Signups

Coordinate who brings what and who covers which task — with signup sheets tied to your group's events.


What are Signups?

Signups (also called contributions) let you attach a task or contribution list to an event. Members claim the items they'll take care of — bringing food, volunteering for a role, covering a shift, and so on.

Common uses:

Signups are attached to calendar events Each signup sheet belongs to a specific event. The group must have the Calendar feature enabled to use signups.

Finding Signups

Tap Signups in your group's feature navigation. The Signups page shows two tabs:

Tap an event card to open its signup sheet.


Signing Up for a Slot

  1. Open the signup sheet
    Tap the event from the Signups list, or open the event in the Calendar and look for the Signups section at the bottom.
  2. Browse the available slots
    The signup sheet lists all the tasks or contributions for the event. Each item shows how many spots are available and how many have been claimed.
  3. Tap a slot to claim it
    Tap the item you want to sign up for. If the slot has a quantity (e.g. "Bring 2 dozen cookies"), enter how many you'll contribute.
  4. Confirm
    Your name is added to that slot and visible to the rest of the group.
Slots fill up Once a slot reaches its maximum, it's marked as full and no more members can claim it. Grab your spot early for popular items.

Removing your signup

Changed your mind? Tap the slot you've signed up for and choose Remove Signup. Your spot opens back up for others.

Creating a signup sheet

Signup sheets are created when setting up or editing an event in the Calendar.

  1. Create or edit an event in the Calendar.
  2. Scroll to the Signups / Contributions section of the event form.
  3. Add items (slots) to the list. For each item, enter:
    — Name — what the member is signing up for (e.g. "Bring pasta salad")
    — Quantity — how many spots are available for this item
    — Notes (optional) — any extra instructions
  4. Save the event. The signup sheet is now visible to members.

Assigning members manually

Admins can assign any member to a slot on their behalf — useful when coordinating contributions for members who don't have the app handy.

Open the signup sheet, tap an open slot, and select Assign Member to choose from the group's member list.

Editing signup items

Return to the event in the Calendar and edit it to adjust the signup items — add new slots, increase quantities, or remove items that are no longer needed.

Removing a slot that has signups If you remove a slot that already has members signed up, those signups are cancelled. Members are not automatically notified — consider sending a chat message to let them know.

Reminders

Members who have signed up for a slot receive reminder notifications before the event — the same reminders set for the event itself. This helps ensure members remember their commitment.

Reminder timing is configured on the event in the Calendar. See the Calendar & Events guide for details.


Export & Print

Tap the print icon on any signup sheet to print it or export it as a PDF. The exported sheet shows all slots, quantities, and who signed up for each.

Useful for having a physical reference at the event or sharing outside the app.


Frequently Asked Questions

What plan do I need for signups?

Signups availability may vary by plan.

Can I sign up for more than one slot?

Yes. You can sign up for as many slots as you like on the same event, as long as spots are available.

Can I see who else has signed up?

Yes. The signup sheet shows all slots and who has claimed each one, so members can see what's still needed.

What happens if I forget to sign up before the event?

You can sign up at any time while the event is upcoming and the signup sheet is open. Admins can also assign you manually.

Can I sign up for a slot on behalf of someone who isn't in the group?

Only group members can appear on signups. If someone isn't a member, an admin can add a note to a slot or adjust the item description to account for external contributions.

Are members notified when a new signup sheet is created?

Members receive the event's standard notifications (push, email) when the event is created or updated. There is no separate notification specifically for a new signup sheet being added.
