For churches
Keep your congregation informed
Announcements from the pulpit reach whoever came that Sunday. A follo reaches the whole congregation, including the families who were away.
How it works for you
-
Create a Group follo for the church
Use the church's name, or make one per ministry if they need their own news.
-
Share it on Sunday
Print the code in the bulletin and on the lobby sign, and add the link to your website.
-
Send the week's news
Service time changes, reminders and anything urgent, as it happens.
Example messages
Grace Church: meeting change
The Wednesday prayer meeting moves to the chapel this week.
Grace Church: reminder
Bring canned goods for the food drive this Sunday.
Grace Church: urgent announcement
Sunday services are cancelled because of the ice storm. Stay safe.
Where the QR code goes
The bulletin, a sign in the lobby, and the church website's front page. Members scan it once and stay connected.
Ministries can each have their own code on their own sign-up table.
Why one-way fits
Members need the same message at the same time, not a reply-all thread. One-way keeps announcements clear and keeps everyone's contact details private.
What follo is
follo is a one-way notification service that lets people follow a person, business, product, event, group, property, waitlist, or other subject through a link or QR code and receive updates from its owner.

Questions
Do members need to download an app?
No. Members follow from the bulletin with an email address and get updates in follo, and by email on paid plans.
Can different ministries have their own updates?
Yes. Create a follo for each ministry, and members follow the ones they care about.
