Volunteers

Bring in a volunteer with a QR code

A QR access code opens one task for one person with no Cadrify account. Door-knocking rounds, leaflet rounds, phonebanks, telling shifts and knock-up rounds all work the same way, so the volunteer who turned up unannounced on the day is active within minutes.

01

Create the code

Open the round, shift or task and select Assign, or its own QR code button on tasks that offer one directly. A code covers one task at a time, so pick a single round or shift, not several. Select QR code as the type.

02

Set who has to identify themselves

Under Auth required, Name required is fixed on for door-knocking, knock-up rounds, telling and phonebanking, because the volunteer will see and record register data. Sign-in required is on by default, turn it off for someone with no Cadrify account. Leaflet delivery can stay fully anonymous, since no register data is shown there.

03

Add a filter or script if you need one

Open More options to narrow the task with a Filter, attach a Script, or set Active from and Active until dates. Leave Active until blank and the code simply ends at the end of today.

04

Share the code

Select Create code. The dialog shows the QR image, the code's reference such as FA-0042, its end date and a claim link with a Copy link button. Send either to the volunteer, by text, email or a printed sheet.

05

What the volunteer sees

They scan the code or open the link. The page names the task and asks for their name, then one tap lands them straight in, worded for the task itself, Start knocking, Start calling, Start delivering and so on. Scanning alone does not use up the code. It is claimed only once they start.

What to check
  • Each code is single use. If the volunteer sees a message saying the code has expired, was revoked, has already been used or is not active yet, create a fresh code rather than retrying the same one.
  • Codes for this task lists every code issued as claimed or unclaimed, each with its own Revoke code control.
  • Revoking a code is immediate. Someone part way through their task loses access at once, and there is no undo.
