Planning events, coordinating volunteers, and collecting money can get complicated fast — especially when your tools don’t talk to each other. That’s where SignUpGenius integrations (and built-in tools) come in.

By connecting SignUpGenius with the platforms you already use — or by using powerful native features like Donations— you can streamline workflows, reduce manual work, and keep everything in one place.

Here are the key SignUpGenius integrations and tools every organizer should know about.

Zapier: Automate Your Sign Up Workflows

With Zapier, you can connect SignUpGenius to thousands of popular apps — no coding required. This integration helps automate repetitive tasks and keeps your data flowing seamlessly between tools.

With Zapier, you can:

  • Automatically add new sign ups to Google Sheets
  • Send notifications to Slack when slots fill
  • Create or update contacts in CRM tools like HubSpot or Salesforce
  • Trigger follow-up emails or workflows after someone signs up

Instead of exporting lists or copying data manually, Zapier helps your sign ups work for you behind the scenes.

Best for: teams, nonprofits, and schools that want flexible, no-code automation.

Raise Money with SignUpGenius Donations

Want to bring people together to support an important cause? With SignUpGenius Donations, you can create a fundraiser that syncs seamlessly with your sign up. Invite your audience to sign up for an event and contribute financially — all in just a few clicks.

Organizers use SignUpGenius Donations to:

  • Host fundraising campaigns for schools or PTOs/PTAs
  • Collect donations to support disaster relief efforts
  • Coordinate meal donations or support for families in need
  • Raise money for nonprofits or community initiatives

The SignUpGenius Donations feature makes giving easy for donors and simple to manage for organizers. Track donations in real time, monitor progress toward your fundraising goal, and engage your audience — all within the platform you already know and trust.

Calendar Integrations: Keep Everyone on Schedule

Missed commitments can derail even the best-planned events. SignUpGenius makes it easy for organizers and participants to stay aligned with built-in calendar syncing.

Participants can add their sign ups to tools like:

  • Google Calendar
  • Apple Calendar (iCal)

You can also use Zapier to automate calendar creation for filled slots or recurring events.

Best for: volunteer coordination, ongoing programs, and time-sensitive events.

CRM & Contact Management (via Zapier)

If your organization uses a CRM or contact management system, connecting it to SignUpGenius helps you maintain accurate, up-to-date records.

Popular use cases include:

  • Creating CRM contacts from new sign-ups
  • Updating records based on participation or donations
  • Syncing volunteer or donor activity across systems

This keeps your outreach, reporting, and engagement efforts aligned — without extra admin work.

Best for: nonprofits, churches, and growing organizations.

Email & Communication Tools

SignUpGenius integrates with popular communication platforms through Zapier, making it easier to stay in touch with participants and teams.

You can:

  • Add sign-up participants to Mailchimp lists
  • Trigger follow-up emails after events or fundraisers
  • Send internal alerts via Slack when sign-ups or donations roll in

That means fewer missed messages and more timely communication.

Best for: organizers managing large or recurring groups.

Why Integrations (and Donations) Make SignUpGenius Even Better

Using integrations — along with built-in tools like payments — helps you:

  • Reduce manual data entry and errors
  • Save time on coordination and follow-ups
  • Keep sign-ups, schedules, and payments in one place
  • Create a smoother experience for participants and donors

Whether you’re planning a school fundraiser, coordinating volunteers, or organizing a community event, SignUpGenius integrations help you spend less time managing logistics and more time bringing people together.
