Your account settings page can be used to configure some basic information about your account that will help Gloo understand exactly how you'd like to use the account. These settings will help us to route Explorers to you more accurately, get your toll free phone number submitted for verification, and have accurate information in your account to ensure your number is not flagged by carriers as spam.

Watch the video below for an overview of your account and profile settings, and continue reading below for more details!

To get to your Account Settings, hover over or click your initials in the lower left corner, then click Account Settings. If you make any changes, remember to click Save Changes in the top right when you're finished!

Add the name of your account here. This can be changed later, and is important because it will automatically be added to the end of the first text message you send to a new contact.

Add your church/ministry/organization's website. If you don't have an official website, you can use a Facebook or Instagram page, or any other online presence that can be linked to your name/organization.

Also, please make sure the link to your website is entered correctly with no spelling mistakes. If your website link is broken or incorrect, your account will fail to verify.

List the email address of the primary administrator for your Gloo account.

List the phone number of the primary administrator of your Gloo account.

Add the physical address of your church/ministry/organization. This is also important because we use this address to match you with Explorers in your area if you are using the Explorers portion of your account.

If the location for your church services are different from the account address listed above, you can add it here. If they are the same, simply check the box.

Your organization's EIN tax number is only required if you are using a local number or short code, rather than a standard toll free number.

Set the average number of people that your organization interacts with on a weekly basis. This may be the average number of people who attend your church services, or maybe the average number of contacts you have in a list to receive weekly devotionals/announcements. This helps Gloo understand how many people your account will be used to communicate with.

This helps Gloo and the phone carriers know how many text messages to expect from your account. The default setting is 250,000/month to give you plenty of leeway, but you can adjust that number up or down if you'd like.

You can choose the use cases that most closely matches how you will be using Gloo. If you are a church/ministry, you will most likely select "Religious Services."

If you are a church, you can list your Denomination here.
