Customer Review
"Clearstream is a force multiplier with our database functions. Managing the hundreds of volunteers and numerous guests we have is made simple through Clearstream."
- Kyle K.
Platform
We have a killer product team that works hard to create user-friendly software that's easy on the eyes and works as it should. It's not clunky, there's no cluttered navigation or bloated features, and we're always pushing updates.
Support
We consider support a part of the product we provide. Every Clearstream plan comes with live chat, video tutorials, articles, Zoom calls, and an occasional gift box in the mail. We're available every day, year-round, and our average response time is 3 minutes.
Integrations
Because we're built for churches, we also integrate directly with your church management software. If you have a Planning Center, Rock RMS, or CCB/Pushpay account, you can sync over existing lists, automatically create new contacts, and optionally add someone to a workflow or group, and more!
And with our add-on in Planning Center, you can text using Clearstream without leaving Planning Center!
Metrics and Reporting
You can see transparent metrics in real-time, like how fast your message is sending, opt-ins, opt-outs, incoming replies, and even failed messages.
If you want a snapshot of how your account is doing, you can download a Weekly Report that shows activity and growth from the previous week. To see in-depth information about keyword usage, message history, or which auto-replies are sent within a workflow, download Activity Tables.
