One form for every team, a clear path for the undecided, and Team Orientation built into the front door of serving.
c3toronto.com/teams is a long scroll of 21 team cards, each leading to its own page with its own copy of the same sign-up form. There's no path for someone who isn't sure which team fits, no mention of Team Orientation anywhere in the journey, and no way to know who's coming on a 3rd Sunday until they walk in.
Keep the browsing experience (short descriptions, filters), but route every card to one singular form. The form pre-fills the team you came from, offers "Not sure yet" as a first-class answer, folds in a Team Orientation sign-up that always shows the next date automatically (3rd Sunday — no maintenance ever), and welcomes people already on a team who just want to attend Orientation.
From any team card (pre-filled) · "Not sure yet" · already on a team, signing up for Orientation
→ that team's People Flow at "New Interest" (per location, existing plumbing)
→ "General Interest in Team" workflow — followed up personally by that location's Inroads Lead
"Team Orientation" custom field on their profile: Orientation RSVP – [date] · location · signup type (replaces the current profile-note approach)
Attendance applies Orientation Completed. Didn't attend? Auto call task for the Inroads Lead. Joined a team workflow? General Interest card auto-completes — graduated.
One new workflow per location: General Interest in Team, owned by the respective location's Inroads Lead. Anyone signing up for (or attending) Team Orientation who isn't placed into a specific team workflow lands here — the undecided, and walk-ins who never signed up online.
This workflow's success is not staying in it. It exists to bridge people into an actual team workflow — the win is their name appearing in one. Two automations run it:
| Trigger | Automation |
|---|---|
| Lands in General Interest | Inroads Lead gets an intro step — reach out before the 3rd Sunday, be a face to find at Orientation |
No Orientation Completed tag after the orientation date | Auto-creates a call task for the Inroads Lead — "we missed you, the next one is [date]" |
After a Sunday's attendance is complete: Orientation Completed but not in any team workflow | Auto-added to General Interest — the Inroads Lead follows up to land them on a team |
| Their name appears in any team workflow | Card auto-completes — graduated. That's the metric: General Interest → team workflow |
People already on a team are already in their team's workflow — an Orientation RSVP just tags them; General Interest never touches them.
Reporting on this workflow is simple and honest: cards completed = people who found a team; cards aging = people the Inroads Lead is still fighting for.
Today, orientation attendance lands as a note on the person's Planning Center profile. The proposal moves it to a "Team Orientation" custom tab — sitting in the profile sidebar exactly like Vulnerable Sector Check and CPR Certification do now.

"Emmanuel attended team orientation today (Hosting breakout, Hamilton)."
Readable on one profile at a time. Can't filter a List by it, can't count attendance, can't trigger automations.

Structured data: filter Lists ("RSVP'd Aug 16 · Hamilton · not completed"), count per month, drive the call-task and General Interest automations.
Headcounts before Sunday — filter people by Orientation RSVP – [date] per location for setup, hospitality and breakout planning. No leaks — every form submission has a workflow home; nobody ends in a mailto link. Honest reporting — RSVP vs attended vs no-show per location, per month, straight from tags. One form to maintain instead of 21 copies. People actually show up — on submit they add the date straight to their calendar, and an automated reminder email lands 3 days before each orientation with the time, location, what to expect, and kids info.
The back half of this funnel is live: the Breakout Lead attendance experience has been rebuilt to be far more user-friendly on the day. Leads pick their location and the attendance form opens inside a guided page — a coach bar follows along step by step as they submit (name & team → tick everyone → done), sized so nothing hides below the fold on a phone. A built-in roll call handles walk-ins who aren't on the list: jot their first and last name (email optional), work a per-person checklist to get them signed up to the right team, reload, and tick them — so attendance is confirmed for everyone before the breakout closes.
This proposal completes the picture: the website captures interest and RSVPs at the front, the attendance guide confirms who actually came at the back, and the tags meet in the middle for reporting and follow-up.

The date logic is ~10 lines of JS (already written and verified in the prototype).signup_type = undecided / rsvp_only into General Interest in Team, plus three scheduled jobs — every Thursday, send the reminder email to everyone tagged for that Sunday's orientation (3 days out); after each orientation, create a call task for anyone in General Interest without Orientation Completed and sweep attendees who aren't in any team workflow into General Interest; and daily, auto-complete any General Interest card whose person now appears in a team workflow.Orientation Completed.Approve the direction so we can brief the web team and set up the workflows.
