A comprehensive guide to managing volunteer applications, training, and shifts within your CRM pipeline.
Scale your event operations by treating your volunteer recruitment like a sales pipeline. This guide walks you through the setup required to move volunteers from 'Applied' to 'On-Site' using GHL automations.
Create a GHL Form for volunteer applications. Map custom fields for: Previous Experience, T-Shirt Size, and Availability Blocks. On submission, add the tag 'Volunteer-Applicant'.
Set up a specific CRM Pipeline called 'Event Staffing'. The stages should include:
When a volunteer is moved to 'Approved', trigger an automated email containing their Digital Volunteer Manual and a link to select their shifts.
Use GHL's 'Event' triggers for each shift start time. Send a reminder 24 hours and 1 hour before their shift starts. Include a map link to the volunteer check-in area at your venue.
Using Tixified alongside GHL ensures that your staff and attendee data live in the same ecosystem. Tixified offers 0% per-ticket fees, so you can focus your budget on staff appreciation and event quality rather than SaaS overhead. Plans start from $49/mo.
Flat-fee ticketing with native CRM integration. No per-ticket fees, ever.
