Is your church texting yet? If not they should be! In addition to emails, text messaging is the most effective way to reach your Spanish-speaking parishioners who are less likely to have home or desktop internet access. Texts and emails are much more effective at reaching your members than an app, a paper bulletin, or social media.
All plans include:

Yes, Flocknote’s note composers (both email and text) support most languages, including those that are heavy in symbols. As long as you can type it, you can send it.
As it turns out, language is a complex thing and it’s hard (even for computers) to auto-translate well. For this reason, the English notes you write will need to be translated on your end to Spanish. We recommend selecting a bilingual person at your church or on staff who can translate the notes for you accurately.
No, there is no need to set up two different networks for the same church, even if members speak different languages.
The process for joining is exactly the same as for English-speaking members, but Spanish-speaking members will want to text a different number: 202-765-3441. Using this number ensures some of the automated return prompts, links at the bottom of all notes, and general navigations on the site are in Spanish. This does not auto-translate the notes you write in English and you’ll need to do that manually.
Please note: While all the English keywords will still work with this number, you can also set up a specific group for Spanish communication and assign a specific keyword for this group. This way, you capture all those members in one group to know who to send Spanish content to. For more info on the text-to-join process as a whole, check out the articles at the bottom of the page.
This setting would change some of the automated return prompts, links at the bottom of all notes, and general navigations on the site to Spanish. This does not auto-translate the notes you write in English and you’ll need to do that manually.
