What is Twexting™?

Twitter + Text = Twext™

Twexting™ allows Group Leaders to communicate with their Group in two different but connected ways. First, for those group members whose communication settings allow, a text message will be sent to the mobile number listed. Second, if a Twitter account has been connected to the Group, a status update will post to the Twitter page. The following sections will show you how to connect your Group to a Twitter page, how an individual may update their communication settings to allow text messages, and how to send a Twext™.

Warning: A Twext™ message never accepts replies. It is only a one-way communication.
 

Who can Send a Twext™?

  • Group Leaders, Coaches, and Directors can send Twexts™ for their Groups.
    • Coaches and Directors are available with Deluxe version.
  • Master Administrator for any Group.
Privilege Restriction: Full Group Admins and Department Admins cannot send a Twext™ for Groups without being a Group Leader, Coach or Director.
 

Sending a Twext™

  1. Open a group you want to send a Twext™ from.
  2. Click the Group Actions menu.
  3. Then select Send a Twext™.

 
Warning: A Twext™ is only 140 characters long. While you may be able to paste in more characters, they won’t send consistently or at all depending on the carrier.
 
Tip: If you want to send a link in a Twext™, use a URL Shortener to help send it consistently to all carriers.
 

Twext™ Communication

Twexting™ from the software should be viewed as a broadcast (one directional) message rather than a conversational or bi-directional message. It’s intended to quickly reach people who would read a text message before they would check their email inbox. Each mobile carrier handles texting differently. As such, in a scenario like this one, a person cannot reply to a text as it will not reach the sender. Nor can a person use that number to initiate a text.

Connection Scenarios

There are four possible scenarios, depending on what is connected.

Twitter Connection Disabled/No one signed up for Text Messages

If you have not yet connected a Twitter account to this Group AND no Group members have changed their communication settings to receive text messages from the Group, the Send a Twext™ window will look like this:

Because there is no outlet for these messages, no communication will be sent if Send Now is clicked.

Twitter Connection Enabled/None signed up for Text Messages

If you connect your Group to Twitter, but there is no one in the Group signed up to receive text messages, your Twext™ will post as a status update to Twitter, but it will not be sent as a text message directly to anyone. The Twext™ window will look like this:

 
Note: Anyone who follows this Twitter account and has their Twitter settings enabled to receive a text message with new tweets will still receive a text message, but it will come from Twitter directly, not through Church Community Builder.
 
Twitter Connection Disabled/One or more signed up for Text Messages

In this scenario, you have not connected your Group to a Twitter account, but people have turned on text messaging in their Communication Settings.

The number of people who will receive the text message will be visible. Clicking Send Now will send the Twext™ as a text message but will not post an update to a Twitter account.

Twitter Connection Enabled/One or more signed up for Text Messages

This scenario combines the benefits of Twitter and text messaging to communicate to your Group. Those who wish to receive an email instead of a text message can indicate so in Twitter and do not have to adjust their communication settings to allow text messages. Those who prefer not to use Twitter can receive a text message through Church Community Builder, and those who would prefer to view the Twext™ within the Group can do so too.

When you click Send Now, the Twitter feed will be updated and a text message will go out to anyone who’s chosen to receive them.

Connecting to your Twitter Account

You may use any Twitter account to connect to your group in Church Community Builder. You will need to know the login and password for the Twitter account. Multiple groups may use the same Twitter account, or you can connect a separate Twitter account to each Group in your software.

Privilege Restriction: The General Settings area is editable by Group and Department Admins, the Master Administrator, and Group Leaders with appropriate privileges for their Groups.
 
  1. Open a group you want to send a Twext™ from.
  2. Click the Group Actions menu.
  3. Select Edit group settings.
  4. On the General tab, scroll to the Twitter Connection section.
  5. Click the Connect button.

  1. Type your username and password.

  1. Click Allow to connect the Twitter account to your Group.

Change or Delete Twitter Connection

  1. Open the Group you want to work with.
  2. Click the Groups Actions menu and select Edit group settings.
  3. On the General tab, scroll to the Twitter Connection section.
  4. Click Disconnect to remove the connection to the Twitter account.

  1. If you are wanting to change your Twitter account, once the old one is removed, just click the Connect button to connect to the new account.

Texting Communication Settings

The communication setting for Twexting™ is set to the Group’s settings by default. Each person can determine if they want to receive text messages and from which Groups. Because of the possible cost associated with receiving text messages, it is important Group leaders and administrators who can access the communication settings page for other people do not make changes to this option.

  1. Log into the site and search for individual to change settings.
  2. Click the Action button.
  3. Select Communication Settings.
  4. In the Send me text messages from group leaders column, select your carrier from the pulldown menu and verify or add your mobile number.
  5. Select the Groups from which you wish to receive text messages.
    • You may also choose whether to receive text messages from new Groups you join or are added to in the Future Group Defaults section.

      • If changing the repeating pattern: This date & all future dates.
      • If changing location info: This date & all future dates.
      • If only the date is changed, then you will be able to apply the change only to that occurrence. If the time is changed, you should be able to select just that occurrence or the future occurrences option.
      Note: These options are designed to keep your historical data intact.

      Event Tabs

      The Event detail page has the name of the Event at the tab along with several tabs of information across the middle. Use the Event Actions menu at the top right and select Edit Event to change any of the settings of the current Event.

      Preview Tab

      The Preview tab lets you see what the Event will look like to a basic user. If a person opens this Event either from within Church Community Builder or from without, this is how the information for the Event will be displayed. Take advantage of the preview to make sure your Event looks and gives the information you want to share with people.

