The importance of prayer and the impact it has can’t be overstated. In times of trouble, it helps just simply knowing that people are out there praying for you. Using the Send Prayer Comments job, you can ensure that those who submit prayer requests will know that they have the power of prayer behind them.

Setting up the Job

As the prayer team comments on requests, you can enable a job to send those comments to the originator. The job is included in your Rock installation but will need to be configured. Below is an example setup:

For general instructions on setting up jobs, be sure to review the Jobs section of the Rock Fundamentals guide.

To send communications for all prayer requests, regardless of category information, leave the Prayer Categories field blank and select “Yes” for Include Child Categories. Those settings should only be changed if there are categories for which you don’t want to send communications.

The job will only send communications for prayer requests where Allow Comments has been enabled. Requests where Allow Comments isn’t enabled will be ignored.
