The problem

The same tasks, every week, by hand.

A new family fills out a card and nothing happens until someone remembers. A volunteer cancels and the chase begins. The busywork piles up — and the moments that actually need a pastor get buried under it.

Manual every time

The same follow-ups, reminders, and hand-offs re-done by hand each week.

Things slip

First-time guests, lapsed givers, and unconfirmed serving slots quietly fall through.

No accountability

When automation does fire elsewhere, no one's sure who approved what — or whether anyone did.

Visual node canvas

Build it by wiring it, not by coding it.

Drag a trigger, drop a condition, connect an action. Every automation reads like a sentence — anyone on staff can see exactly what happens, and when, at a glance.

  • Triggers from any module event
  • Branching conditions with AND / OR logic
  • Actions that write back across Synq

Approval routing

The weighty things always reach a person first.

Anything consequential — a message leaving the building, a refund, a sensitive follow-up — pauses and routes to a named owner. They see the full context, then approve, edit, or decline. Nothing leaves on autopilot.

  • Route to an accountable owner by role
  • Approve, edit, or decline with one tap
  • Every decision logged in the audit trail

Step-through on mobile

Run the whole flow from your phone.

When an approval or task lands, your team doesn't need a desk. A clean step-through view walks them through what happened, what's next, and the one decision they need to make.

  • Push the moment a step needs you
  • See the full chain of steps in order
  • Decide and move on in seconds

Automation across every module

One automation layer for all 23 modules.

A workflow can read a giving event, create a People task, book a room, send a message, and update a project — because everything lives in one platform. No webhooks, no glue, no Zapier bill.

  • Triggers and actions span People, Giving, Events & more
  • Reads and writes the one shared record
  • No third-party automation tool to license

One trigger, every module

The payoff

Busywork runs itself — you stay in control

Automate the routine so your team is freed for the work only people can do.

Hours back every week

The repeatable follow-ups and reminders just happen — no one re-does them.

Nothing slips

Guests get welcomed, gifts get acknowledged, slots get confirmed — every time.

Humans on the weighty

Anything that matters pauses for a named owner to approve.

Clear accountability

Every action and approval is logged — you always know who and when.

Run it anywhere

Approvals and steps come to your phone, ready to act on.

No more glue tools

One automation layer across all 23 modules — drop Zapier entirely.

One source of truth

Connects to the rest of Synq

Workflows is the connective tissue of Synq. A trigger in any module can drive an action in any other — all reading and writing the same source of truth — so an automation never works from a stale, copied version of the record.

Let the routine run itself. Keep the weighty in human hands.
