Text and email your people
Keep everyone in the loop by sending weekly or monthly updates. Send a text, record a video, or write an email. Your plan also comes with a registered A2P 10DLC number. This means you can mass text from a local number without paying any of the costs associated with wireless carriers.

Customer Review
Clearstream is easy, trackable, and highly effective, while increasing engagement and generating a quick response to links. Texting is simply part of a multi-channel approach to increase engagement and ultimately loyalty among our constituents. We should see this continue to result in more results in terms of the key drivers for our ministry: foster homes licensed, event attendees, and donations.

Start a texting campaign
Raise awareness for your cause by texting important dates, information, and calls to action over a period of days, weeks, or months. People can opt-in to your communication lists on their own, or you can manually add current donors and volunteers. Build out steps within your workflow to auto-send text menus, and use conditional branches to design unique user experiences.

Customer Review
To drive culture and maintain best practices, and be volunteer-intensive and faith-financed, we message snapshots via text and email. For events, we prompt people to text a keyword to register, or at fundraising events, we have people text a keyword and auto-reply with a giving link. When COVID hit, we had to do our event online, so Clearstream was great for texting updates and promoting a call to action to give.
