🚨 GOOGLE ANALYTICS CHANGE 🚨

This info is important for everyone who uses Google Analytics for their icf website.

The current "Google Analytics Universal" will be retired on 1 July 2023 and replaced with "Google Analytics 4". No more data will be collected on your old Google Analytics with the effective date!

That's why I want to encourage you to make the switch now in good time. It also brings some new advantages:

🤝 better prepared for a cookie-less internet
🤝 does not store IP addresses.
🤝 Better data analysis & data collection
🤝 Easier administration
🤝 And much more ...

For more information: https://youtu.be/fs1c29lCJA8

PS: If you don't use Google Analytics yet and have questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with @benniamann

🤲 NEW DIGITAL GIFT TEST📱

Until now, there was a gift test that was developed in Zurich. Due to technical challenges, this has now been digitally relaunched.

Simpler, more practical, in German 🇩🇪 and English 🇺🇸 and easy for us to use as ICF Movement.

https://icf.church/gifttest

📱 HUULO - EVENT & CAMP WEB APP 📱

We want to take this opportunity to introduce "huulo.io" from ICF Media 🤝

What started with a conference booklet at ICF Zurich is now its own product which Willow Creek and also others ICFs has already used.

If you would like a web app for your ICF camp or event, as an ICF, you can benefit from a minimum 50% non-profit discount. 🥳

If you have any questions, please get in touch with us @simonegli @benniamann

🤝 WEBSITE - Movement Support 🖥️

You may have wondered who to contact if your ICF website has a technical challenge.

To make this more transparent and visible, we have now integrated "HelpScout", which we already use for EQUIP and other products. 🛟

You will now find the HelpScout button at the bottom right of the website backend and can contact us directly with your questions.

Greetings from the Digital Movement Team ✌️

👨‍💻DISCORD DIGITAL & TECHNIC COMMUNITY 🎙️

Would you like to discuss digital and technical topics with others outside of this channel, exchange ideas more intensively, and share complex things?

We have created a Discord community for this purpose where other techies from other churches can also join in. With almost 500 people, it's the right place for you!

Feel free to drop by - at the moment, most channels are in German, but we also have English channels, and people are happy to answer your questions in English.

👨‍💻ONLINE COMMUNITY NIGHT (DE 🇩🇪)🎙️

Our discord server https://digital.icf.church/community is going to have another Community Night today at 8 pm (CEST) 🥳

The topic will be "Storage and Recording". Gian from the IT Team in Zurich will present the setup in ICF Zurich and show you how we store all the production data with Synology storage servers and how they handle 800TB of data 🤯

After that, there is time for a Q&A.
You don't want to miss that ✌️

👉 Join here

PS.: This time it is only in German. If you are interested in joining the next time as an English speaking person, please contact @benniamann 🙏🏼

🎫 THE CHECK-IN FOR LARGE EVENTS - WITH ELVANTO INTEGRATION 🖨

GOOGLE ANALYTICS - WE NEED YOUR HELP 🙏🤝

For our new website project, we want to understand the online ICF Movement better. For this, it would be great if we had analytics active everywhere.

How can you help?
