Q: How does Text In Church handle duplicates?
Text In Church matches records based on phone number/email, not by name. A phone number and email can only be listed on one People record. If multiple records were allowed to share contact information in Text In Church, this would result in duplicate text messages and emails, which can easily lead to your TIC Phone Number or Emails being flagged as spam automatically, and we definitely don't want that to happen!
Q: I think there are duplicate People records in my account, how can I check?
While there are preventative systems to help prevent duplicate People Records in Text In Church, some accounts may still find duplicates from records created prior to updates made in 2020. To check for duplicates in your account, you can view the People section, expand the view, and then sort by the phone number or email column to review records with similar phone numbers and email addresses. Reach out to support@textinchurch.com for help troubleshooting duplicates; we're here for you!
