Adding an Admin

Admin is one of two user permission levels in Text In Church. An admin has full access they can view, modify, and delete any component of your account: contact records, groups, connect cards, automated workflows, and more.

1. Go to Settings > Users

In the bottom left corner of your screen, click Settings, then select Users.

2. Click Add New

You'll be prompted to fill in the new user's details.

3. Enter the required information

  • First name

  • Last name

  • Email address

  • Mobile number (must be their personal cell phone)

Text In Church will send an email invitation to the address you enter. The mobile number is required for two-factor authentication -- after they set their password, we'll text a six-digit verification code to that number.

4. Fill in optional fields

  • Job title -- select from the dropdown list

  • User signature -- if your admin has credentials or wants to sign off with their title (for example: "Alisa, Hospitality Director"), you can add that here

5. Configure preferences

  • Can see contacts' payment amount -- toggle on if you'd like this admin to view payment data

  • Weekly group digest -- an email summary of group activity (new joins, removals, etc.); a helpful option for admins managing groups

  • In-browser incoming SMS notifications -- when toggled on, a pop-up appears in the browser each time a new text message comes in; can be turned on or off at any time

6. Set the permission level

Select Admin with full access, then click Save.

That's it. Your new admin will receive an email invitation to set up their account.
