Seeing how a popup is doing

Last reviewed 2026-07-17 · About a 3 minute read

A popup doesn't have a guest list the way a meet-up would. Supporters reserve a sign on the public Forever Canadian website, and what you keep an eye on is how many signs are left.

Volunteer RSVPs are separate: they tell you which volunteers plan to help at the popup. The Reservations on Forever Canadian card contains only aggregate public sign-reservation counts — no supporter names or contact details.

Reservations by date

The card starts with All dates, then lists each current or upcoming date in order. A scheduled date still appears when every count is zero. Open Past dates or Cancelled dates, when present, to review past or cancelled activity.

Coming, Maybe, and No are the latest recorded responses. On past dates, No can also reflect a completed reservation, so use Signs handed off for the pickup-attributed fulfillment count. All dates is calculated independently across the popup; the date rows can overlap and should not be added together to recreate the top total.

Signs available

On the popup's page, the signs available number is the count you're working with. That's the figure supporters see on the public site, and it's what you'll watch as the popup runs.

Adjusting the count

When you hand signs out, restock, or just want the public total to match what's on hand, use the Adjust signs available section: type the new number in Set signs available to and click Update. This is the one place that changes the count — ordinary edits never touch it, so the number always reflects what you set.

Is it live?

The status banner at the top of the popup's page tells you the popup is Live on Forever Canadian — that's your confirmation supporters can actually find it and reserve a sign. If it shows Publishing… or Couldn’t publish yet, give it a minute or click Retry.

The reservations card remains available while the status is Publishing… or Couldn’t publish yet. A Team publishing problem does not necessarily mean the already-live Forever Canadian reservation data is unavailable.

Where supporters reserve

The reserving happens on the public Forever Canadian site, not in this team app. Open your popup's public page link (shown on the popup's page once it's live) to see exactly what supporters see.

Not seeing your popup on the map?

If your popup isn't showing publicly, check the status banner first. A popup only appears on the public map once it's Live on Forever Canadian. Still stuck? Contact support.
