Think of them as “homes” where you can place individuals so you can send messages, follow up, and connect with intention. 💙

Why Use Groups?

Groups allow you to:

  • Organize people within your account.

  • Create communication that’s tailored to each ministry, event, or audience.

  • Keep guest follow-up and member engagement simple and effective.\

Ways to Add People to Groups

There are several ways someone can be added to a group:

Manually from the Groups Section

  • Open the group you want.

  • Click Add Member and select the person you’d like to include.

From the People Section

  • When adding or editing a person in your People list, you can assign them to the right group directly.

By Texting a Keyword

  • Guests or members can text a keyword (like VISIT or NEW) to join a specific group automatically.

Through a Connect Card

  • Paper, digital, or QR code Connect Cards can all capture info and place people right into the group you set up.

Pro Tip 💡

Use a mix of these methods! For example, let first-time guests join by texting a keyword, while your staff adds leaders and volunteers manually. This keeps your Groups complete and up-to-date.

By organizing your people into Groups, you’ll save time, keep communication simple, and ensure every person feels known, noticed, and loved. 🙌
