Mobile App: Enable and Use Interactions

Interactions are a feature of Amplify People (ChMS), seamlessly integrated as a module within our Mobile App. 

Primarily designed for staff and volunteers, Interactions allows you to easily log connections with your community (emails, calls, visits, etc.) and assign or respond to ministry tasks, ensuring no one falls through the cracks! Learn more about Interactions.

How to Use Interactions on Your Mobile App

Note: For the Interactions to display in your mobile app, a user must have appropriate permissions within your ChMS and be logged into the mobile app itself. 

For example, in the permission set below, a user would have the ability to view their own interactions as well as log any type of interaction.

View and Complete Assigned Interactions

When you tap on the Interactions menu item, users can view Interactions Assigned to Me or Assigned to Others (depending on permissions). Tap an interaction to view its details. On the Interaction Details screen, tap on an individual to view their contact information if needed.

Note: If a user has permission to just Assign or Log interactions (one or the other), when they click the + Interaction button, they'll immediately be taken to either the Assign Interaction or Log Interaction Screen.

 

Past Due Interactions

If an interaction has not been completed by the assigned due date, it will display an exclamation point icon on the Interactions screen and Past Due on the Interaction Details screen.
