1.  Linking from sign-ups: A new, helpful feature - linking from your VolunteerSpot activity signup is now easier than ever! Link to important waivers, forms, external sites and maps right from a signup by including the link in your shift/task descriptions (make sure to include the "http://" before your url).  The links you include in your ToDo and ToBring descriptions are included in Reminders issued to volunteers who have signed up for those shifts/tasks.

2.  Posting sign-ups:  VolunteerSpot provides organizers with a variety of ways to invite volunteers to sign up for their online schedules - email invitations can be sent directly from the activity, while shareable sign up links that can be posted on your organization's website, via email and on your social channels. This type of access provides unparalleled opportunity for volunteers to view available needs and sign up to help!  24/7 access, real-time updates, and mobile access too

3.  Messaging: Quickly relay important updates and news regarding your online volunteer calendar, straight from your VolunteerSpot activity signup.  Organizers can click the Message button from their activity calendar screen, select volunteers by status and date and time signed up, and send them a quick email with an activity link at their convenience. The VolunteerSpot system automates change messages to volunteers when their times and details regarding their shift/task are changed - so organizers don't need to worry about it!

4.  Sending Thank You notes: Send a ‘thank you’ message right from your VolunteerSpot activity signup. It’s simple – click the Thank You button on your activity calendar screen, select specific volunteers or your entire volunteer list, and send a message of thanks to show how much their time and talents are appreciated!
