Volunteer Module
The Volunteer Module is the basic, standard module that most Connect clients use. (Other modules include Advanced Events, Disaster Response, and Service Learning.)
Email Digest
Beginning February 2016, the following automated notifications are being discontinued, and their content is being combined into a single digest email:
- Need Notification for Users with Interest
- Event Notification for Agency Fans
- Need Notification for Agency Fans
- Connect Hours Rejection: User
The new digest email, titled "Weekly Digest," informs users of new needs and events that may be of interest to them, based on their fanned agencies and indicated interests. If a user's submitted volunteer hours have been rejected, the digest email will include this information as well.
The digest includes links to make it easy for users to access the information summarized in the email.
