Adding custom links to the My ChurchSuite menu

Keeping content fresh, relevant and up-to-date will help maximise member engagement with My ChurchSuite. A great feature of My ChurchSuite and a fantastic engagement opportunity is to add your custom Links to the menu navigation.

For example, you might add Links to your website or social media pages, links to a shared online file store containing leader or small group resources or children's ministry curriculum, or links to your weekend service live stream or YouTube channel. The list of external links you might add is limited only by your imagination!

This functionality becomes exciting when you use the link visibility restrictions based on Tags, meaning that you can deliver highly personal links to each member based on the tags they belong to. For example, could you make leader resources available as a link to those in a 'Leader' tag or offer newcomer resources via a link to those in the 'Newcomer' tag?

My ChurchSuite links help members access everything they need in one place, which is one reason they'll keep coming back!

Here's how to add Links

Navigate into the Profile section of your Account Settings and click on the My ChurchSuite Options tab.

Scroll down to the External Links section. From here, you can add and manage My ChurchSuite navigation menu items. Click Add external link or select Edit to change an existing link. You can also change the Order of links by clicking one of the order icons.

On the Add external link pop-up, add a suitable menu Name and external link URL (which must be a valid HTTPS link). You can optionally restrict link visibility in My ChurchSuite to just those in one or more selected Tags. Contact tag and Children tag restrictions are supported and there are also tag options for All children and All contacts - ideal for adding links aimed specifically at contacts or children. Click to Save the changes made.

We encourage you to test your links by accessing My ChurchSuite, making sure they're visible and working as expected!
