Advocate Applications

Allow prospective advocates to apply to join your community through a public application form. You can customize the form with your own questions, review submissions, approve or reject applicants, and send automated emails at each step — all from your admin portal.

Enabling Applications

The application feature is disabled by default. To turn it on:

1. Go to Settings in the navigation
2. Click Advocate Applications
3. Toggle Advocate Applications Enabled to on

Once enabled, your community will have a public application form at /join that prospective advocates can fill out.

The Advocate Applications settings page also has a Quick links card with shortcuts to everything in this section — the application questions and each of the application emails.

In this section

• Setting Up the Application Form — customize the form’s messaging, add custom questions, and map answers to advocate fields.
• Reviewing Applications — search, review, approve, and reject submissions, with duplicate-advocate detection and rejection reasons.
• Application Emails — the three automated emails (submission, confirmation, and approved) and how to turn them on, edit them, and use merge variables.
