Unison allows you to sign up for a shift on behalf of another person. This is helpful if you are bringing a friend or family member to serve with you, or assisting someone who cannot sign up themselves.
How to Sign Up as Someone Else
Navigate to the schedule.
Click Sign Up.
Click Continue.
Select Sign up as someone else.
Enter the volunteer’s information.
Click Sign up now.
After submitting the signup
The volunteer is added to the shift immediately.
Their volunteer profile will be created or updated in your database.
They may receive any confirmation or reminder emails configured for the schedule.
You will see their name listed in the position on the schedule once the signup is complete.
Best Practices
Always use the same name and email address for an individual to avoid creating duplicate profiles.
If you are signing up multiple people, repeat the same process for each volunteer.
Troubleshooting
The volunteer does not appear on the schedule
Refresh the schedule page to confirm the signup was saved.
Make sure the shift still had available positions when the signup was submitted.
