ConnextFor congregations
Keep your community gathered and informed
Send service and event reminders by text, collect RSVPs by text or call, and design email newsletters — all in one inbox, with a dedicated number for calls and texts.
Announcements only reach the people already in the room
A bulletin insert or a mention from the pulpit misses everyone who wasn't there. Members want timely reminders and an easy way to reply, and your volunteers are stitching it together across too many tools.
- Event reminders buried in email nobody opens
- No simple way to collect a headcount or RSVP
- Newsletters that look plain and go unread
- Older members left out by app-only tools
One home for every congregation message
Text and call your community from a single dedicated number, with email in the same unified inbox.
Event & schedule reminders
Schedule service, class, and holiday reminders in advance and let recurring sends handle the weekly rhythm.
RSVPs by text or call
Run polls and surveys over SMS, voice, or email to collect a headcount, then export the responses to CSV.
Email newsletters
Design polished newsletters with a drag-and-drop builder and nine starter templates — no designer required.
Every reply in one thread
When a member texts back, calls, or emails, it all lands in one unified inbox. Your team can reply from the portal or their own phone without missing a message.
Questions, answered
What is the best text messaging service for synagogues and churches?
The right fit reaches every member, not just the tech-savvy ones. Connext combines text and voice calls on one number, with email newsletters in the same inbox, so reminders and events reach your whole congregation.
Can members RSVP to events by text?
Yes. Connext includes six kinds of polls and surveys delivered over SMS, voice, or email. Members can reply on their own channel and you can export the results anytime.
Can I send an email newsletter too?
You can. Connext has a drag-and-drop HTML email builder with nine templates and dynamic fields, so your newsletters look great and send from the same place as your texts and calls.
