We watch the plan so you don't refresh it
Every synced plan is checked against your team. Declines and unfilled positions surface as open gaps, ranked by how soon the service starts.
- Declines become requests in one tapPosition, date, call time, and venue are already filled in.
- Multi-position requestsKeys and drums missing? Post both from the same service card.
- Stale invites flaggedA pending position that's gone quiet gets an amber warning before Sunday.
They arrive knowing the songs
When a musician accepts, your Planning Center order of service comes with them — songs in the right keys, chord charts, MP3s, YouTube tutorials, and the leader's notes. No forwarding, no “can you send me the charts?” on Saturday night.
