footer now!

🗓️ Scheduler improvements​

Hotpot protects everyone's time, even in coverage situations. Hotpot now checks your team's availability more when picking coverage, disabling anyone who is unavailable.

Dorsey has a thing and Ronney can't replace himself. C'mon son.

When you adjust the coverage dates, Hotpot rechecks the team and updates the listing, throwing you a little purple zhoosh to let you know.

A delicate purple flash when users are updated.
