One of the primary actions you'll want to know about is sending messages, like emails and texts, from the Platform. We recommend an integration with SendGrid for outgoing mail and Twilio for text messaging.

Of course, you can also send letters and other communication through bulk mail.

For recording purposes, you can track interactions with people in your church using the Contact Log.

With Custom Forms, you can gather information about people right from the source.

Use Planned Contact records to track the actions needed from staff and volunteers who follow up with people in your church.

Your staff often work together to accomplish a goal for your church, and MinistryPlatform can help facilitate that. Using Procedures, your team can align with the same understanding of what needs to be done and how to do it.

Notifications can alert staff and users of certain things that take place in the Platform. These can be set up in relation to views, selections, or individual records – anything you need to be notified about!
