Pros

“It has allowed us to simplify our systems and unify them into a single communication platform for both E-Mail, Text, and Tap Tags.”

Tyler D.

Creative Director

“I wish I had the option to hold an automated workflow until someone filled out a PCO form, or entered a certain step in a PCO workflow, and then continue them on from there.”

Tyler D.

Creative Director

“Things we like most about Clearstream is the customer service, user friendly platform, & seeing where each subscriber belongs to in a workflow, list, or tag.”

Abril B.

Assimilation Department Director

Pros

“We are tracking Safe Environment compliance in MP; eliminating a separate database previously used to do that.”

Celeste D.

C.T.O.

“It is the most flexible system we have found, and gives us the ability to accommodate the various creative ideas our staff and ministry leaders dream up. Despite the flexibility, the interface is the same for every record type, so once you understand how it works on one page in the back-end, that translates to every other page of the app. ”

Christopher A.

IT Director

“Integrations: This software has many out of the box integrations with other packages from mail services, to background check systems, and has a full REST API for custom integrations that many have done or are doing (a few I've seen or used are digital signage, church app integrations with several app companies and authentication for Church Online Platform).”

Joshua S.

Director of Technology

Cons

“The biggest is not being able to edit their digital connect card, and also not being able to edit sign-up forms to make them match brand customization.”

Tyler D.

Creative Director

“By only allowing subaccounts to exist with unique phone numbers, we are concerned about overwhelming our congregation with options. But by having all of our staff/leaders use our main account for their communications, we're concerned about muddying what should be a very simple communication system.”

Reagan D.

Communications Coordinator

“I also don't love that the emojis add a disproportionate amount of credits.”

Audrey H.

Administrative Assistant

Cons

“Some of the navigation is a little clunky.”
