We've created this quick tutorial to help you set up Text to Give using your PCO giving link!
Easy Button
Click the Easy Button above to begin setting up your PCO Text to Give Group.
You’ll then be prompted to paste your Planning Center Giving link.
Copy your PCO giving link from your Planning Center account.
Paste it into the prompt.
Click "Import Group".
Edit Keyword:
You’ll see a default keyword "give" already attached to the group.
You can edit the keyword to something more custom (e.g., “donate” or “offering”).
This is the word your donors will text to trigger the giving message.

Next, you'll see an automated text workflow already in place:
When someone texts the keyword, they instantly receive a message like:
"Thank you so much for your generosity. Click here to give."
The message includes your PCO giving link.
You can customize this message to add additional info if needed.
Activate your Workflow:
Click "Activate Workflow" to turn on the automation.
Now, anyone who texts the keyword will get the donation link instantly.
