Volunteer reminders and who came
Volunteers get a reminder text the day before their shift. Afterwards, mark who came and who cancelled.
Before you start
- Volunteers signed up with a cell phone (or email).

Reminders go by themselves
The day before (or the same day, if they signed up late) each volunteer gets: "Reminder from …: you signed up to help with "Purim packaging" tomorrow at 10:00 — Shul basement. Thank you!"
Shifts with their sign-ups. - 2
See who was reminded
On the shift, each name shows "· reminded" once the text went out.

Mark who came
After the shift click "Came" next to each person. They get a green "came" tag.
"Came" and "Cancel" next to each name. - 4
Cancellations
Click "Cancel" next to someone who can't make it. The spot opens up again.
A cancelled spot opens on the sign-up page again. - 5
Thank them
Click a volunteer's name (if they're in People) to open their profile and send a thank-you.
Tips
- Volunteers with no cell get the reminder by email.
- Shifts from the last 7 days stay on the page so you can mark attendance.
If something isn't working
Someone didn't get a reminder.
They need a cell or email on the sign-up. If they were added by name only, there's nowhere to send it.
I can't mark "Came".
