maybe first in Florence and then I’ll harvest in Chianti? Or am I expected in Sicily for pomegranates?
A long succession of accepted requests. That’s fine!
The first requests were not successful, what to do next?
All is well if appointments are in order so that you can easily take stock. Remember to cancel any commitments you cannot keep in good time and to notify those expecting you in good time about the date and time of your arrival.
We advise you to keep your messages in order: in good order those accepted and confirmed, in archive those expired or declined.
To keep track of your correspondence you have several tools at your disposal. You can filter your messages by “Status” to easily find unread or unanswered messages, so you have a quick look at recently arrived communications and can respond to all inquiries in a timely manner.
In addition, you can use the filter regarding the “Visit Stage” to identify requests still pending, as well as those accepted, confirmed, declined, or canceled.
All messages also arrive in the mailbox used to register your profile: however spending some time checking messages on the site will help you to avoid problems.
For any difficulties you can always contact staff@wwoof.it
Insights
When requests are accepted
Once an exchange about mutual motivations and expectations is established, the host decides to accept or decline the request to inform you of his or her willingness to host you.
The WWOOFer’s confirmation
Once the host accepts the request, it is your turn to give final confirmation. Having completed this step, the agreement is formally concluded and both you and the host can feel committed. Please cancel requests for all visits that you ultimately decide not to make.
Archive
Over time, messages accumulate and reading them can become complicated if you don’t adopt some small strategies. You can archive messages through the controls within the box that opens from the three vertical dots on the right at the top of the image.
In the same box you have the tools to change dates to the request, leave a testimonial about the experience and possibly refer the member if there is a need.
As you see in the image below, you can search by name, search by status, and search by stage of visit-opening that window you can find unread or unanswered messages, pending, accepted/confirmed, or declined/canceled requests.
How to send a second request to a host
When a first request has failed or you have completed a first experience with a host and want to open a new request you will find yourself on the same page as the previous conversation- that is not an error!
Simply change the dates used for the previous request by entering the new ones. A conversation about the new proposal will begin.
