Confirm Contact Information

I'm adding a new feature to ServiceBuilder for our church-- it's almost done. It will help us keep our contact information up-to-date.

Here's what it does: it sends out a message to a group from your database (you decide who) asking them to confirm their contact information. They can click a link, then choose 'Accept' or 'Correct.'

As soon as they view the record, this action is stored in a separate table so we know who actually got the email and bothered checking. Then if they accept the contact information, or correct it, this information is stored in the people table, as well as in the separate table, mentioned above.

This way we can easily ask all attendees, for example, to check their contact information before we print a new church directory. They can also choose to unsubscribe!

The script has a built in password system to ensure someone doesn't change your information without your permission. Pretty cool.
