Add or Edit Groups that Receive Texts
If you've enabled text messaging for your church, you can change which groups receive texts.
Warning:
You may want 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.New sign-ups for Realm texting are currently disabled.
We have extended our partnership with Constant Contact to provide a SMS texting solution as an option for Realm. Click for more information.
You can export your existing Realm texting opt-in records to import into Constant Contact.
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.
