I'm so glad! Thank you!

Unfortunately USB is only for desktop stations.

Hey @daisydenn! Thanks for leaving a comment. I am so glad the videos have been helpful!

Hey @KingsNg, you can go to the conversation using the chat icon in the desktop web app found in the vertical bar on the right side of the page. Click on the Chat icon and select the chat message/thread. Then select the sprocket icon at the top. You should now see the Delete conversation text in red on this next screen.

Thanks

Hey thanks for the comment and question. The way I think this could work is to create your normal giving condition with: Giving | Donors | Gave a donation | any amount | since | 6 months ago and then duplicate this condition and use AND then just change the time frame to a lower amount like 3 months ago or whatever time frame you would like to look at. Then you will get people that have given twice within a certain time frame. Proof me on this one, but I think that could work.

​@@ThreefoldSolutions Thanks for getting back so fast! I think that's a great idea to shorten the list of people it pulls. I'll try it! We may just have to re-create those lists every few months

Thanks for the nice comment!

Hey @xaviertiradov, thanks for the question! So the built-in text option isn't available with automations or bulk actions. You would have to use a 3rd party integration for that. We love Clearstream and you can find out all of the details here for what they offer: app.clearstream.io/signup?ref=threefold&step=info It's a bit more than one-way texting, it's actually more like 2-way texting, keywords, workflows and lists and much more.

Just a side note, Planning Center just released a new feature to schedule Church Center notifications. You can read more about it here: pcopeople.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/29292147427227-New-Schedule-Church-Center-announcements?fbclid=IwY2xjawFWtW5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHVSajcNSIcMZPQnohN0XK7wbCQLpBLhXk_-ppYqeuHtj1ObNHZj2l5tL0g_aem_p6mv8IPGGScXIkno8Izjkg

Thank You! Appreciate your comment!

Thanks so much @scott29kelly. Great questions. I use this to primarily look for email address changes and that might alert me to a security breach where a staff member's email address has suddenly changed. If you have 2-factor authentication implemented for each staff member this becomes much less of a factor. But volunteers with "view" access can be another place to verify email address changes. Using an automation into a Workflow would give you the alert that a new profile has a change that you need to review.

You are so welcome! Thank you for leaving such a nice comment!

Hey there, thank you for your question! Have you tried using another web browser if on the desktop or if this is happening on the Church Center mobile app, could someone have changed the permissions on this group potentially? There's a setting that you can have on or off. It allows admin to choose whether messaging is on or off for a group. Or maybe it's a one-off issue and you need to reach out to Planning Center Groups support to just report it. Check the settings first though.

Hey @prsupaman1, you probably got this figured out, but I now realize this is due to not having a chat with permissions. Did you find that to be true?

@@gunthrulife thanks for your question! You can use lists to look into a workflow and see how many people are on a step, completed a step, and more. Unfortunately you can’t see which cards are overdue this way though. There will be software coming out soon called Parable, that will let you see overdue cards a lot more. Stay tuned.

@@gettinschoold2004 if you’re talking about your monthly cost based on an event with 400 attendees, archive the Registration/sign-up, then adjust your settings in the account settings/products/Registrations menu. Choose a lower tier that matches your regular event attendance and that will lower your cost each month. Hope that helps.

Unfortunately, with my list, I have used the tag before for testing and examples and my list was just a quick list with the same name as I had used previously. That's probably why you are seeing additional names in my tag list vs. what was shown in my People list. But as far as your issue with 580 in your People list and only 270 in your MailChimp sync'd list, you'll have to give me some additional details. I know it might be obvious, but did you verify that everyone in the People list has an email address? Also, are any of the folks "unsubscribed" in MailChimp? Probably something additional going on with this sync, but I wanted to ask about the basics first.

@@ThreefoldSolutions Yes, I have verified they all have email address and there is only one name that has unsubscribed. I have Planning Center set up for a refresh and resync with MailChimp every night so I will see what the numbers are Saturday morning. Thanks

When you list your T-shirts within a Signup and use Add-ons, you can also set "Variations". When you choose this, you will just create a variation for each size (S, M, L, XL, etc.). Hope that helps!

