I use Flokenote for years in the different parishes I worked at. I love I can reach my parishioners by email or text messages, great!

We now have the ability to reach parishioners in an effective way we never have before.  Especially within our religious education and youth programs, the texting feature has been phenomenal, nullifying the need for cumbersome and often annoying group texts, allowing for personal exchanges with accountability.  One ongoing desire though is for us to have ONE phone number only for the parish.  I currently have over a dozen different phone numbers from Flocknote as I am part of several groups, and any time a message goes to multiple groups at the same time, it's yet another number to save. I understand the philosophy of having one # per group, and see how that could simplify life for people only involved in one or two groups. But it would behoove the majority of parishioners on our system if we had ONE number for the parish, and relied on the new (and very useful!) tag lines at the beginning of each text.

We've used this for our local Troops of St. George organization and it's been a great tool. There are a few enhancements I believe would take it from good to great. The ability to create multi-channel notifications at the same time vs. creating them separately would be a nice feature. Also, the ability to click 'edit' on a group to add multiple members to various groups is lacking too. The pricing tiers seem rather aggressive for what it offers. In my opinion it would seem to be prudent to have them in 50-member increments for each pricing tier or use the Squarespace model of charging a flat rate so it doesn't feel cost prohibitive to add more members.

Easy to communicate with the community.

Flocknote has made it really easy to get ahold of everyone in my church body! I will say we would like to see more options to put into text messages for people who do not use email. Things like our online service and study links, sign-ups, and polls would be helpful to send through texts.

Flocknote has been essential to our maintaining connection to our parish during the pandemic. We have been using it to send links to video Masses and even a weekly e-bulletin! We look forward to using it even more as our parish ministries and groups begin to open up.

I recommend Saint Andrews Presbyterian Church in Belleville Ontario

I love the ability to send emails and text messages to our parishioners. It makes it so easy and the ability to group them into seperate groups is awesome as well. I didn't have your team do my transfer of information from Parish Soft but did it myself. The only beef I had with that is it pulled the primary phone number and not the cell phone. I had to go back and look up and enter all the cell phone numbers. I get that this is generated from a phone number but it was confusing to our parisioners not knowing where the text was coming from. It would be nice if we had a way to rename the phone number. We have a large number of older folk who are not tech savy at all. Overall, I'm seeing many things I can do with this platform.
