A typical week

Three natural moments. That's usually enough.

Most churches fall into a rhythm of a midweek reminder, a weekend preview, and occasional event-specific sends.

  • Wednesday

    Midweek service reminder

    Members get a short reminder the morning of midweek service with location and start time.

  • Saturday

    Sunday preview

    Sermon topic and guest speaker for tomorrow, plus any change to service times.

  • Sunday

    Evening follow-up (selective)

    Prayer point for the week, announcement about small-group meetings, or event sign-ups.

Seasonal peaks

The weeks when sending quadruples.

Every church we've spoken to has the same pattern — a handful of windows per year where volume jumps, then returns to baseline. Funding your wallet ahead of these matters.

  • Easter week

    Good Friday, Saturday vigil, Easter Sunday service times, plus capacity notes when extra seats open.

  • Annual convention

    Nightly session reminders, offering day, guest-speaker changes, visitor pickup logistics.

  • Christmas season

    Carol service, midnight mass, Boxing Day changes. Often two or three sends per day for a week.

  • Crusades & retreats

    Registration open, transport pickup points, last-mile reminders on day-of.

A convention week can easily send 5,000+ messages. We recommend topping up your wallet at least a week before the first session so the first reminder doesn't hit an empty balance.
