This module covers how to update details on an already published dispatch and ensure your assigned driver is automatically notified and provided with an updated work ticket.
Use this feature when:
Trip details change (e.g., updated pickup time)
You need to ensure the driver receives the most current instructions
You want to avoid republishing or manual communication
OpsDriver’s built-in notification system handles all driver updates automatically when changes are made post-publication.
Create and assign a dispatch as usual.
Click Publish.
Once published, the assigned driver will see a yellow block on their Driver Portal calendar for that date.
The driver can:
View trip info
Accept the assignment
Check in
See extra instructions
View and print the work ticket
The customer calls to adjust pickup time from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM.
Open the booking and click Edit Segments.
Adjust the time (e.g., change from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM).
Click Save.
A modal will automatically appear asking:
“Would you like to notify the assigned driver of the updated dispatch?”

Pull the driver’s email from their profile
