Our CCB integration has officially launched in Giving 2.0.
Church Community Builder unifies your church communications by using text messages, mail merge, and church text notifications. By integrating Tithe.ly with CCB, you are able to have a seamless integration where your giving and church management are all in one place.
This new integration allows you to see what has been sent in your integration, connect funds and donors to help mitigate issues and adjust settings within your account.

We are constantly working to make Elvanto run smoothly in order to create a stress-free admin experience. We've rolled out some valuable changes to our People Beta design to make it the best People experience for admins in Elvanto.

We’ve worked hard to make sure everything you love about our People area is in People Beta, which is why we’ve introduced a table view with column sorting and sticky column headings that are visible no matter how far down you scroll.
In addition to that, we’ve updated People Beta with these new updates:
  • Updated infrastructure that allows our People BETA area to easily load 500 records per page with no lag.
  • Larger profile pics with rounded squares
  • Updated navigation for filtering reporting to make it easier to use
If you aren’t using People Beta and want to try it, navigate to People > People Beta in your admin sidebar navigation to check it out!
Our new Basic Template in our Giving Statement tool makes creating Giving Statements way easier for you! We’ve simplified our old template so that you can create these templates with ease and efficiency.

We’re always working to improve your Elvanto experience, and that means making even the small things better! We’ve added a Forgot Password option to the login page to the mobile app to help you access the mobile app.

An exciting new Giving update! Donors can now manually add their bank account as a payment method and verify it using Stripe's micro-deposit process.

What’s New:
  • Donors can now enter their bank routing and account numbers and manually verify their bank account as a payment method.
Most donors will directly link their bank account to Tithe.ly using their bank login details, but for those donors whose banks do not support this feature, manual verification now gives them the ability to use their bank account to fund their gifts.
We are so excited to announce that in Elvanto you now have the ability to duplicate your services! Being able to quickly create a copy of an existing service and replicate key details means that you can reduce the time spent on service planning.
The Service Duplication feature enables admins to duplicate an existing service with information like service times, descriptions, plan items, songs and their attachments, as well as notes and descriptions for each service item.
duplicate services
What’s new?
Now, under Actions in each service, there is a “Duplicate Service” option allowing you to create a copy of the service to use as a starting point for the new service! Keep reading for some important details about duplicating your services.
What Gets Duplicated:
  • Service Times and Descriptions: The specific times and descriptions set for the original service are duplicated.
  • Plan Items: All items in the service plan, including songs and attachments.
  • Notes and Descriptions: Any notes and detailed descriptions associated with each service item.
What Doesn’t Get Duplicated:
  • Overall 'Service Files': These files are not included in the duplication process.
  • Comments on Service Items: Comments from the original service are not duplicated.
  • Volunteer Rostering and Previous Service Data: This includes any reporting or check-in data related to the original service.
After you duplicate you can edit the service to your liking! Happy service planning and if you have any questions, please contact support here.
This release simplifies Church Apps user management. Now, Church App customers will be able to manage their admins and users directly within their Tithely Account instead of having to manage them in their Church Apps dashboard.

Exciting News! We just updated our Unsubscribe report so that you can understand why people unsubscribe from your church’s emails.
image
What’s New:
  • Existing Unsubscribe Report has a new “Reasons” column
  • New popup when members unsubscribe from either general or scheduling emails
  • New dropdown in their “Communication Preferences” when they unsubscribe from emails or SMS
  • [Note: no reasons are asked for when customers reply STOP from a text via a third party SMS provider set up in Elvanto]
Now when people go to unsubscribe from your email communication, we will prompt them with a list of reasons for unsubscribing. You can then access this data by heading to the existing Unsubscribe report where a newly added column shows the reason each person unsubscribed.
Understanding why people unsubscribe from your emails will help continually shape and improve your church’s communication strategy! It can help you understand if you are sending too many emails. Or it can help you keep your member database up-to-date by understanding who is no longer attending your church. For more questions about the Unsubscribe report, check out this article!
We're thrilled to share some exciting new updates to our online giving form product! We've been hard at work improving the user experience and adding new features to make giving more convenient for members of your church and easier to manage from the admin side.
