# Signing up for Canvassing Shifts

We have created a system for organizing canvassing shifts. The system will be updated weekly with new shifts. Please check it regularly to sign up for the shifts you want. After adding new shifts each week, we will post it in the Slack channel #canvass-shifts. <br>

### Other notes about shifts:

-You will receive your petition packet, clipboard, and other materials when you come to your first shift.

-On your first shift, you will receive a brief orientation and the opportunity to shadow another petitioner before beginning. Just so you know – an organizer will also be there to answer questions and help you with anything you need.&#x20;

-After your first shift, we encourage canvassers to continue using the shift signup system throughout the campaign, but you are free to collect signatures on your own anytime.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://handbook.proanimal.org/~/changes/8OnlYlegnL56c3P2z9bM/for-canvassers/canvassing-guide/signing-up-for-canvassing-shifts.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
