Organizers can allow Participants to share an email and sign up others, making it easier for families or teams to sign up. However, some disable this option to ensure individual assignment records (often with waivers).
If you're a Participant and you're not seeing an option to sign up for other participants, please consider one of these options:
- Ask the Organizer to activate the Sign Up Others option
- Use the Share button
- Use the "gmail +" format (for gmail account holders only)
- Take two Spots and list both names
- Ask the Organizer to give you an assignment manually
1. Ask the Organizer to activate the Sign Up Others Option
The Organizer can do this in the Details tab of the SignUp's Organizer view. This is always the easiest option.
Organizer view:
Participant view:
If the blue Save and Add Another Person button is showing on your SignUp screen, click here to see your options for signing up family members and yourself, or just others (the second part of the help article has screenshots to guide you).
2. Use the Share button
If the Organizer has authorized the Share option on your SignUp, click it to share the invitation link with your family or team member so they can sign up using their own email address.
3. Use the "gmail +" format (for gmail account holders)
Gmail.com account holders may modify a base email address by adding a plus sign (+) to 'clone' the single address into multiple email addresses and then sign up each person individually. E.g.:
Name@email.com (for primary or first volunteer)
Name+Spouse@email.com (for spouse)
Name+Child1@email.com (for child)and so on.
When emails have a +XXXX after the first part of the email address, standard internet email processing sends all emails to the base account of Name@gmail.com.
4. Take two Spots and list both names
Participants signing up for multiple Spots on the same task/shift may enter a quantity of 2 and then write both names in the Name Field - e.g. Rosa & Peter Wilson
5. Ask the Organizer to give you an assignment manually
Organizers, you may make manual assignments for people without using an email address. Please see: How can I add an assignment for a participant or volunteer?
