Send Reminders to Others?
candice kim | Jan 7 2008
Help me help the helpful! I work at a non-profit and I have a group of volunteers to coordinate. This actually can eat up a chunk of my time. I already know that tasks that need to be done and I need a way to send out timed reminders to volunteers. I want to be able to input all the future reminders at one time and trust that at the appointed time in the future, the volunteers will be duly reminded. Barriers: volunteers use a host different e-mail services and also do not want to sign up for any more lists/services. I have found many services that will remind one person but haven't found any that will remind others without their subscription to the service. Can anyone help me with a suggestion? 4 Comments

You could use Sandy to accomplish this. When you send the email about the thing to the participant(s), CC: Sandy and include appropriate reminder details about the thing. So, an example might go something like this:
Then, all of the participants are brought under management of your "virtual assistant" Sandy for this item only. If they are Sandy members, then they'll get their info about the item there. Otherwise, it'll come via email. HTH » POSTED IN:
