Volunteer Scheduling & Reminder System
A done-for-you church and ministry automation built for the Volunteer Coordinator, connecting Twilio and Google Calendar so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
For recurring volunteer roles, greeters, childcare, the tech team, this automation automatically fills the schedule based on each volunteer's stated availability, sends confirmation and reminder texts before every shift, and automatically reaches out to a backup list if someone can't make their assigned time.
Sunday mornings stop starting with a scramble to figure out who's actually showing up to serve.
- Planning Center
- Twilio (SMS)
- Zapier or Make.com
- Google Calendar
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Left unautomated, a volunteer coordinator spends hours on the parts of this job that don't require judgment: copying data, sending reminders, and tracking status by hand.
With this automation
- Multi-touch reminders that measurably reduce no-shows
- Waitlists that backfill cancellations automatically
- Self-scheduling with instant confirmations
- Dispatch and on-my-way updates sent to the right people
