How to support a Flote

What a Flote is, how to find one, and how to sign up, change your plans, or send a message.

• What is a Flote?

  A Flote is one shared page for someone facing a serious illness. It holds how they are doing, what would help, and who is around them.

• Do I need an account to help?

  Not always. On a public Flote you can sign up to help, request a visit or send a message without one. Private Flotes need an account and approval.

• How do I accept an invitation?

  What to do next depends on what you got. A named email invitation walks you through a confirmation step; a shared link takes you straight to the Flote.

• How do I find someone's Flote?

  To find someone's Flote, select Find a Flote on aflote.com and search by name. It only shows up if its family turned on Search visibility.

• How do I sign up to help?

  Signing up to help with a practical need on a Flote takes your name and email. You do not need an Aflote account when the Flote is public.

• How to follow a Flote

  Following a Flote takes one tap on Follow. After that, updates from the family arrive by email, and you can turn any of those emails off.

• How do I sign up to bring a meal?

  Sign up to bring a meal on someone's Flote. Pick a meal and a day, add your name and email, and get the drop-off details by email.

• How to book a visit on a Flote

  Book a visit on a Flote by choosing an available time and sending a request. The family approves it before the visit is confirmed.

• How do I cancel a visit I signed up for?

  You can cancel a visit from the link in your confirmation or reminder email. It takes about a minute, and the family is told by email.
