Q: I want to add a visitor to the system but I only have the option to add members.

A: Shulspace defines any contact added to your Shul as a “member” however, it can really be anyone including a visitor. You can differentiate a visitor VS a member by creating a custom tag that will help you identify who is who. If you do not want the visitor (or non-member) to receive emails once you send them for example, an invoice, be sure to click the opt-out of email box after you send them their invoice.


Q: Can you please add "aliyah name" and "Kohen levi yisrael" fields to the import?

A: This capability is on our product roadmap, would you like to be updated when the functionality is live?


Q: Is there a way to upload without having everyone's email address?

A: The email is a member’s unique identifier. Without this, you will be unable to utilize features in the system with a member missing an email. If you simply do not have their email or they do not have access to the internet, you can add them with a fake email ([email protected]). If there are multiple members without emails and you are adding them with fake emails, be sure to differentiate each email test1, test2, test3 etc. or else the system will not allow you to use the fake email more than once.

If you do not have time to collect everyone’s emails or create member accounts, you can send out your default website with the member sign-up form turned on. Have the members in your Shul sign up through that form.


Q: Can I enter another phone number and email for the members?

A: Currently, you can have one email, a mobile and house phone number. If you are trying to add another family member, you will need to create them as their own member. We will have a family member option in the future, would you like to be updated when that feature is live?
