Question 2

Create, edit and delete lists

Accepted Answer

In ChurchDesk it is possible to group contacts into various lists. Lists makes it easier for you to communicate in a targeted and tailored way to a group of contacts instead of communicating with everybody in the same way.

Some contacts might be interested in children's activities, because they have children, others are interested in senior activities and others again have an interest in concerts. A list is a group of contacts matching the same filters being tags (interests) or other criteria such as birthday, location, school etc.

The outcome is that you can send newsletters about children's activities to contacts who have expressed interest in that while sending other newsletters to contacts who have different interests.

Create a list

In People you can create liste in two different ways: via the left-hand side filter and Tags

Create list using the filter

In People you can use the filters on the left-hand side to define the criteria for belonging to a new list. You can filter based on data about the contacts including tags. You can also filter on Contributions data (behavioural data including donations or payments to e.g. concerts). Select the filter criteria you need for this list and save by clicking "Create list". Then you simply need to provide a fitting name for the segment.

Question 4

Create personal / pastoral notes in ChurchDesk

Accepted Answer

Private and pastoral notes in ChurchDesk

At ChurchDesk we believe having the right tool for your private notes can have a positive impact on how clergy can exercise their pastoral care.

All users can create personal notes on the church's contacts. These notes stay personal. They cannot be shared or handed over to someone else, and can only be seen and managed by the person who created them.

On contact:

On the 4th tab of the contact "Pastoral Notes", you can see who added a note and when, but you cannot read the note.

Ckick "Add pastoral note" to create a new note or click a note, created by yourself to read and/or edit.

Overview of pastoral notes:

Select Pastoral notes in the black bar on the left when working with contacts.

You can search the notes and choose whether you want to view all notes (like here) or only your own notes. And again: You can only read and edit your own notes.

Pastoral notes are visible in the ChurchDesk Mobile App too.
