Volunteer engagement tools include automated email and text messages, post-event surveys, personalized experiences, and event search and discovery. Organizations can recruit volunteers to host events, create customizable campaigns, reach potential hosts across channels, and set approval processes and permission levels. The platform includes shift scheduling, hours tracking, custom forms, and volunteer self-signup. It provides real-time event data, CSV export, read and write APIs, and SQL mirrors or database replicas. Listed integrations include Salesforce, NGP VAN, EveryAction, PDI, ActionKit, and others.
