Planning Center People
Two-way sync for people, teams, and memberships. Pulsily lives downstream of your source of truth.
What you get with Pulsily
A whole rhythm,
not a single tool.
Six pieces that fit together so the work of caring for volunteers — the work most church software just doesn’t do — finally has somewhere to live.
01 · Check-ins
A monthly question that travels well.
Build a check-in once. Pulsily sends it on a schedule, reminds the people who haven't answered, closes the window when it's done, and rolls every answer up into trends you can actually read.
- Weekly, biweekly, monthly, or custom cadence
- Scaled, text, and multiple-choice questions
- Audience-scoped — send to a team, a role, or the whole church
- Automatic flags for urgent / prayer / burnout signals
02 · The care wall
The people most worth a touch this week.
Pulsily reads every response, every silence, every overdue cadence, and surfaces the people who need a call before the week gets away from you. Snooze the ones who said 'next month'; walk the ones who can't wait.
- Sorted by urgency, not last name
- One-click snooze with a reason
- Per-leader audience scoping for big staff teams
- Real-time updates as touches get logged
03 · Walks
A list of three or four names, walked slowly.
A walk is the quiet, undramatic act at the center of pastoral care. Pulsily turns the care wall into a sequence — one person at a time, with everything you should remember about them right there on the page.
- Walk by team, by audience, or by who's quietest
- Inline note + touch logging — no separate CRM step
- Skip-and-return so a walk follows real life
- Email digests of recent walks for your team
04 · The question library
The questions you ask, kept honest.
Every check-in pulls from a shared library, which means the question 'how are you carrying it this week?' rolls up the same way across vocal team, hospitality, and kids ministry — so you can see one trend instead of seven.
- Cross-team rollups for scaled questions
- Tag and search the library
- Edit a question once, see the change everywhere
05 · Audiences
One rule, every team it should reach.
Audiences are the connective tissue. 'All worship leaders.' 'Staff who haven't been touched in 60 days.' 'New volunteers in the last quarter.' Define the rule once; every check-in, walk, and care wall view can use it.
- Rule-based or list-based
- Live-resolving — they update as your roster changes
- Downline-scoped for staff who only see their teams
06 · A person's page
Everything you should remember, in one place.
When you click into a person, you get the things conversation actually needs: pinned notes, recent touches, six months of check-in answers, prayer requests they flagged, and the relationships that ground them.
- Pinned context that survives staff turnover
- 12-month answer timeline with trend lines
- Touch + note logging in 5 seconds, not 5 minutes
- Soft-delete and merge for messy roster data
