Data Capture aka

Digital Connect Texts

Your weekend services are too important to let any new guests fall through the cracks.

Let us help you reach more guests by adding our Digital Connect Texts (Text-to-Join) to your service this weekend.

We will help you reach
people!

New guests and visitors walk through your doors each weekend. We know you want to connect with them, and let them feel welcomed and at home from the moment they step foot in your church!

We want to help you reach those people more easily, communicate better and even make following up with them a walk in the park!

Traditional cards and online forms (connect cards) are absolutely great ways to capture your new guest's information. However, with potential new members this weekend, the challenge for most is how to capture large amounts of data in the shortest time.

Digital Connect Texts

Now you can meet this challenge with Digital Connect Texts—not to be confused with Digital Connect Cards. Digital Connect Texts are the next big thing in capturing data from your new guests.

What does a
Digital Connect
Text look like?

Take a look at this demo of what a Digital Connect Text looks like.
The screen on the left shows the guest’s experience as they are
walked through the Digital Connect Text process.

The screen on the right is what you would see as they go
through this process. Everything is automatic and instant—while
still keeping that personal touch which is so important in
building relationships!

As you can see, the guest’s Name and Email information is automatically collected and a new profile is created for them. (A bonus if you use a Church Management Software we currently integrate with like Church Community Builder or Planning Center).

After they have completed the auto data capture, your guests can also be automatically entered into an Automated Messages (AM) Campaign that you have created, and the guest follow-up process can begin!

Your weekend services are too important to let any new guests fall through the cracks. Let us help you reach even more of these guests by adding our Digital Connect Texts to your service this weekend.

Our Data Capture feature lets you

PastorsLine Digital Connect Texts
  • checkboxx[1]

    Capture important relationship-building, contact information such as first name, last name, email and birthdate.

  • checkboxx[1]

    Personalize your texting by inserting fields such as [first name]. This means that even a bulk text will feel more 1-to-1 since each person’s text begins with his or her name: Hi there, Jason.

  • checkboxx[1]

    View where your contacts are in any given signup process and resend some of the stages to encourage them to finish. Let’s say you have asked people interested to text ‘VBS’ to your PastorsLine number. You can monitor things by viewing all the people who have responded and where they are in your autoresponder series: Have they signed up? Great! Have they just texted ‘VBS’ but not gotten further? You can send them a personal text to follow up or perhaps resend one of the data captures texts to jog their memory.

  • checkboxx[1]

    Sync your data capture (Text-to-Join) group with External apps. With our external integrations, you can set it up so that all those who opt into your PastorsLine group will also be added to most of our external apps—no need to enter the information again. Timesaver, right?
