Questions about switching
Can I keep listing my events on outside calendars if I switch from RunSignup?
Yes. Endurance lists your events on the outside event calendars you choose through Sync, and every event also appears in Calisto Active's event discovery, so attendees keep finding it.
How do my RunSignup volunteers move to Calisto Endurance?
Volunteers apply from the event's Work at This Event page in Calisto Active, and shifts are set per post with Workforce. Previous staff from earlier editions are listed, and each volunteer's pass is scanned to clock in on Event Day.
Does Calisto Endurance build the event website the way RunSignup does?
Yes. The event website is made and published from the event, counts down to Event Day, and lists sponsors in a Supported by band. Sites edits it further, adds languages and connects your own domain.
