Prayer Request Routing System
A done-for-you church and ministry automation built for the Pastoral Care Coordinator, connecting Jotform and Slack so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
When a prayer request is submitted online, this automation automatically routes it to the appropriate prayer team or pastor based on the category selected, health, family, urgent, while keeping sensitive requests private and entirely separate from any request shared on a public prayer list.
Urgent requests reach a pastor within minutes instead of sitting in a shared inbox alongside routine church business.
- Planning Center or a form tool (Jotform)
- Zapier or Make.com
- Slack or email
Using different software? We build around what you already have, so you never have to switch tools to automate.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Done manually, a pastoral care coordinator has to remember to follow up on every case individually, often relying on memory, phone calls, and whatever notes didn't get lost. Over a month, those small manual steps add up to a significant amount of lost time.
With this automation
- Status updates triggered by real milestones in your systems
- Support requests routed to the right owner with full context
- Escalations when a response deadline is about to slip
- Fewer inbound status calls for your front desk
