What Is an Email Notification to Administrators?

As an administrator of Volunteer Impact, you can choose to receive notification by email when:

  • A new volunteer completes your application form
  • A volunteer signs up for an Activity/shift or changes availability
  • Declines an assigned shift
  • A volunteer resigns from your organization
