How it works

Here's how creating a sheet works: pick a starting point, build, review, publish.

Getting started

Start from a template or a blank sheet, build it, review it, then publish.

Open New sheet from your dashboard — you'll be asked to sign in first if you aren't already.
Pick a template — parent-teacher conferences, volunteer shifts, a potluck bring-list, office hours, field-trip chaperones, or a group poll — or start from blank.
Build your sheet: everything is grouped and fully editable — dates, times, your sheet's time zone, and how many people each slot needs on scheduled sheets, or the items or options on a bring-list or poll.
Answer the student-privacy question yourself when it's asked — it is never filled in for you.
Review the sheet and how it will look to the public, then publish and share the link.

Ask every participant for what you need when they sign up.

Open your sheet's page and go to the Edit sheet tab (Editar hoja).
Under Sign-up questions, add up to 5 questions — short or long answer, and mark any as required. Add them before anyone signs up.
Questions lock as soon as someone signs up — even if that sign-up is later canceled — so their answers stay tied to the questions.

Automated reminders, thank-yous, and custom notes for a published sheet.

After you publish, open the sheet's page and go to the Workflows tab (Flujos de trabajo).
Edit the default reminder and thank-you messages and their timing, or add your own rules — choose the trigger, the recipient, and the channel.
Keep the messages general: use the variable placeholders instead of typing anything private about specific people.

Share management.

Share bookings across a team of hosts.

On a time-based sheet's edit page, pick a team mode: round-robin, collective, or group.
Add your hosts by name + email — they don't need an account.
Round-robin auto-assigns each booking to one free host; collective books the whole team at once; group is one shared session many people join.
Bookers don't pick a host — the assigned host shows on their confirmation, and each host gets an email.

Keep collecting interest after every host is booked.

On a team sheet, turn on the waitlist for the sheet.
When every host is booked for a slot, families can join the waitlist instead.
When someone frees up, convert a waitlisted family — they get a confirmation email.

Fit one more in when no host is free.

Open the waitlist on a team sheet's detail.
Convert a family and pick any host from your directory.
You can seat them even if that host is already booked — the double-booking is allowed and clearly flagged.

Bring extra staff along without taking a seat.

One link that reaches every participant.

On the sheet's edit page, add one document link.
Everyone who books sees it on their confirmation page and email.
Never link a document about a specific student — use the per-claim send instead.

Book walk-ups, phone, or email sign-ups.

Open the sheet detail and add a participant to a slot.
Enter their name and email yourself.
They get the same confirmation email as a public booking, and behave like any other booking afterward.

Export who signed up.

.ics + Google deep-link.

Easy on the eyes.

On the new create screen, you can type a plain-language description and get a draft sheet to review.

From "New sheet", type a description instead of picking a template — for example a date, time, and how many people you need.
Before you submit: never include private or student details — no names, notes, or anything about specific students. Only general sign-up information belongs in the description.
After submitting, review the generated draft — title, description, time zone, and slot count. Apply it only if you're satisfied; it opens in the builder where every field stays fully editable.
Publishing still requires the student-privacy question, answered by you — the draft never answers it for you.
