Replying to Multiple Substitute Invitations
What if several substitute invitations arrive before an adorer replies?
An adorer can configure their account to receive text messages for opportunities to serve as a substitute.
However, if they receive several invitations before responding, they might wonder how to respond.
They can answer everything in one message, in whatever wording comes naturally. We Adore Him understands a reply that combines the answer with the invitations it applies to, such as yes for 1 and 2, no to 1, 3-5, or 1 and 2 no. A blanket answer works too: all, both, none, or neither.
A simple Yes or No also works. The system recognizes that the adorer has several open invitations and asks which one they meant. They can then respond with the number (e.g., 1 or 2 or 1 and 2).

Of course, they can also visit their Dashboard on your We Adore Him site to respond to substitute requests there.
Please note: To troubleshoot an anomaly with this system, start by viewing the text message history for that adorer to see where they got tripped up.
