How Participants and Volunteers Access SignUp
No Account Required — Multiple Ways to Sign Up and Stay Organized
Last Updated June 17, 2026
Participants do not need to create an account to sign up. SignUp is designed to be easy to access from an email link, a shared URL, or a QR code — with no login barrier in the way.
Personal Email Invitations
When an organizer sends a direct invitation from SignUp, the email arrives from mail@signup.com. Clicking the link in that invitation automatically recognizes the participant by their email address — no password needed. These invitation links should not be forwarded, as they are tied to the individual recipient.
Shareable Invitation Links
A shareable link can be posted anywhere — newsletters, websites, social media, or group texts. When clicked, participants enter their email address or log in with Google or Facebook to access the sign-up form.
QR Codes
Organizers can generate a QR code linked to their SignUp. Great for posting in a hallway, on a flyer, or on a slide — participants scan and go directly to the sign-up page.
Managing Multiple Activities
Participants with invitations to multiple SignUps can create a free password-protected account to see all their activities in one place under the My Invitations tab.
Finding a Lost Sign-Up Link
Search your inbox for any email from mail@signup.com. Or visit SignUp.com and select Find My SignUp in the menu — enter your email address and a new activity link will be sent to you right away.
