Groups and Keywords
Grouping contacts is a powerful way to keep your church communication relevant to your members. PastorsLine allows you to create unlimited groups for your unlimited contacts. Makes sense, right? You can assign your contacts to their groups or, better yet, they can opt in via keyword-triggered, automated messages which you have set up previously—leaving you free to do what you do best: the personal touch.

Our Group feature lets you


Create group names as general (Ladies / Gents) or as specific (ReceivePrayerLadies / ReceivePrayerGents / PrayerWarriorsLadies / PrayerWarriorsGents) as you need.
Personalise your group messages using merge fields. e.g. Hi [First Name], so they feel human.
Give a one-to-one feeling because when your audience replies, their responses only come back to you, the sender (via the desktop or mobile app), and not the entire group. Set up alerts via push, email or SMS.
Handle advanced groups by setting up simple, keyword, data capture and many other types of groups.
Create groups that is powered by keywords to automatically add contacts to your groups and trigger other workflows.
