How auto-scheduling works
EveryoneUpdated Sep 28, 2026
The scheduling algorithm builds fair rotations by considering:
- Volunteer availability and blackout dates
- Preferred scheduling frequency (weekly, biweekly, monthly)
- Household connections — linked members won't be scheduled for conflicting slots
- Role qualifications — only qualified volunteers are assigned to specialized roles
- Recent history — the algorithm avoids scheduling the same person repeatedly while others are underutilized
The result is a draft that you review before anyone is notified. You always have the final say.
