Install the Clearstream plugin for the best texting experience in Rock RMS
If you want to send texts inside of Rock, just install the Clearstream Rock Plugin, available in the Rock Shop. Our plugin is a drop-in replacement for Twilio and allows you to send texts in Rock using your Clearstream numbers.
Once installed, you can use all of Rock's built-in SMS capabilities, including SMS Pipelines, SMS Conversations, Communications, etc.
Text your Communication Lists, Groups, and Data Views
If you integrate with Rock through the Clearstream platform, then you can sync your Rock Communication Lists, Groups, and Data Views into Clearstream and text them.
Lists automatically sync every night to ensure everything is up-to-date. Any changes made in Rock will be reflected in Clearstream.
Create new profiles in Rock RMS when people text in
When first-time guests text a keyword or enter an automated workflow, you can auto-reply with a digital connect card. That information is pushed to Rock and a person is created in your Rock database, and optionally pushed to a Rock Group or Workflow.
But don't worry about duplicates; if the phone number already exists in Rock, we won't create a new person.
Retrieve profile data from Rock RMS automatically
When someone new texts in to your Clearstream account, we'll search your Rock database for a matching person based on their phone number. If a match is found, we'll sync their profile data into Clearstream immediately.
Send conditional texts based on campus
If your church has multiple campuses, you can create a single keyword anyone can text and they will receive texts specific to the campus associated with their profile in your Rock database.
