Product · Workflows

Handle enquiries without anything falling through the cracks.

Baptism requests, room bookings, complaints: many processes run in parallel in the parish – often in personal mailboxes, where they disappear when people go on leave or change. ChurchDesk Workflows bundles requests in a shared inbox and makes every process traceable and easy to manage.

What it does

One place for every request – instead of scattered mailboxes.

If requests are left in personal mailboxes, they are lost during leave or illness or staff changes – and no one knows what was promised. Workflows brings processes, tasks and communication together in one place: reliable for members, relieving the team, transparent for the diocese and regional church.

  • For the member

    Concerns are answered reliably – regardless of who is currently on duty or on leave.

  • For the team

    A shared inbox instead of many personal inboxes: everyone can see what needs to be done and who is responsible.

  • For the diocese and regional church

    Traceable processes across municipal boundaries – with complete documentation and clear responsibilities.

Every case is connected to the relevant contact, event and email.

Workflows accesses the same data as the rest of the platform: A case is linked to the contact in the CRM, the appointment in the calendar and the received email – instead of being in a separate ticket system.

This means your parishes work on one system, and dioceses and regional churches keep track of processing and responsibilities.

Shared inbox

All requests come together in one inbox.

Instead of managing info@, buero@ and chor@ separately, Workflows bundles shared inboxes in one place. Everyone sees their own tasks, open tasks and what has not yet been assigned to anyone.

  • Shared inboxes: info@, buero@ or chor@ of your parish in one place – not in private mailboxes.
  • Clear responsibilities: Own tasks, “Unassigned” and open tickets at a glance.
  • Filterable overview: Prioritize according to status, responsibility or channel – nothing is left behind.

Complete case history

Every process carries its entire history with it.

In each case, there is responsibility, status and the complete history: who did what and when, which documents were added and which contact the process is linked to. This means that a process can be immediately traced even after weeks or during a handover.

  • Complete history: Every activity, every note and every document remains documented on the case.
  • Linked objects: Contacts, appointments and files such as the birth certificate are directly linked to the process.
  • Secure processing: Clear responsibility prevents duplicate or contradictory processing.
