How do I get people to use GroupFinder? What is the email reminder feature?
Once you have the tool set up, have a training session with your group leaders on how to use it to keep their information up to date and for reporting. For a printable and reproducable guideline for leaders click here. Make the password available for members in your church bulletin and newsletters, and encourage its use at every opportunity. When the email reminder feature is turned on: (1) by the administrator (Customization Features – Email Reminder Options – top 2 (or3) boxes checked), (2) for each applicable group (Group Information Page – Update Group Information), and (3) “yes” for meeting reports is clicked beside the leader (or another members) on the group’s info page; then Groupfinder will automatically send up to 3 email reminders over the next several days to group leaders asking them to fill out a meeting report and providing quick links to assist them in this. A 4th email reminder if necessary is emailed to the leader’s coach.
