Work With Flagged Requests

Because requests are entered by any member of the general public, you could find some instances where a request is considered poorly worded. Possibly someone entered a full name of a missionary in a hostile country, revealing their identity and endangering their life. Maybe there are details in a request that suggest suicide or abuse and an authority should be notified.

To help communicate these concerns between a prayer team and an administrator, we've developed a flagging system. This is especially helpful when requests are configured to auto-approve rather than having an administrator approve each one first. If flagging is enabled, members of the prayer team can flag any request that might be inappropriate or may need administrative review. Once a request is flagged by one person, it is immediately unapproved and no longer visible to the prayer team. This one-person limit is customizable. You could increase the threshold to two or three or another number that makes sense to your specific ministry by editing the prayer session block settings on the external website under Connect > Prayer > Prayer Team.

The administrator will see this request when sorting by flagged or unapproved requests, and can edit, delete or re-approve at that time.
