Choose who hears about volunteer sign-ups

Send each shift’s sign-up alerts to the coordinators who run it, and nobody else.

1 min read · Published Jul 4, 2026

When different staff run different programs, only the people running a shift need to hear when someone signs up for it.

How routing works

When you create a shift on the Schedule tab, use Notify admins on signup to pick the staff who should be told. Only those people are notified when a volunteer signs up for that shift.

Common patterns

  • One coordinator per program: send the West-region shifts to that program’s coordinator and the food pantry shifts to the food pantry coordinator.
  • Several coordinators: list more than one person, and everyone you pick is notified.
  • A backup: list a second person who covers when the first is away.
