Prayer Alerts by Text Message

When a community member is ill, every moment of prayer matters. Text messaging ensures that no one is left out — the moment a name is added, updated, or taken off the list, your entire community knows and can daven together.

Reviewer-Accessible Opt-In Flow

SMS Opt-In Flow — Visual Walkthrough

This is the exact opt-in interface members see inside their account profile. The flow uses double opt-in: users enter their number, receive a verification code via SMS, and must reply with that code to confirm consent.

SMS Notifications

Enter your mobile number to receive prayer list reminders and urgent alerts via text. You'll need to confirm via a verification code — standard message rates may apply.

  • Health status update reminders (avg 2–5 messages/week)
  • Expiry and renewal notifications
  • New prayer request alerts

Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. I can opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message. See our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions.

↑ Checkbox must be checked to proceed (active consent required)

Opt-In Compliance

  • Consent checkbox is unchecked by default — user must actively check it
  • Double opt-in: SMS verification code must be replied with to confirm
  • Clear disclosure of message types and frequency before consent
  • Privacy Policy and Terms links shown in the opt-in flow

Opt-Out & Help

  • Users can opt out anytime by replying STOP to any message
  • Opt-out keywords: STOP, STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, QUIT, OPTOUT, REVOKE
  • Users can text HELP or INFO for assistance
  • In-app opt-out button also available on the profile page

How It Works

Getting set up takes less than a minute. Your privacy and consent are protected every step of the way.

1

Add Your Number

Enter your mobile number in your profile. We'll never share it — it's used only for prayer list notifications.

2

Confirm with a Code

You'll receive a 6-digit verification code by text. Reply with the code to confirm — this double opt-in protects you and complies with carrier regulations.

3

You're Opted In

Once confirmed, you'll receive real-time prayer list alerts. You can opt out at any time by replying STOP.

4

Stay in the Loop

Get notified when names are added, updated, or removed. Never miss a name that needs your tefillot.

Why It Matters

A Community That Prays Together, Together

A prayer list is only as powerful as its reach. Text messaging transforms a static list into a living, breathing community effort — where every member is informed, engaged, and praying with intention.

Instant Awareness

The moment a name is added to the prayer list, your community is notified. No waiting for the next service, no forgotten names. Everyone knows — immediately.

Time-Sensitive Updates

When a health update comes in — an improvement, a setback, or a new development — text alerts make sure the community's prayers reflect the current reality, right now.

Whole Community Together

Not everyone checks email. Not everyone is at services. But everyone has their phone. Text messaging reaches every member, ensuring the entire community is praying with the same, up-to-date list.

No One Forgotten

When a name is taken off the list — whether because of a recovery or, God forbid, otherwise — the community is notified so prayers can be directed where they're needed most.

Reminders That Matter

Entries approaching expiration trigger reminders to the submitter: is this person still in need of prayer? The list stays current and no name lingers past its time.

You're Always in Control

Double opt-in means you explicitly confirm before receiving anything. Reply STOP at any time to opt out — instantly, no questions asked. Your number is never shared with third parties.
