Steps for a successful rollout 

 

Important Links

When getting started with your VolunteerMatters account the following links can be used to advertise your VolunteerMatters system from your website, email, marketing materials, etc.:

Login (for existing volunteers): https://customercode.volunteermatters.org

Volunteer Registration (for new volunteers): https://customercode.volunteermatters.org/register

Project Catalog (for all volunteers): https://customercode.volunteermatters.org/project-catalog

Kiosk (for all volunteers): https://customercode.volunteermatters.org/kiosk (note: you must have support configure your system for kiosk initially).

Custom Project Page URLs (for all volunteers): Sometimes you may want to direct or advertise a specific pre-defined subset of projects and that's where the ability to create custom Project Catalog URLs comes in. Click here for more information

Project Page URLs (for all volunteers): You can link directly to a specific project page via their project catalog URL from the project dashboard on the administrative side.  This URL is beneficial for hidden projects, etc.

You can also deep link to any specific project needs from a project by navigating to the project page either by the Project Catalog URL noted above or via the Project Catalog "Learn More" button and then clicking on individual project needs and then copying the URL from your browser.

NOTE: "customercode" is assigned to your account when you subscribe to VolunteerMatters. Typically your customercode is your base domain name from your web address. For example if your web address is http://www.acme.net, your base domain name and customercode is 'acme', so your login would be https://acme.volunteermatters.org. If you have any questions on your customer code please live chat with us now from your VolunteerMatters portal or submit a support ticket via email..
