Seeing who's coming to an event
Each event page has a "Who's coming" panel that shows volunteers who've RSVP'd. Anyone signed in can see the Yes and Maybe lists — only the organizer sees who said No.
What you'll see
Two sections — Yes and Maybe — each with the volunteers' names (full name) and small profile photos. The "Click a name to view their profile" hint sits just above the lists. If you're the organizer, you also see a No section underneath.
Click a name
Clicking any name opens that person's profile. If it's your own name, the link takes you to your own profile page. Saying hello before the event in a quick message can warm up the room.
Notes on Yes RSVPs
If a volunteer added a note when they RSVP'd Yes ("I'll bring folding chairs"), only the organizer sees that note. Everyone else sees just the name.
Why No is organizer-only
The No list is hidden from other volunteers so people can decline without their answer being broadcast publicly. The organizer needs it for planning — everyone else doesn't.
Volunteers on a shift
If the event has volunteer time slots, each shift card also shows a small preview of the first few volunteers signed up, with a "+ N more" link to expand the full list. That's a separate signal from the "Who's coming" RSVP panel.
Not seeing names?
If the panel doesn't appear at all, you're probably signed out — event RSVP details only render for signed-in volunteers. Sign in and refresh the page. Still stuck? Contact support.
