Add your Newsletter


Reduce printing and cut through email clutter by delivering your newsletter directly to your congregation's phone, complete with a Push Notification so they know it is there.

During the COVID-19 crisis, you can easily add additional news, prayer information and more by adding special purpose PDF documents.

Here’s How:

  1. Find out what method you currently distribute your newsletter.

  2. In the EzyStream Dashboard, head over to Subscriptions, located under your Account Menu (Click your name in the top right of your screen),

  3. Look under Active Services and find PDF Viewer. If it’s not there, add the 'Connect Bundle' under Available Services.

  4. Click Config.

  5. Enter the name you'd like to give the menu item in your app (eg. 'Newsletter').

  6. Click the  Icon and select your PDF file.

  7. Decide if you'd like a notification to be delivered to your users and customise the notification text.

  8. Click Submit
