Quick guide
How to use Sub Concierge
Two minutes, start to finish. Tell your Concierge what you want in plain English — it handles the rest.
Getting set up
- 1
Connect your Frontline account
On your dashboard, enter the Frontline ID and password you already use. Your Concierge watches every district on your account automatically, and your password is stored encrypted.
- 2
Tell it your booking rules
Go to Booking rules and describe what you want in plain English (details below). Review what it understood, then activate.

Let it work
Your Concierge checks the board every 30 seconds, around the clock. It texts you about matches and books the jobs you authorized — usually within seconds of them appearing.
The two kinds of rules
Every rule you set is one of these. You can use one or both.
Monitor & Alert
Text me to decideYour Concierge texts you when a matching job appears. Nothing is booked — you decide. Great for jobs you might want but want the final say on.
Auto Accept
Book it for meYour Concierge books the job the instant it appears and texts you the confirmation. Booking is authorized per date, so you say exactly which days it may act on.
Writing your instructions
Just say it the way you'd tell a person. Your Concierge understands schools, dates, times, and things to avoid — and it knows the real schools on your account, so “elementary schools” resolves to your actual elementary schools.
Monitor & Alert
“Monitor all jobs that are at least 4 hours and end by 3:00 PM.”
Auto Accept
“Book me anything at Adobe Bluffs or Deer Canyon on September 15th or 17th that ends by 3:00 PM.”
Auto Accept
“Book any elementary school in the Poway district on September 22 — but skip kindergarten.”
Things you can mention:
- •Which schools — by name (“Adobe Bluffs”) or by kind (“elementary schools,” “anything in Poway”).
- •Which dates — “September 15 and 17,” “next Tuesday.” Auto Accept always needs a date.
- •Times & length — “ends by 3pm,” “at least 4 hours,” full-day only.
- •What to avoid — “skip PE,” “no kindergarten.”
Review, activate, and edit anytime
After you describe your rules, the “What Your Concierge Will Do” panel shows exactly what it understood — in plain language, with the real school names. Read it over, and if it looks right, press Update my Concierge. Nothing goes live until you do.
If something looks off, change your words and update again — you never have to fiddle with settings or checkboxes. Come back and edit your rules whenever you like; changes take effect within a minute.
If a booked job gets cancelled
On your dashboard, each booked assignment has a “This was cancelled — Book this date again” button. Once the assignment has been cancelled in Frontline — by you or the district — tap it and your Concierge frees that date and starts booking it again, so a cancellation doesn't cost you the day.
Pausing
Need a break? Hit Pause on your dashboard and your Concierge stops accepting new assignments until you resume. Takes effect within a minute.
