Getting Started Checklist

Sometimes you need a little extra help. Try one of these methods to contact support for all your Go Method questions.

Contact Support Options

Establish your organization's general and global settings, such as your phone number format, timezone, and default country, set up two-factor authentication, and optionally generate a global non-disclosure agreement. We'll also set up a customized web address that your participants will use to sign up or make payments.

Enter General Settings

Upload your organization's logo and select a color theme that matches or compliments your brand. You can adjust system settings and make more advanced customization (adjust notifications, revise email, etc.) when you're ready.

Personalize Your Site

When you're first starting, we recommend that you prioritize setting up your integration with your church management software (ChMS). You can return to our integration section later to authorize additional services. If you don't own a ChMS, you can skip this step.

Connect Church Management Software

Go Method works with the best  partners in the business. We integrate with multiple ChMS, donation, digital signature, background check, and travel partners to make managing your records and tasks easier. If you plan to use Go Method as stand-alone software or do not plan to integrate with other software products and services at this time, you can skip this section.

Steps to Create an Event

Clone Existing Events

Categories and filters are used on the public event listing page to help sort and specify your events. This helps your potential participants find your event or trip more easily. For example, for a Ministry category, you could have filters for Adult, Family, Youth, Kids, and more, or for a Destinations category, you could have Europe, Africa, Asia, and more.

Filters and Categories

Checklist items are suggested (not required) tasks, information, or other recommended items to complete. They can be trip specific or used across multiple events, and they can be set up just for leaders, participants, or both. Checklists are a great way to keep your team on track. Participants may have a different checklist view than leaders or administrators.

Checklists

Public Engagement

Profile Questions

Requirements

Applications

Use an event template as a guide when creating an event. Event templates save time when creating new events and event requests.

Event Templates

Event Request Workflows

Trip Communication

Reference questions require event participants to submit personal or professional references as part of event application requirements.

Reference Questions

While background checks may be optional for some mission trips, we strongly recommend them for all your trips. Go Method integrates with multiple background check providers.

Digital Documents

Downloadable Packets

Archiving

Account administrators are responsible for the overall setup and configuration, and assigning various levels of security and privacy via permission assignments.

Account Administrators

We recommend routinely cleaning up your database. Administrators can merge old and new team member accounts for consolidation.

Merge Accounts

Leaders

Outreach Partners

Think of profile notes as a sticky note of important things  to remember about your Go Method participants.

Profile Notes

Generally, each organization wants to collect unique or specific data during the application process. Prior to setting up trip or event applications, add custom fields to capture such information. Examples might be t-shirt size, skills or special interests, or medical conditions.

Custom Fields

Customize Email

Trip Costs

Funding milestones are designed to help event administrators manage funding due dates for events and participants.

Export  donation transactions to a .csv file to import or view in Microsoft® Excel or Google® Sheets.
