Think of a Connect Page as a dynamic email you can send in a text message. You can share words, images, videos, and links, and people can open them right from their phones. Here’s how to build one.
Start a new page
Click Connect, then click Pages.
Click Add New.
Choose to create from a template or from scratch.
Templates are an easy way to get started, so we’ll use one here. There are lots to choose from. In this example, we’ll choose Prayer Needed and click Next.
The template fills in a lot of your page for you. Think of it as a starting point. You can adjust anything you like.
Customize your content
Headline. Change it to whatever you’d like.
Image. Include an image, or turn it off.
Video. Include a video, or leave it off.
Message. This is the main body of your page. For a prayer page, this is where you list who you’re asking people to pray for.
Add a button
Below your message, you can choose to show a button. Your button can link to:
Another website.
A Connect Card for someone to fill out.
Another Connect Page you’ve created.
Not every page needs a button. For a prayer page, you might leave it off so the focus stays on your prayer requests.
Turn on reactions
You can let people respond to your page with emoji reactions, or turn reactions off.
Publish your page
When everything looks good, click Publish. You’ll get a link you can copy, or you can start sharing by text message right away.
Update it anytime
You can edit your Connect Page at any point, and it updates automatically. You don’t need to re-share the link.
So if you spot a mistake, or want to add new prayer requests throughout the week, just edit the page. Everyone with the link sees the latest version.
Share it
When you share by text, choose the group you’d like to send to. If you already have a prayer team group set up, you can send the page straight to them so they can start praying.
Next steps
Try a few templates and see what fits your church. A prayer list is a great place to start.
