# Run volunteer and community sign-ups

The slots that need filling, who took them and what’s still open. Volunteers sign up from their own assistant, and organizers ask what’s covered.

## An example

**You:** Put me down for the bake sale table, 10 to 12 on Saturday. And I can bring two trays of cinnamon buns.

**ADoor:** Added 1 entry to Sign-ups and 1 to Bringing

**Sign-ups**

| Slot | Volunteer | Time | Status |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Bake sale table | Eva | Sat 10–12 | Signed up |
| Bake sale table | – | Sat 12–14 | Open |
| Setup | Ahmed | Sat 8–10 | Signed up |

## What you can ask later

- “Which slots are still open?”
- “Who’s bringing food, and what?”
- “How many hours did each volunteer give this year?”
- “Send me the list for Saturday morning.”

## Who can see what

- **Volunteers** sign up for open slots and see the schedule, without other people’s phone numbers.
- **Organizers** see everything and can move people around.
- **A partner organization** can read the schedule for their part of the event only.

## How it compares with SignUpGenius or a shared spreadsheet

SignUpGenius is better for people who will never sign in to anything: they click a link and pick a slot, with email reminders.

A regular group that keeps coming back gets more from ADoor. Sign-ups stay as history, phone numbers stay private, and organizers ask in plain words what’s covered.

## How to start

1. Open an assistant like ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Cursor and connect ADoor through MCP.
2. Tell it: “Set up volunteer sign-ups: Slots (event, task, time, needed), Sign-ups (slot, volunteer) and Bringing. Invite the organizers.”
3. Invite volunteers once the slots are in, and keep phone numbers to the organizers.

## Questions people ask

### Do volunteers need an account?

Yes, to sign up themselves. Organizers can also add people who tell them directly.

### Can volunteers see each other’s contact details?

Not unless you give them access to that field.

### What does it cost?

Nothing on the free plan, which holds 3 tables and 100 rows. Pro is $10 a month per workspace, with 1 GB of storage and no per-GB charges.

### What if someone leaves?

Remove their access and it stops working on their next request. The history still shows what they added and changed.
