Sending Email to Members

**Only admins or group admins can send emails from iServe’s online application.**

Admins can send Emails from iServe to members. This can help foster communication between the leaders and members of the congregation so they can get announcements, upcoming events, or other important updates.

IMPORTANT: Emails can be received by members who have an email address saved to their profiles. If a member does not have an email address associated or saved in iServe, they will no receive the email.

Step 1. Log in to admin account on online app at http://[connect code].iserve.church

Step 2. Click on “Communication” on main menu.

Step 3. Select “Email” as the type of communication. (Note: Selecting “Email” will only send an email to members with an email address on their account. It will not create a push notification and will not post in iServe as an announcement. In order to do that, that form of communication must be selected separately.)
