For sites that function as a volunteer center and who manually review and approve volunteer needs posted by agency managers, it would be incredibly helpful if the system would send an automatic notification to agency managers when the needs are approved. The notification would serve as a critical communication that their need is now live and ready to 1) receive volunteer responses, and 2) be shared thru the agencies other channels (social media, newsletters, etc).

That 2nd item (sharing thru the agencies other communication channels) is imperative to the success of the site/portal. If agencies do not use the need link provided by the system to promote the opportunity outside the site....their volunteer response rate will be low. 

As a site manager, my goal is to encourage and remind agency managers to use the need link in their promotions. BUT....they shouldn't share the need link until a site manager has reviewed and approved the need. Thus, the need for an automatic notification. It's a no-brainer, really!

Who's with me?! :)
