What people write to your church lands somewhere

Today a prayer request lands in one pastor's personal inbox, between two invoices. Nobody else sees it, and nobody knows whether anyone replied.

The four types are the ones on the screen, with their colours. People and dates are examples.
The four types, the read or unread state, archiving, the reply kept with its date and the sending channels exist as shown. Email reaches your members; the in-app notification only reaches those who have an account, meaning the team. SMS and WhatsApp are disabled in the product: we show them for what they are, in preparation.
The problem

A personal inbox is not a church address

When what people write to the assembly lands with one person, everything depends on them: their time, their holidays, their memory. And the day they hand over, the history leaves with them.

Two doors, one inbox
People write to you from your church's public page, or from Community. Both land in the same place, and everyone with permission sees the same list.
You can see what is left to do
A message is read or it is not, replied to or not yet. The unread counter says whether work remains — no more "did someone reply?".
What is handled gets archived
An archived message leaves the list without disappearing. You can find it again; it does not come back every morning.

What an email cannot do

A prayer request is not a question about opening hours

In an ordinary inbox everything looks alike: you have to open everything to find what is urgent. Here every message carries its type from the moment it arrives.

Four types, from the start
Message, prayer, question, testimony. The type comes from the form the person filled in, not from sorting done afterwards.
Filter instead of reading everything
See only the prayers before the prayer meeting. See the questions when you have time to answer them.
What was answered can be read again
The reply is kept with the message and its date. Six months later you know what was said, and by whom.
The other direction

Announcing without depending on a WhatsApp group

A group ends up holding people who left, missing people who arrived, and nobody knows who receives what any more. An announcement goes to a list the church already keeps.

To the whole church, or to a group
The whole assembly, an area, a department, or a few chosen people. The list comes from your members and updates itself.
Email for the assembly, notifications for the team
An announcement goes out by email to your members. The in-app notification only reaches those who have an account — your leaders — which is exactly what an internal instruction needs.
What went out stays written
Every announcement keeps its subject, its date and its recipients. You never wonder whether it was actually sent.

What this module does, and what it does not

A short list beats a broad promise. Here are both, without rounding.

What it does
  • Receive what people write to the church, with its type: message, prayer, question, testimony.
  • Show what is read, replied to, archived — to the whole team, not to one person.
  • Keep the reply attached to the message, with its date.
  • Send an announcement by email to the whole church or to a group, and by notification to the team members who have an account.
What it does not do
  • No SMS or WhatsApp for now: both channels are in preparation and disabled in the product.
  • This is not instant messaging: you reply once to a message, you do not hold a live conversation.
  • We do not write to your members for you, and no address leaves your church.

An address for the church, not for one person

Create an account, and what people write to your assembly will land somewhere the whole team can see.
