Now Available: Team Alerts
No, this isn’t an April Fools joke. In fact, this feature has been in the works for some time but hasn’t made it into production until now. Every planner now has a custom RSS feed that allows leaders and team members to track planner activity through their favorite feed reader. It is simple to get started:
Just click on the “Subscribe to Team Alerts” link from the menu on your planner. You will be given information about how to subscribe, in case you are new to RSS or feed readers. I’ve been trying out Blerts and they seem to be a nice Windows-based desktop feed reader. Here is a screenshot of what Blerts looks like when new Team Alerts are available for your planner:
Blerts also provides an option for viewing a summary of recent alerts:
Click on the image above to view an example of what kind of alerts you can receive. Of course, you can use any feed reader you like to keep track of your Team Alerts. I use Bloglines (click to see what it looks like).
Also, we are taking signups for our next round of beta testers. If you want to see if Church Director may be a fit for your church, fill out the (very short) beta test application form today!
