Send Reminders to Others?
candice kim | Jan 7 2008
Help me help the helpful! I work at a non-profit and I have a group of volunteers to coordinate. This actually can eat up a chunk of my time. I already know that tasks that need to be done and I need a way to send out timed reminders to volunteers. I want to be able to input all the future reminders at one time and trust that at the appointed time in the future, the volunteers will be duly reminded. Barriers: volunteers use a host different e-mail services and also do not want to sign up for any more lists/services. I have found many services that will remind one person but haven't found any that will remind others without their subscription to the service. Can anyone help me with a suggestion? 4 Comments

 Google Calendar and invitations to an "event"?Submitted by mwr on January 7, 2008 - 4:17pm.
Workflow:
Nobody has to have a Google account but you (or whoever's organizing the events). I tested this by having my gmail account invite my work account to an event. After confirming my desire to attend this event, I got an email 24 hours before the event itself. Now, this isn't entirely hands-off for your volunteers. They will receive one email per event asking whether or not they'll attend, but honestly, that may be a benefit for you, since you'll know well in advance who can make it. » POSTED IN:
