Unfortunately, due to actions taken by the cellular networks to reduce spam via test messaging,
we will no longer be able to continue to use our SMS service provider to send text messages. We recommend using
the Emailer to send communications to your members in lieu of the Text Messenger. We apologize for the
inconvience.

Enhanced Feature: Emailable Contribution Reports
There are two new report buttons on the Contributions tab. Email Annual Contribution Receipt and Email
Individual Contribution Sum. These buttons work the same way as their respective reports but instead of
generating a pdf document, an email is creating and sent to the household's email address.
Tip: Send one to yourself to see how it works and make sure you verify your contributor's email addresses.

IMPORTANT Upcoming Change in January 2021
Text Messenger: Price Adjustment
We have offered the Text Messenger as a free feature within the Membership feature but have found it necessary
to begin passing on the cost of the service. This is how it will work: You will be charged $0.0075 per
160 character segment for each text message you send.
Example: a 100 character text sent to 200 members will cost $1.50.
We will only bill your account once a month for which you will receive an invoice and receipt.
We are displaying the current month's balance on the Text Messenger feature so you can see what your current
charges have accumulated to.

We have switched our text messaging provider to a more reliable service. Please have your members

that their members will be able to reply to.

log in today you will be greeted by the same program that you are used to seeing and
that will not change.