      Guest List

      The Guest List on the Event Preview page is not meant to be an admin tool. It is meant to be what everyone can see. When an admin looks at it, they are seeing exactly what a congregant with no privileges will see. The parenthetical number is accurate for the total number in that category (yes, no, maybe, no response). The name list will hide unlisted, inactive, and age protected Profiles. Under the Guest List tab the parenthetical number will be the same as what is in the Preview. The name list will populate based in the current user’s privilege set. For example, the MA will see everyone. A Group leader with no other privileges will not see inactives, potentially not see age protected, and maybe not unlisted.

      Rooms & Resources

      Only Events set as ‘Rooms & Resources needed’ will have the ability to request Rooms & Resources. Check out this article for more information on creating and requesting Rooms and Resources.

      Guest List

      The Guest List tab allows you to both invite people to your Event and manage that guest list. Check out this article to learn more about inviting people to Events.

      Tip: If this section is greyed out, the Event has not been approved and you cannot invite people until it has been approved.

      Attendance

      The Attendance settings can be adjusted by clicking the Attendance tab.

      • Attendance Grouping: In order to take attendance you must select an attendance grouping. If none are available, you will need to set them up in the Group Settings in the Admin tab.
      • Attendee Limit: This limits the number of people who can sign up for an Event.
      • Attendance Reminder: This option will send an automated attendance reminder by email to the leaders of the Group. The first will come 1 hour before the Event in order to take attendance during the Event. It will also send up to 3 reminders (1 a day) after the Event if no attendance has been taken.
      • Attendance Only: The purpose of attendance only Events is to declutter a Group’s Calendar. Checking this box will make the Event INVISIBLE on all Calendar views, except the ‘All Events Admin’ Calendar.
      • Record Attendance: This button will only appear if the Event has an attendance grouping AND the Event is in the past
      • Event Summary: This will display any Event summary if recorded for that Event

      Check-In

      The Check-In settings can be adjusted by clicking the Check-In tab.

      • Attendance Grouping: The only setting required for the Event to be available for Check-In, choose from the list of groupings. If there are no groupings listed, then you need to edit the Group and select Attendance Groupings from the Admin tab.
      • Room Name: (Deluxe version only) The room name will replace the name of the Event on the check-in label. It is currently only displayed on the check-in label.
      • Child : Adult Ratio: (Deluxe version only) – Allows you to limit who can check into a room based on the number of adults in the room. In order to utilize this feature, the adult volunteers must be leaders of that Group. They must also check into the Event for the system to know how many adults are in the room.
      • Attendee Limit: If a number is entered, the Check-In system will not allow people to be checked into that room once the limit is reached.
      • Label Type: select the kind of labels you want to print for this Event. This will override the Check-In station default.

      Publish

      This tab gives you the status of how the Event is currently being published, along with links to request additional publication.

      • Group Calendar: Any Event with Rooms & Resources Needed will not be visible to the Group until the Event is approved, otherwise, this is the default visibility of all Events.
      • Public Calendar: If there is a link here, the Event organizer can request the Event be placed on the public Calendar. To unpublish the Event from Calendar re-clicking this link will unpublish the Event.
      • Church-wide/Campus-wide Calendar: If there is a link here, the Event organizer can request the Event be placed on the church-wide/campus-wide Calendar.
      • Download Event: The Download Event button to the right allows you to download an ical version of the Event to manually add the Event to a Calendar outside of the system.
      Tip: Still have questions, check out the FAQs for Events.

  • Estimated Attendance: Is important to verify room occupancies, and to select alternate rooms in the case of a scheduling conflict.
  • Rooms: Are reserved by clicking the Rooms tab, selecting the desired room from the menu, and then dragging it to the Rooms box. There will be an additional option to provide setup details for each room when it is selected.

Needs (CCC)

Needs are a feature within Groups and are hosted by one specific Group. Needs allow Group Members to put out requests that they have where someone else in the Group or the public could fulfill. Whether it be caring for a member who just had a baby, doing a neighborhood cleanup, or bringing items for a Group party, Needs have endless possibilities.

A Need

Here are examples of using Needs:

  • Lopez Small Group has a Need just for their Group to bring meals for the family in their Group that just had a baby.
  • Church-Wide Needs Group is used to host a Need for a church-wide campaign to fill items for backpacks for back to school and they’ve made it a Public Need to promote via the church’s website.
  • Thursday Morning Bible Study is doing community service project and has a Need for the different items needed.
  • The Care Ministry has a Need to take a member to dialysis care for the next month.

Who can Create Needs?

  • Need Admin Privilege: Can create, edit and remove any Need across the Campus they are assigned.
  • Group Leader/Assistant Group Leader: Can create, edit and remove a Need in their Group if a Group admin activates these privileges.
  • Group Member: If settings in a Group are activated for Group members, a Group member can create, edit and delete a Need for that Group.
  • Need Coordinator: Whoever is the creator of the Need is made the Need Coordinator, however, the creator can change the coordinator to anyone in that Group.
  • Group Admin: Department Admins / Coaches / Directors can create, edit and remove Needs in the Groups they oversee.

Who can View Needs?

Who can see a Need is determined by the Group’s Membership Type setting.

  • Groups that are “Open to All”: These Groups allow for all people in your church to find the Group, see the Need, and take an item.
  • Groups that are “Invitation or Request Required”: These Groups do not allow people outside of the Group to see the Needs within the Group. Thus people outside the Group cannot take an item without being informed.
  • Group Members and Leaders, regardless of Membership Type: Group members in Announce Only Groups or Members Interact Groups can view a Need in the Group when they log into the software or are informed of the Need.

If a Need should be available to everyone, you can use the Public List feature to add the Need to your Public Needs List. Check out this article for more details.
