You can streamline your volunteer time review process by setting up automatic approval for volunteer hours, reducing the amount of manual work necessary.
Permissions
Any administrators are able to request changes to auto-approval of tracked volunteer time.
Enabling automatic approvals
There are three options available for approving volunteer hours:
- Manually review and approve all submissions: This is ideal for maintaining complete control over approving tracked time.
- Automatically approve all submissions: This is the best option for open programs and small admin teams who don’t have much time to process reviews.
- Automatically approve submissions within a set limit: This allows for a hybrid approach where submissions below a predefined number of hours are automatically approved, while those exceeding the limit require manual review.
This flexibility enables you to efficiently manage volunteer hours, saving time while ensuring accuracy and control where needed.
When tracked time is auto-approved, the volunteer will be informed via email. If they earn rewards, these will show up in their giving account immediately.
