How do I add an Assistant to the Elfster Gift Exchange?

Assistants can help keep everything running smoothly in a Gift Exchange. They're able to do almost everything an organizer can do.

Organizers can add Assistants to help them moderate, including adding and removing members, starting and organizing Gift Exchanges, and editing the Gift Exchange settings.

Adding an Assistant

  1. Click on Exchanges located in the menu bar

  2. Select the Gift Exchange you want to add an assistant to

  3. Click ⚙️Manage Exchange under the Exchange title and image

  4. Select Manage Assistants

  5. Select participant(s) you’d like to be your helper(s) from the list

  6. Changes are saved automatically!

📝 Assistants can perform almost all the tasks that Organizers can. They cannot delete Gift Exchanges and cannot create a poll. 📝

✨ Elf Pro Tip: If an Organizer needs an Assistant to help manage the Gift Exchange, but not participate in it, the Organizer should invite that person and have them accept the invitation to the Gift Exchange. The organizer would then make them the assistant. Once they are an assistant, the person can change reply to not participating, so they don't draw a name.
