If I create a status column with employees assigned to a “gig”, do they each have to be a paid member in order to receive the assignment?? I am the only one I want to edit my account/boards/items… New to platform and trying to get a feel for what I need to pay for and what can be done for no additional seats??
Hey Mark! If you want them to be able to see the item/gig in your board, they will have to be added to the monday account but they don’t have to be a paid member. You could always add them as a Guest or Viewer.
More on these user types here.
Does this help clarify? Let me know your thoughts and we can go from there! 
Thanks for the response. My goal is to send them a text or email notification but to not even have a link to the item. Is this possible? I made my wife a viewer the other day but when she opened the monday app she could edit everything. Is there a reason for this?
