Prayer Request Comment Digest

The importance of prayer and the impact it has can’t be overstated. In times of trouble, it helps just simply knowing that people are out there praying for you. Using the Send Prayer Comments job, you can ensure that those who submit prayer requests will know that they have the power of prayer behind them.

Setting up the Job

As the prayer team comments on requests, you can enable a job to send those comments to the originator. The job is included in your Rock installation but will need to be configured. Below is an example setup:

  1. Job Type - For this job, you’ll want to select “Send Prayer Comments” as pictured above. Once selected, additional fields will appear.
  2. System Communication - The “Prayer Request Comments Digest” system communication template is ready for you to use out of the box.
  3. Prayer Categories - You can choose to send these communications for only specific categories. Or you can leave this field blank to send for any category.
  4. Include Child Categories - Select “Yes” to send communications for prayer requests associated with a child prayer category. Select “No” to only send communications for requests associated with main/parent categories.
  5. Save Communications - Indicate whether the email should be saved to the system. If you select “No” then the communication will still be sent but won’t be saved.

For general instructions on setting up jobs, be sure to review the Admin Hero Guide.

To send communications for all prayer requests, regardless of category information, leave the Prayer Categories field blank and select “Yes” for Include Child Categories. Those settings should only be changed if there are categories for which you don’t want to send communications.

The job will only send communications for prayer requests where Allow Comments has been enabled. Requests where Allow Comments isn’t enabled will be ignored.
