What is ManyChat and how do I sign up?

ManyChat is a tool that makes sure people receive a quick response when they submit a prayer request. When someone shares something vulnerable with your church, they may start second guessing it or feeling insecure about the prayer request they shared. ManyChat runs in the background to make sure they feel seen, noticed, and loved right away.

Why not just link to the Plan Your Visit page on the church website?

Another reason we use ManyChat is because we always want to keep the conversation on the platform they first engaged us on. So in the case of Prayer Ads, it would be Facebook Messenger! If we try to get them to go to your website, they’re likely to stop engaging with the conversation - because they just reached out for Prayer, not to learn about the church. Keeping it on Facebook Messenger makes it feel like a relationship, instead of self-promotion!
