About the App
Museums like the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia) count on volunteers to create an incredible experience for our 750,000+ visitors per year. The app I built is a streamlined, efficient way to keep track of volunteers and how they contribute to the museum. There was no way we could accomplish this with a clipboard and a sign-in sheet!

-
Whiteboard the branching paths of your volunteer check-in and checkout flow. This will help you think through your flow holistically before attempting to implement it.
-
The museum uses Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP) to customize Salesforce for nonprofits. This pack includes, among other features, scheduling of volunteer shifts. But you could also create a custom object called “Volunteers” and start there.
-
Create your flow using Flow Designer. Work step-by-step at each layer to design and test your flow.
Trailblazer NoteFlows take time to create and test. Be patient and use the Trailblazer community for help and support.
-
Use Lightning App Builder to create a new Lightning app, then drag and drop your Flow component into your app. This will create a new app, using your flow, that is accessible from mobile devices using the Salesforce mobile app.
