Messages that repeat
Every channel told the same news.
BoldBellowsMember communication for churches whose bulletin, emails and group chats overlap and repeat
Church member communication automation that reaches the right group once and respects each choice
Email, text, a mobile app and the printed bulletin all carry church news, and each channel has its own rules about who may be contacted and how often. BoldBellows notes the announcement, the audience and the channel each person chose before a message is scheduled, sends only to people who agreed to each channel, keeps pastoral details out of every message and holds a draft for a staff member to approve, then builds the route to fit your weekly rhythm: a staff member writes or pastes an announcement into one form, the route picks the audiences you defined such as families with children, the choir, small groups or the whole congregation, sends by the channel each person agreed to, adds a stop option on every text, drafts a short digest of the week for the bulletin, and keeps unsubscribes and bounces in the member record so they are honored next time. AI can help tidy the wording of a draft, and a staff member always approves before anything is sent. Prayer requests and care details are never part of these messages.

01the same-news-four-times problem
Everyone hears everything, so soon nobody listens
Church news travels the long way. The youth night is announced in the bulletin, on the group chat, in an email and from the pulpit, and the family who joined last month receives all of it plus messages meant for the choir. Some people want texts and some find them intrusive. A few asked to be removed from the list and are still on it. People stop reading messages that are not meant for them. Targeting and consent are what keep a congregation's attention.
Wrong audience
Lists were never grouped.
Texts to people who declined
Consent was not recorded.
The same congregation, with news that lands where it belongs
Before: duplicates found by hand
- Whatever Church sends, Message Log receives
- The same announcement is retyped for the bulletin, email and group chat
- A member who asked to be removed receives the next email
After: Message Log matches Church
- The announcement, the audience and the channel chosen ties the Message Log announcement to the Church event
- One approved announcement reaches each audience once
- An opt-out is recorded and respected on every channel
02how it works
How an announcement becomes the right message for the right group
Events are filtered, keyed, searched and then written, with a record at each stage.
- Receive, log, qualify. The event arrives from Church, is logged with its identifiers, and is qualified or set aside.
- Write, pick, approve. An announcement is written, an audience is picked and a staff member approves it.
- Send, record, digest. It is sent on each person's channel, outcomes are recorded and a digest is drafted.
The Church behaviors we designed around
- Texting needs consent. Text messages to members and donors generally need the recipient's agreement first, and a stop reply ends them, so each send checks the recorded consent.
- Consent is per channel. Someone may welcome email and refuse texts, so permission is stored for each channel and checked before every send.
- Handling timeouts. A timeout triggers a search of Message Log by the announcement, the audience and the channel chosen, not another create.
03The moving parts

Choose your route from Church to Message Log: a weekly bulletin, three group chats and an email list that has not been cleaned, zap or a church communication route with audiences, consent-aware channels and an approval step
Each can send a message. Only one targets by group, checks consent for every channel and keeps a person's approval in front of the send button.
| How news starts | A list and a chat | A mass mailing tool | Our communication route |
|---|---|---|---|
| What starts the work | Word of mouth in the team | Every delivery attempt | YesAn event admitted by rule, not by default |
| How identity is decided | A manual lookup each time | A field anyone can edit | YesAnnouncement, audience and channel chosen |
| What reaches Message Log | Anything that fits the form | A single-step write | YesAn approved message, a consented channel and a clean list |
| After an uncertain result | Discovered at month end | Tries again without checking | YesHolds the case with evidence for an owner |
Old news arrives after new
Each event carries its own time, and the route applies it only if it is newer than what Message Log already shows.
A member asks to stop all texts but keep emails
Text consent is removed from the record that day, email consent stays, and later sends use each setting separately. With the announcement, the audience and the channel chosen the route can say whether the work is missing, done, off, or unclear, and it says so in the log. Matching and differing records are handled separately; only a missing one is created.
Choosing the announcement, the audience and the channel chosen is step one; the field map and the branches are built on top of it.

06The process
Six steps from scattered announcements to one calm message flow
A short, repeatable process of six steps, ending in a launch review.
Read how news travels today
We read recent bulletins, emails and group chats and note who got what, on which channel.
Approve access
We ask for the least that works: a restricted Church login, restricted rights elsewhere, and agreement on how records match.
Agree audiences and sending rules
Groups, channels, sending limits, who approves and the wording of opt-out replies are written out and approved first.
Test what goes wrong
Duplicate deliveries, slow events, blank fields and denied permissions are run in a test copy of Message Log.
Launch with notes
The route is enabled from a fixed point in time and the PDF records every setting we chose.
Launch support
For a short period after launch we respond quickly to anything unexpected in the live route.
07Turnaround

08Before we start
Your part in the first week
Scoped Church access, approved by whoever administers it
Your member list or church management export, the email or text tool you use, and the staff member who approves announcements before they go out
Test records in Church for the acceptance runs
Names of the people who decide when a supporter update is valid
Your rule for what to do when Church and Message Log disagree
A decision on whether history should be loaded or only new events
09Security and ownership
A route that borrows access, never rewrites your tools
Reading is limited to the Church data on your approved list, and writing is limited to the targets you name for member communication.
Reversible by design
Because nothing inside Church or Message Log is modified, switching the route off returns both tools to how they were.
Scoped, revocable access
Keys stay in your accounts, and their scope is listed for your auditors.
A purpose for every field
Each mapped field has a reason recorded beside it, so a later review can tell why it was sent.
Find first, write second
The route finds the announcement through the announcement, the audience and the channel chosen before choosing between create, update and leave alone.
Minimal logging
You can inspect exactly what is logged, and it contains no customer text.
Full handover
Your administrators receive a document they can follow without a briefing.

11FAQ
Church communication automation: what pastors and staff ask
Quick answers, no sales language, and a route to ask more.
Does Church member communication need more than a trigger and an action?
To get announcements that reach the right people once, on the channel they asked for, a connector will do. To respect who agreed to what, send to the right group or stop duplicates, you need a designed route. Each of those is covered, tested and handed over in writing.
Who sees a message before it is sent?
A staff member you name approves each one, and nothing goes out without that step.
How does it know who agreed to texts?
Consent is stored per person and per channel, and a text is sent only where it is recorded.
What happens when someone replies STOP?
The text consent is removed from their record straight away.
Can AI write the announcements?
It can tidy a draft you wrote, and a person approves the final wording.
Can it keep prayer requests out of messages?
Yes, those fields are never read by the route, and messages contain only what the announcement form holds.
What if our email list is old?
A cleanup pass flags bounces and duplicates for a person before the first send.
Does the quote include a field list for Church member communication?
Every package includes a signed field map for Church member communication, so no field is moved that you have not seen.
Can I define what counts as urgent for member communication?
Yes. Describe how member communication should decide and we encode it; the opening price is $1,220.
Who is responsible if Church changes a rule?
Work after the review window is scoped afresh.
