🎬 Watch the 30-second video: Communications: How members message the church

The Messages screen lets members stay in touch through church chat.

👉 Log in to your church’s member portal or the My Gracely app to follow along.

Members can:

① Search your chat rooms. ② Pick a room from the list. ③ Write your message here.

Some chat rooms are restricted to leaders and admins. In those rooms, regular members can read along but can't post — the message box says "You don't have permission to post here." This is set per room by your church, so a room used for announcements stays one-way while a group chat stays open to everyone.

A read-only room: ① it is marked Leaders only and ② the message box says “You don't have permission to post here.”

💡 Tip: When you open Messages, the first available room is selected automatically. Use the room list to switch between conversations.
