Accept requests to contribute to tasks and projects

Contributors can now submit request to claim tasks and contribute to projects


Members of your community can now request to contribute to a project directly in Clarity. When there is an unassigned task to be claimed, contributors can submit a request to claim the task. When their request is approved, they become the assignee responsible for completing the work. They can also request to become a contributor to a project. Core members can easily see all the requests in one place. Convenient notifications keep everyone in the loop and the workflow moving.


Request to Claim is useful when you want community members to express interest in contributing to tasks and projects, but you don't want to give them permission to re-assign work on their own. This is very convenient if you have a public base because new contributors can enter your base, and request to claim a task or join an existing project without leaving Clarity.

This feature is available for every task and project in your base.

Request to contribute to projects and goals

  • On every project or goal, contributors can use the "Request to contribute" button to express interest in helping with the project.
  • This sends a notification to the community members who are involved in the project.
  • The project lead or pod lead can then approve the contributor's request. The contributor is then added as a contributor to the project.
  • The activity feed captures & displays the entire sequence of events.

Request to claim tasks

  • On unassigned task, contributors can use the "Request claim" button to express interest in a task.
  • This sends a notification to the community members who are involved in the task.
  • The project lead or pod lead can then approve a contributor's request. This makes the requesting contributor the assignee of the task.
  • The activity feed captures & displays the entire sequence of events.
