If there are monetary expenses involved, can they be tracked and reimbursed if needed?

What we built

Volunteers can now submit expense reimbursement requests directly from their portal — attach a receipt photo or PDF, enter the amount, description, and preferred payment method (Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, Cash, or Check). Admins review submissions, approve or reject with a note, and mark approved items as paid. Full audit trail included.

Better to make the volunteer names visible on the front end as and when they sign up.

What we built

On the availability/sign-up page, volunteers can now see the first names of other devotees who have already signed up for each seva slot. Up to 3 names are shown with an overflow count (e.g. 'Radha, Govinda +2 more signed up').

Sukeshvari Devi Dasi Mataji

Please add a feature so that admin can assign services to volunteers even if they don't mark their availability. Also, if there is an upcoming event, volunteers should be made aware via email or text so they can sign up.

What we built

Admins can now assign any volunteer to a seva slot regardless of whether they marked availability. The volunteer is automatically notified by email and has 48 hours to confirm or decline (tentative assignment flow). We also added adaptive automated reminders that fire 7, 3, or 2 days before the event depending on lead time, plus a day-before reminder for all locked schedules.

Collecting general volunteer information for temple records.

What we built
