When Should a Volunteer Reminder Ask for a Reply?
With Proximatic Pro, volunteers receive emails asking them to confirm their assigned shifts. Use a reply when you need a decision about the job and hours.
Ask for a reply when you need the volunteer to decide something. Directions can tell them where to park; a new assignment needs a yes or no about the job.
If you want Morgan to collect supplies on Saturday, a useful request is:
Can you take the supply run, 7–8am on Saturday? We’ll have everything ready at the hall for delivery to the park. Please confirm by Wednesday so I can arrange another driver if needed.
With Pro, Proximatic can ask your team for their available hours by email and prepare a roster for you to review. When you publish, assigned volunteers receive requests to confirm their own shifts. Morgan can answer about the supply run, giving you a decision about the work you need done.
For a shared reminder, select the relevant shifts and send the information that helps that crew arrive ready. You don’t need everyone to acknowledge a parking note before it can be useful. Save the reply request for a decision you’ll act on, and use the event roster to follow the work through.
