    How do I send a text message or call another member from my Instant Church Directory App?


    While you cannot send mass text messages through the app to the entire congregation, you can send another member a personal text message from within the app.


    For iOS, press and hold on the phone number of the member you wish to text. This will allow you to either or call text that number.


    For Android devices, clicking the phone number normally will give you the option to either call or text message the number.


    This will act as a regular text message, so standard text messaging costs will apply.


    How do I email other members directly from the app?


    Sending emails through the app is easy. First, open the app and click on ‘Families’ and select the family you wish to email. Click on the email address it will open a new email using your phone's default email program to that address.


    If you press and hold either the email address or phone number, it will simply copy the email address/phone number to the clipboard on your phone.
