For the month of May, we are happy to announce that we have improved our SMS sending functionality to now allow for roster confirmations to be recorded in Volaby. Volunteers that are on a roster will be asked to confirm their attendance using either "Y" or "N" which will then reflect in the roster within their activity. Just one more step to an expanded suite of SMS communications in Volaby. In addition to this we have implemented several fixes and quality of life improvements.
New Features
2-way SMS: 24-48 hours before a rostered activity, an SMS will be sent to all rostered volunteers reminding them of their attendance asking them to confirm using Y or N which will then show in the activity roster. Guide HERE
