2025-05-08 Cover clarity and moment upgrades

· 3 min read

This week we're tackling the 'who's covering what' puzzle with smarter schedule insights, giving your pages a fresh coat of visibility, and turning moment data into something you can actually see. Plus, a bunch of quality-of-life improvements that'll make your daily Hotpot experience just that much better.

🗓️ Schedule improvements​

Teams often change, and it's important to know if someone in your schedule is missing some key information. Hotpot now flags any issues like missing phone numbers or incomplete Slack connections in the Stages section of the schedule page.

When setting up coverage, it's important to know if someone is already on-call for a different stage so you can make the right decision. Good news, selecting a user for coverage now makes this clear! Here we show that Maire is already on-call for secondary.

Additionally:

  • Corrected an issue where syncing availability from external integrations could create coverage in the past.
  • Added capability to not factor in the presence of other schedules for a user's shifts.

☎️ Page visibility​

Visibility into the timeline of a page has been improved, with situations like non-delivery during working hours colored for quick scanning.
