What it is
Member Signup lets church admins invite people to join the church as members using shareable join links, QR codes, or a short church code. Pending applications can be reviewed and approved from the dashboard.
Where to find it
- Dashboard → Settings → Member Signup (
/dashboard/settings/member-signup) - Applications:
/dashboard/members/applications
Step-by-step workflow
Join links and codes
- Open Member Signup settings — Go to Dashboard → Settings and select the Member Signup tab.
- Create a join link — Generate a unique invite link (with optional QR code) to share via email, text, or print.
- View church code — Your church has a short alphanumeric church code (6–8 characters, e.g.
SF8K2P) members can enter in the member portal or use in check-in links. Public URLs accept the church code or your legacy slug. - Revoke or regenerate — If a link is compromised, revoke it and create a new one.
Member applications
- Open Applications — Go to Dashboard → Member Applications.
- Review pending — See members who have requested to join or completed a join link flow.
- Approve or reject — Approve applications to mark people as members, or reject with an optional note.
Member portal flow
- A person checks in first (creating their profile) or uses a join link.
- They visit
/member/login?church={slug}and sign in with their phone or email. - They receive a personal QR code for quick future check-ins.
- An admin approves their member status from People or Applications.
Tips & common issues
- Check-in first — New people must check in (or use a join link) before they can access the member portal. This ensures every member has a profile.
- Manual member flag — Even without formal approval, guests can use the member portal. The member flag is for reporting and segmentation.
- Church code on Sunday — Display your church code on screens or bulletins so regular attendees can self-associate with your church.
