Improve your church communications (and reduce your workload) by integrating your Mailchimp and PastorsLine accounts.
Integrating PastorsLine and Mailchimp gives your church improved communication and better relationships with your church members and first-time guests. Integration also reduces your workload.
Sync your Mailchimp data
with PastorsLine

You have already created contacts and groups on
Mailchimp. You have already captured important data.
Why do it all over again? Just integrate with PastorsLine,
and enjoy the fruits of your previous labors.
Imagine adding an email integration which can help improve your guest follow-up process, member assimilation, and/or just automating the sending of longer content via email.
What we didn't want to do is reinvent the wheel and try to create what other companies have mastered—not only the design options but also the understanding of email compliance and deliverability.
We believe if you have not already automated your email delivery through the integrations we currently support (CCB & PCP), the next best option is to integrate with Mailchimp.
Mailchimp offers 10000 free emails per month for up to 2k subscribers. They have great email templates, a great reputation, and comply with best practices to ensure your email can be delivered.
Here's what we offer now!
- Ability to import your MC lists or groups into PastorsLine and send out texts.
- Ability to automate an email to go out by choosing one of your saved templates in MC.
Here's what we plan to work on soon.
- Ability to write the body of an email and send using an MC template.
- Ability to add someone from PL (keyword or manually) and move them over to a list or group within MC. This is how you can automate follow-up emails.

Works with our Automated Messages Campaign
Planned!
Replace Digital Connect Cards
with Digital Connect Texts
In MC, data is captured via a form. On PastorsLine, it is captured via text message—easier for you and your subscribers. So, capture the data on PastorsLine, and send it back to MC.
You can use the data capture (FKA autoresponder) feature to
instantly capture new data via text and push
that info into a MC group immediately. E.g.
first and last names, emails, birthdays, phone
numbers (Digital Connect Texts).

Planned!
Two-way Sync
As your church grows with PastorsLine, you will most likely be adding new subscribers and new groups. All this can be synced back to MC, keeping both apps up-to-date.

You will be able to sync some or all of your Mailchimp groups to PastorsLine.
You will be able to see all your
contacts with a phone number
in your contact list.
You can create a new Mailchimp group or sync to existing groups from within the PastorsLine interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Integrating is not scary...
...because PastorsLine takes excellent care of your data.
PastorsLine processes all data securely using our SSL certificate. We also follow all industry ‘best practices’ standards regarding handling and treating data. PastorsLine never deletes groups or contacts on your church’s CCB account.
In addition, you can always opt-out. Your church always retains full control of your data. At any time, you can roll back the PastorsLine app in order to easily disable the CCB integration.
The best news is that as your church grows, PastorsLine and CCB can continue to sync your new contacts and groups up to an unlimited number with virtually no restrictions.
