🎧 LIVEVOICE - TRANSLATION LOCALLY AND ONLINE πŸ“±

Today we would like to introduce LiveVoice. With LiveVoice you can offer simultaneous translations via app at events and celebrations. It works as a practical self-service tool. 🀩

In Zurich we have been working with it for a long time and are also friends with the team - they are in a church themselves.

We can only highly recommend it! 🀝

Do you want to test Livevoice? You can create an account for free and test it with up to 3 listeners for free.

πŸ‘‰ https://livevoice.io/en/churches

If you want to buy it, we have an ICF Special Deal. With the code "ICF10" you get 10% discount.

πŸ‘€ GOOD TO KNOW: GMAIL TRICK FOR AN EMPTY MAILBOXπŸ’‘

We thought we'd share a few little tips and tricks ✌️

For all those who use Gmail, there is an feature to have many mail addresses at the same time to sort mails automatically.


1️⃣ Wherever you enter an e-mail address, simply enter your normal e-mail address, e.g. benjamin.amann@icf.ch

2️⃣ Now add a "+" and any word or term (this can be anything) e.g. benjamin.amann+important@icf.ch

3️⃣ You will receive the mails normally in your Google mailbox without any problems. You can now e.g. set automatic filters so that it ends up in a folder etc.


This is unlimited - brilliant, isn't it? 🀩

I use it e.g. for newsletter registrations or if I want to test something quickly and have to enter several e-mail addresses. 🀝

Have you heard of this trick? 😊
πŸ’³ DONATION FORM SOLUTIONπŸ’°

Would you like a donation form, especially for Sundays, that has all possible providers integrated? πŸ‘€

With Payrexx you can do just that:

πŸ‘‰ Offer direct Apple Pay on your mobile phone
πŸ‘‰ Offer your local payment providers
πŸ‘‰ Offer different currencies
πŸ‘‰ Offer different languages

This allows you to make it even easier for people to donate and not need a PayPal login, for example.

This can certainly lead to more donations πŸ’°

➑️ https://payrexx.com/de/home/

As a non-profit you get a 50% discount with Payrexx


Here is an example form from Vorarlberg. Have fun testing🀝

If you have any questions, please contact @benniamann

πŸ‘‹ BYE ICF SLIDE CREATOR - HELLO CANVA 🀝

As you know, the digital world is developing extremely fast. πŸš…

For this reason, ICF Zurich has decided to switch off the "ICF Slidecreator" platform a few weeks ago, due to limited resources and the lack of maintainability πŸ‘‹

As an ICF Movement we have decided to focus on "Canva", which we already use and covers all functions (And its free up to 50 users) πŸš€
