forty slots, zero retyping

Switching from SignUpGenius is now a paste, not a project

The biggest reason churches stay on a sign-up tool they've outgrown isn't love — it's the thought of retyping forty slots. As of today, you don't have to. Paste your SignUpGenius sheet's public link and SignUpChurch rebuilds the whole thing as a draft.

The short version: On Dashboard → New sheet, paste a public signupgenius.com/go/… link into the new import box. Every slot arrives with its dates, times, and spot counts as a draft you review before publishing. Works on every plan, including Free — and nothing on SignUpGenius is touched.

What the importer does

It reads the same public page your volunteers see — no SignUpGenius login, no export file — and rebuilds the structure here: the title and description, and one slot per job per date, with start and end times, spot counts, unlimited slots, per-slot notes, and the location. A season-long sheet with dozens of dates comes over in one paste.

It lands as a draft, so you can trim old dates, reword titles, or reorganize with sections before anyone sees it — then publish and share like any other sheet.

What it deliberately doesn't do

Your volunteers' existing sign-ups — their names and emails — stay where people typed them. The importer moves your structure, not other people's data, and it never modifies or deletes anything on SignUpGenius. Keep the old sheet up until the new one is live, then retire it on your own schedule.

The full rundown of what imports and what stays behind is in the help center: import a sheet from SignUpGenius.

Why we built it

Churches tell us the same thing: the tool they use was built for potlucks and PTAs, not ministry — but switching felt like an afternoon of data entry. Now it's a paste. If you've been comparing, our honest side-by-side is at SignUpChurch vs. SignUpGenius, and the Free plan is a real plan — publish a sheet today and see how it fills.
