Define your recurring services and events. Echo auto-assigns scanned cards to the right event so you always know which Sunday, which campus, and which service a card came from.
Create collection days that repeat on a schedule: every Sunday at 9 AM, the first Wednesday of the month, bi-weekly small groups — whatever fits your church calendar.
Echo uses the RFC 5545 recurrence standard (the same one Google Calendar uses) so it can handle complex patterns like “every Sunday except holidays” or “first and third Saturdays.”
When cards are processed, Echo looks at the timestamp, your location, and your event schedule to automatically assign each card to the most recent matching service. A batch scanned Monday morning? Echo knows it came from last Sunday’s service.
Three assignment strategies, configurable per organization:
Not everything is recurring. Create one-off collection days for special events like Easter services, VBS, community outreach days, or conferences. These work exactly like recurring events but with a single fixed date.
Each collection day belongs to a specific location. This means your downtown campus can have different service times than your north campus, and cards scanned at each location are assigned to the correct event automatically.
Browse all cards collected during a specific service. Filter your card table by event to see exactly who visited on Easter Sunday at your Main Street campus vs. your Northside campus. Great for targeted follow-up.
The auto-assignment engine looks backward in time for a matching event. The default window is 48 hours, but you can adjust this per organization. A 72-hour window works well for churches that scan cards on Monday or Tuesday.
