Group Reservation (Volunteer)

Event administrators can enable group reservations to allow volunteers to claim spots for a large group.

Note: This is a setting that is toggled for each event. If the group reservation option is not present on an event, then the event administrator has not enabled group reservations for the event.

How to Manage Your Group's Reservation

Once the reservation has been approved by the event administrator, the point of contact will receive an email with a link to claim their spots by inputting/uploading requested information for each member of the group.

First, the point of contact will need to either select their group on GivePulse if it has already been created or click on "create a new group" to create a new one. Once the group's name and details have been entered, the point of contact will need to add the information of the users who will be registered to the event in the required columns.

GivePulse Pro Tip: Click Import Participants (CSV) to upload a CSV file containing a list of all members of your group. 

After adding all necessary information and agreeing to the platform's liability forms, click Save Participants to complete the registration process. All of the newly registered members of the group will receive an email confirmation of their registration. 

If updates need to be made to the group reservation, the group's point of contact can return to the original group reservation link to make any necessary changes.
