Base User #

A Base User is the catch-all account for orphaned contacts and other records to be assigned to. When contacts are created, for example, via the webform integration, the contacts will be assigned to the Base User by default. To be a Base User, the user must be an Administrator, Dispatcher, Multiplier, Digital Responder, or Strategist.

Email Settings #

When your Disciple.Tools instance sends out system emails to users, such as “Update on Contact #231” it will include the same beginning subject line for every email. This is so your users will be able to quickly recognize what kind of email it is.

In this example, the chosen beginning subject line is “D.T CRM”. If you work in a security concerning region, consider using a phrase that would not cause your work issues due to email subject lines not being encrypted.

System Email Subject Line


Site Notifications #

Users can change their Site Notifications within their personal Profile Settings, but you have the ability to override this here. The boxes that are checked represent types of notifications that every Disciple.Tools user will be required to receive via Email and/or Web (the notification bell Notification Bell) . Unchecked boxes mean that the individual user will have the choice whether they want to receive that type of notification or not.

Types of Site Notifications:

  • Newly Assigned Contact
  • @Mentions
  • New comments
  • Update Needed
  • Contact Info Changed
  • Contact Milestones and Group Health Metrics

Update Needed Triggers #

In order to prevent seekers from falling through the cracks, Disciple.Tools will notify users when Contact Records and Group Records need updating.

Contacts

You can edit the frequency (by number of days) that this message will automatically be triggered in relation to where a contact is on their Seeker Path (e.g. First Meeting Complete). You an also change the comment that will appear in the message. Be sure to click Save to apply the change.

For example, a user has completed a first meeting with a contact and notes that within the Contact Record. If the user doesn’t update this record after the chosen number of days, then the user will receive an alert within the Contact Record. Also, this Contact Record will be listed in the Filters section under Update Needed. This will help Multipliers prioritize their contacts and provide a sense of accountability. The Dispatcher or the DT Admin can oversee the accountability piece to make sure that Multipliers are updating their Contact Records to the agreed upon time frame.

An update constitutes as any change to the Contact Record that would be recorded in the Comment/Activity Tile.

Be sure to click the box Update needed triggers enabled if you want users to receive this alert message.

Groups

You can edit the frequency (by number of days) that this message will automatically be triggered since the last time a Group Record was updated. You an also change the comment that will appear in the message.

An update constitutes as any change to the Group Record that would be recorded in the Comment/Activity Tile.

Be sure to click the box Update needed triggers enabled if you want users to receive this alert message.
