Alpha leaders can decide how they would like potential Alpha guests to sign up. Some options are: on their church website, using a Google Form, through a Facebook event, from the TryAlpha page, with a Zoom registration link (more info here).
After a guest signs up, it's important that the Alpha leader welcomes the guest right away to confirm their sign-up and share relevant info (eg. start date, time, location or Zoom link or other video conferencing info). Here is a sample that you can customise and send out:
