❖ Heads up! This article is only intended for Site Managers. Please select your product to see more details about how to set up user registration on your site.

You can establish what steps and requirements volunteers must accomplish during registration. Please select your product to see the steps for setting up user registration on your site:

Amplify Site Managers

When a new user registers on your site, they must first select a Registration Track. You can select which Registration Track you want as the default track, customize the welcome message, and more, all from your site settings!

User Registration Setup

1. Go to Settings > User Registration.

2. Configure your User Registration Options.

User Registration Options

On the User Registration page, you can set up how users begin their journey by signing up on your site! The User Registration Options include:

  • Restrict registration to these email domains only: Use this field to restrict registration to specified email domains. Each email domain you add should be separated by a comma, e.g., galaxydigital.com, example.com, etc.

    • Only the email domains listed in this field can register an account. To allow others to register, you would have to update this field in your settings.

  • Registration welcome message: This message is displayed on Step 1 for volunteers when they start to register on your site. You can personalize this greeting to welcome volunteers, introduce your organization, or set the tone for their volunteerism!

  • Track selection prompt: Do you have more than one Registration Track for volunteers to choose from? Be sure to create a good Track selection prompt that helps steer your volunteers to the right Registration Track for them!

  • Default registration track: When you select a default track, the system pre-selects that track when a volunteer registers on your site. They can still use the dropdown to select another registration track as needed!

  • Default track from Kiosk and Mobile App: The registration track you select here is the default track used for volunteers when they register through the Check-In Kiosk or Causer app.

The Volunteer Perspective

Want to test out registering on your site through a Track from the volunteer perspective? You can! Just sign out of your account and click Sign Up to get started! You can go through all of the steps assigned to that Track just like a volunteer. This is a great way to test it out for yourself.

Center Site Managers

When setting up user registration, consider the steps volunteers will take to register. These steps can help match volunteers to volunteer Needs and filter volunteers for future communications or report reviews. Consider the following:

  • What information would you like to collect from volunteers during registration?

    • You can add Standard Questions or create Custom Questions for volunteers to answer, like How did you hear about us? or Have you read our privacy policy?

  • Should volunteers complete qualifications during registration?

  • Do you want volunteers to select Causes and Interests during registration?

    • These help match volunteers with Needs that align with their Interests and Causes.
