i-subscribeWho is i-subscribe for?
Anyone with a group of people to keep up to date. You write in the email app you already use, send to one address, and everyone on your list gets their own copy. Here are some ideas for what a list could do for you.
Teachers
Teachers sending class newsletters to parents.
Mrs. Smith writes her Friday newsletter in the email app she already uses and sends it to one address. Every parent gets their own copy, and replies come back to her, not to the whole class.
- A list for each class, all from the same email
- Import the roster from a spreadsheet and invite everyone at once
- Sent mail shows which parents got each message
- Parents never see each other’s addresses

Missionaries
Missionaries writing home to friends and family.
Each week the missionary sends one letter to one address, and everyone back home gets it: family, friends, the home congregation. Photos and attachments arrive just as they were sent. And the missionary no longer has to keep track of who’s on the list: a delegate, like Mom or Dad, can do that for them.
- The missionary or a delegate (e.g. mom) invites people and approves requests to join
- Send from any phone or computer, no app to install
- A QR poster at the farewell lets people sign themselves up
- Replies come straight to the missionary

Coaches, teams and clubs
Coaches and clubs sending schedules to their teams and families.
Rainouts, field changes and snack schedules reach every family at once, and a running club’s Saturday route goes out Friday night from a phone, in a minute. Families and new members who join mid-season scan the poster at practice or the meetup, and the coach approves them.
- Send as “Coach Randy” instead of an email address
- An assistant coach can send too, as a delegate
- Send from your phone
- A new list each season; delete last season’s when it’s over

Scout leaders
Scout leaders sharing campout plans with the troop.
Permission slips, packing lists and campout details go to every scout family from one address, and any leader can send them.

- Families leave with one click when their scout ages out

Pastors and ministry leaders

Families during a hard time
Families keeping loved ones updated during a hospital stay.
When someone is in the hospital, one family member sends updates and everyone who cares gets them, without dozens of calls and texts.
