How it works

Volunteer scheduling software: from a new account to your first sign-up in four clear steps.

1. Create your organization

Sign up with your church, nonprofit, or center name. You get 30 days of Pro free to try everything with no credit card.

2. Set up your portal

Upload your logo, add contact info, and review the bilingual waiver. Copy your unique portal link or generate a QR code.

3. Open schedule days

Create a location and activate shifts with date, hours, and capacity. Volunteers only see active, future days.

4. Share and monitor

Send the link on WhatsApp or post the QR at the entrance. The dashboard shows bookings and hourly coverage in real time.

Pro includes 120 SMS/month

Automatic WhatsApp & SMS shift reminders

Included with the Pro plan: volunteers opt in for SMS on the public portal; the system sends one reminder before the shift. No technical setup required.

1 reminder = 1 SMS to 1 volunteer before 1 shift. Buy additional packs if you need more volume.

What counts as one reminder?

One automatic SMS, usually 24 hours before the shift. If SMS credits are exhausted, email is used when the volunteer provided an address.
