Add or Edit Groups that Receive Texts

If you've enabled text messaging for your church, you can change which groups receive texts.

You may wish to select just a few groups to receive text messaging when you sign up for a subscription, and introduce more groups later. You can add or edit the groups or ministry areas that receive texts at any time.

If you include all opted-in individuals, individuals can later edit their notification settings if they no longer wish to receive texts from a specific group. If someone has already disabled text messaging for that group in their notification settings, you will not be able to automatically opt them in.

  1. In the top-left corner, click your ministry hub then Realm. Then click Communications > Text Messaging.
  2. Click Edit Settings, and then the Connect Inbox Text tab.
  3. In the Search groups and ministry areas... drop-down, select the groups or ministry areas you want to enable text messaging for.
  4. To remove a group, locate the group's name in the list, and clickthe more options icon. Select Remove, and select whether to send a cancellation email to group members. Then click Remove.
  5. Select Include Opted-In next to a group to automatically send text messages to all opted-in individuals in that group. This will also add that group to the individual's text notification settings.
  6. Click Save.
