Automated Message Campaign

Automated Message (AM) Campaigns give you the ability to scale personalized interactions using timed and date-based events, triggered by external apps, keywords, imports, copy/moves or manual kickstarts. AM Campaigns help you ensure no one falls through the cracks.

"I was looking for a bulk text solution that integrated with Planning Center ... then I looked at the [PastorsLine] features ... I was sold without the PCO integration after that. The custom workflows, data capture, automation --- it was a no brainer."

Aubrey Robertson

Pastor, Today Church

Our Automation feature lets you

Setup evergreen campaigns based on a specific date (Dec. 20) or a timer based on the number of days, hours or minutes elapsed (7 days since last message). Set the campaign once, and let it run. Whether it is first-time guests, attendees to your recent Easter weekend or volunteers for an upcoming event, automation means you can keep in touch as often as needed because you’ve set it all up in advance (when you had the time).
Schedule date-based series of messages (Automated Message [AM] Campaign) in one interface such as 21-day prayer, 40-day lent or 7-day devotional. A person joining the campaign on Day 3 will get only the messages from Day 3 onward.
Link one AM Campaign to another via keywords. For example, the last message of your VBS follow-up AM Campaign says something like, “To continue your child’s church Bible fun, text BIBLEKIDS to (phone number--if different from the one of the current AM Campaign). This will bring them to the AM Campaign you have set up for your ongoing, kids Bible study group.

Add people to a different AM Campaign when using one of our PastorsLine integrations. Easily automate your workflows with overnight or on-demand syncing from the external apps you already use, send messages automatically and avoid the issues with human errors and human effort.
View at which stage each person has reached in an AM Campaign, so you can follow up as needed.
Include people from data capture into an AM Campaign at a later time via a process queue.
Manually add contacts to AM Campaigns as necessary.

I honestly never realized how many people must have been trying to text our landline all along! We never advertised our landline as a number you could text, but we have gotten multiple members of our congregation and even guests from some of our events to send us texts saying, ‘Thank you for this and that’, and it has been really great to see!

Heather Bredeman

Joy Christian, Center,
St. Cloud, MN

I belong to a Church Communications group on Facebook, and you were highly recommended. We signed up with you over others because we are a multi-generational church and you have an ability to reach people on landlines.

Daniel Chambers

Sending and receiving texts from our landline number is the #1 feature that ensures visitors and members can engage with us on the most relevant means of communication there is right now. Having one number to advertise, simplifies all graphics, ads, announcements, etc. for us, as well as for those we're trying to reach. I use PastorsLine EVERY DAY. It's changing the way we engage with our members - it's both easier and more effective.

Tara Freeman

...the guest connection card...We had a great response -- people whose names and contact info we might not have captured otherwise. Our autoresponder directs them to our Welcome Center...where we have a gift...with their name on it.

The text message bible study invites are working great. We saw a huge increase from 5-6 to 10-12 and the numbers stayed consistent.

[PastorsLine is] a huge answer to something we’ve been looking for. I was able to send a template with a field merge by scheduling it...

Dr. Matthew Robinson

Pastor

PastorsLine has been a fantastic tool which has enhanced communication with out church family. As with any tool, the secret is in learning how to use it effectively. I have been most excited when I see my church members telling their very own unchurched friends to text “PRAY” to our pastorsline number and have them join our prayer sessions.

Paolo Esposito

Pastors, RGF Church

At first, the landline feature seemed like it would overload the church secretary since everyone would have the church phone number saved in their phones. This has not happened! People are simply interacting with our events better than ever before! We love the landline feature.

Sterling Willborn

Associate Pastor, Journey Church

When we finished our evangelistic event in Houston, 70% of those who were baptized, communicated with me through PastorsLine...it had a big influence.

Wyatt Allen

Evangelist, End Time Hope

Baptism Worship Service Reminders - bulk texting—we were blown away by the number of people who showed up.

Cara Saliby

Director of Admin

Thus far it’s worked perfectly!! When we wanna send out a text message we use the church office #.

When somebody calls this #, it just takes them to our office phone where a front desk agent can answer. This is perfect! Far better than our individual cell phones ringing when somebody calls our PastorsLine number. It’s only been a week but it’s working great!

Josiah Elias

Young Adults Pastor, Faith Chapel

We hired [PastorsLine] to assist us in a new “Small Group” initiative we were launching at our church. The tools they provided us with helped us monitor and take action on hundreds of responses. Our workflow was cut in half and our ability to track, monitor and follow through with the data gathered more than doubled.

Chris Elliott

Associate Pastor, New Believers

For us [a PastorsLine text-enabled church landline] has been huge for people to be able to text the number they already knew for our church. It means they don’t have to remember two different numbers when they are looking to try and get in touch with us. Most people don’t even realize its mostly an automated process.

Tyler Boles

Connections Pastor, The Exchange

It’s honestly the best feature that we have utilized. Being able to give one phone number for voice and text simplified our process.

J.W. Dunbar

Pastor Gateway Church, Ashland, KY

The personal and almost immediate assistance at [PastorsLine] is so great! We feel valued and important! We love that it is church-based!!! … Jason and the team at [PastorsLine] are always ready to help, make things better, and they also welcome feedback.

Richie Halversen

Pastor @ College Drive Church

“Our land line [SMS-enabled by PastorsLine] is more familiar to our congregation. When we texted from the other number, some would inquire about who was sending the text as the number was unfamiliar, and we did not use it frequently, so by the time we sent another text, some had forgotten the number.”

Myrna and Peter Rohdin

New Life Fellowship Church, Elmhurst, NY

By using the same phone number for texting and calling you get people to remember your phone number. When it comes the time that are ready to reach out to us they know the phone number.

Abraham Schwartz

PastorsLine has totally changed not only my workflow, but it's taken our "personal" factor up 10x! Just with our welcome process, we have gone from a 40% READ rate to a 40% CONVERSATION rate. That's just crazy!
So thanks 🙂
