Integrations

Your church's tools, working together

Send announcements from your church's own email account, and pass announcements and what happens in your church (new visitors, members, prayer requests, registrations) on to the tools you already use: Zapier, Make, n8n, ntfy, Telegram or your own system.

When the message has to go further than email

Emails from an address nobody knows

Announcements arrive from a generic address, and replies don't reach the church office.

The congregation lives on WhatsApp

Many people read WhatsApp or Telegram long before they open their email.

The same message typed five times

Email, chat groups, a spreadsheet: someone copies and pastes the same announcement everywhere.

How HolyCRM helps

Connect once, send everywhere

1Email

Send from your church's own address

Connect the email account you already use: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Mailgun, SendGrid, Amazon SES, Brevo and others. Announcements go out from your address, with no HolyCRM monthly limit.

  • Send a test before you turn it on
  • Your password is stored encrypted
2Automations

Pass on announcements and what happens

Add up to five webhooks and choose what each one receives: announcements, new visitors, new members, prayer requests (never the request itself), event registrations and serving answers. Your Zapier, Make or n8n flow takes it from there: WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS or a spreadsheet.

  • Each delivery is signed, so your flow knows it came from HolyCRM
  • Custom formats for ntfy, Telegram and more
3Peace of mind

You stay in control

Only administrators can connect anything. Every change needs a new test before it's used, and each announcement shows whether the email and the webhook got through.

  • Plain-language messages when something fails
  • Turn it off or remove it any time

Questions

Questions about integrations

Which email providers work?

Any that lets you send by SMTP: Google Workspace and Gmail (with an app password), Microsoft 365, Mailgun, SendGrid, Amazon SES, Brevo and most others. Whoever looks after your church's email can find the settings.

Can HolyCRM send WhatsApp messages?

Not directly. With a webhook, each announcement goes to your automation tool (Zapier, Make, n8n), which can send it through WhatsApp, Telegram or SMS with the provider you choose. Any cost from those providers is between you and them.

Is my members' information safe?

Only administrators can connect a webhook, and HolyCRM asks before turning it on, because deliveries include names, emails and phones. Children are never included, prayer requests never include what was asked, and notes, addresses and birthdates are never sent. Email passwords and signing secrets are stored encrypted.

Do I need a developer?

Not for your own email: you only need your provider's settings. Tools like Zapier, Make or n8n need no code either. Developers can also write a custom format (for ntfy, Telegram or their own system) and check each delivery's signature.

Is it included in the free plan?

Integrations are part of the full app: US$30 a month or US$300 a year per church, everything included. You can try it free for 30 days, no card.
