There are many ways to add people to a PastorsLine (PL) group.

I. Add a person who is not already part of your PastorsLine people

1.1 Use a keyword which adds them to a group

1.2 Import them into a group

1.3 Sync via an internal integration

People can text a keyword to your PastorsLine number or one of the shared PL numbers to opt in.

Are your contacts in a .csv file? You can import them into PL.

Set up an integration and sync your people.
