Pastoral Visits have always been a useful tool for tracking actions that have occurred in the past. However, with the introduction of email notifications and reminders for scheduled visits, they can now be used for future actions.
Once you, as a Church360° Members user, have opted-in to receive notifications, you will receive an initial notification email upon being assigned to a pastoral visit, as well as a reminder email on the day the visit will occur.
Here is how to opt-in to these notifications:
Here is how to test out the notification:
Almost immediately, in the email that you use for your login credentials, you should receive an email from automail@360members.com that looks something like this:
Additionally, you will receive a similar reminder email first thing in the morning on the date of the pastoral visit.
You will receive notifications in the same way if someone else assigns you to future pastoral visits, so they can be used to assign visits to other people.
The pastor does not just complete pastoral visits; they are any activities in the area of pastoral care.
Pastoral visits are a great way to track any actions that support pastoral care, including phone calls, emails, greeting cards, or conversations at church.
We hope you enjoy using the pastoral visits notifications in Church360° Members! If you have any questions about how to use it or suggestions about improving it, please contact CTS Software Support at support@cts.cph.org or (800) 346-6120.
