Group Chat in the App

Groups + Chat in the App has now been released for iOS and Android!

Using the Group Chat feature in Tithe.ly Church Apps

Chat is a feature built into Groups within the Tithe.ly Church App. Before you can start using Chat you must activate Groups. Learn more about setting up your Groups within Tithe.ly People and adding Groups to your App, then proceed to Step One below.

STEP ONE: ADMIN

Enable Chat in the App for Groups

• In order to properly set up Group Chat, the Admin has to go into the Apps Dashboard and move the Groups tab up into either the MORE TABS or MAIN TABS section so it is visible in the App.
• After you've created your Groups in Tithe.ly People
• Turn on 'Show in App'
• Turn on 'Chat in App'
• Add Group details: location, time, frequency, etc

NOTE: The Group Type determines what data will display within the App. If you would like location, time and frequency displayed, those items must be turned on within the Group Type.  Learn more about setting up your Groups within Tithe.ly People.
