How to set it up
- Set the dayIt starts with three shifts next Saturday: loading, unloading and unpacking. Change the times to when the truck is booked.
- Say whereSend the addresses to the people who sign up, rather than putting them on the page.
- Send the linkText it to friends and family. Nobody needs an account.
- Thank them“Tell people something” on your private link emails everyone who signed up and left an address, which is handy for the address and a thank-you.
What helps
- Four people for the heavy morning is about right for a small home. Add more for stairs or a house.
- Ask anyone with a truck, a dolly or straps to say so in their note.
- Feeding people is the least you can do. Say in the description that lunch is on you.
- Keep your old and new addresses off the page. Anyone with the link can see it.
Something to send with the link
Copy it into a text, an email or the group chat, change what you like, and paste your link at the end.
Questions people ask
- How do I send people the address?
- Use “Tell people something” on your private link once they've signed up. It goes by email to everyone who left an address.
- Can a friend help all day?
- Yes. They can pick all three shifts at once, unless you turn on “One sign-up each”.
- What if the date moves?
- A shift's time is fixed once the sheet exists. Make a new sheet for the new date, and send everyone the link with “Tell people something”.