Hey David, thanks for taking the time to ask a question! That's a great question, I do not know of a way to identify or set a name outside of the model or IP Address. We generally print out the Printer Information (under Information/Print Configuration/Printer Settings) and then use labels on the Printer and on the Station that say exactly which printer that station should be paired with. We hope to not change them up, but when we do, we know which station was paired with what printer by the label we attached to the bottom of the printer (i.e. Printer 01 and Station 01).

One additional thought, you can change the name when using Bluetooth connections. Not sure that is helpful, but wanted to mention that you can modify the name when pairing for the first time with your device.

@@ThreefoldSolutions thanks! I actually just heard back from PCO on this, they said that at the moment, the Check-In's app does not pull the name of the printer and instead over the network will only show the Model and Serial Number as the printer's name from an iPad.

Hey Tamara, thanks for your question! You can use an automation in a list to add someone to a Workflow automatically when a person is added to that list. You can also use the bulk action feature in your lists to take that action manually (rather than through an automation). You might find our video on lists helpful here: th-cam.com/video/0BTkR6utG54/w-d-xo.html

Hey Andras, unfortunately, Planning Center's Check-ins Station software only support the Brother printers from a mobile device. Having said that, you can use a "proxy" type of mobile device to act as the "Shared printing station" where the mobile device is actually the station connected via wifi, but the macbook will print labels through the shared mobile device station. You can experiment with using LAN connections and POE options (if you understand those things) on a single ipad or tablet and that might offer addtional shared printer station options as well.

Hey jennifercox9768, it depends on which option you used. If you used the People Form or third-party form, when you go the Forms settings page and then click on the Form listed. You should see the "delete" button. If you used the form builder built-into the Sign-up, you will have to remove the questions individually by clicking on them and you'll see that same delete button.

Hey Jonathan! I have actually never tried it, but my advice would be to test on an internal sign-up that you set up privately (keep off of Church Center) and then run through the sign-up process yourself and check on the tracking tool of choice to see if you get the results you intended. Great question though and let us know what you find out if you test it!

@@ThreefoldSolutions thanks. I tried it, but it just displays the code as text.

Thanks for trying and sharing the result!

Hey @joeycrochet you can visit the Church Center page for that Registration Sign-Up and then look down in the lower right-hand corner and you will see the word "Shareable code". Click on that to see the downloadable QR code.

Thank you!

That's a good idea and we will look into doing that!

Sharing the QR code just directs people to the form. If the person has an account, they will be asked to login, if they do not, they can fill out the form and an account will be created. Hope that helps!

Great question, if you use a list in People and look at a Workflow and within that workflow, you can see things like whose on which step or who has completed a step. It may not exactly show you how many notes, but it will get you close to what you are looking for. Give it a try and experiment with the Lists options.

Thank you, this was very helpful.@@ThreefoldSolutions

Thanks for the comment Scott. We will be adding some of the playbook videos here but also plan to add additional content to the TH-cam channel that won't be found in the playbook series.

@@ThreefoldSolutions Can't wait. Super helpful content!

There isn't a way to display your questions on a single screen (like typeform or survey monkey) but you can use those 3rd party forms and then link them to Planning Center using a new add-on called "Form Forward". So when someone fills out your typeform, they can have the information ported directly into a People workflow for follow up later. You can check it out here: app.formforward.io/sign-up

@vjrvideo You can display a People form on a Kiosk/PC screen and the user would not have to log in (within Church Center) first before filling out the form. So yes, it's possible to display a form, but not necessarily show only one field or question per screen. You can use a 3rd party form and then have that form information brought into a Planning Center People workflow. It's called Form Forward and you can check it out here: app.formforward.io/sign-up Also, I might suggest using a QR code that points to the form and putting that QR code on a sign or pre-service slide and asking people to fill it out. Most people have mobile phones these days and have their info. saved on those devices so it's easy for them to fill out the form quickly.

Great points to consider Mike and appreciate your comments. The hope with dedicated and separate SSIDs is based on recommendations and experience with Check-ins just working better overall when set up this way, rather than all being on the same network that all congregants use.
