How can I communicate door codes or PINs to adorers?

If your adoration program requires an adorer to enter a door code or PIN to gain entry, We Adore Him can help. You can store a single door code for all adorers, a different code for each adorer, or a code for particular hours on your schedule.

Choose between a global and a per-adorer door code with the Door code field at Admin » Settings » Miscellaneous. Per-hour door codes are set on the schedule and work no matter which option you choose here.

Door Codes in Commitment Reminders

The surest way to get a code to an adorer is to send it with the commitment reminder they already receive before their hour. The code is included in reminder emails, text messages, and phone calls. Adorers also see the code with each of their upcoming commitments on their dashboard.

Turn this on with the Include door codes in commitment reminders field at Admin » Settings » Commitments.

Global Door Code

If you selected All adorers use the same door code, then enter the global door code. Every adorer will see this door code in the website's header beneath their name when logged in.

All logged-in adorers, including those who have just registered, can view the global door code. Thus, the adorer approval workflow is required to enable this feature, which safeguards access to your adoration chapel from unvetted adorers.

Per-Adorer Door Code

If you selected Each adorer uses a different door code, then administrators and captains can enter a door code for each adorer by editing their account. Each adorer will see their own door code in the header of the website when they are logged in, beneath their name.

Please note: If you want to use the same door code for all adorers but only give this code out to specific adorers (for example, only nighttime adorers), then you can use this setting but only set the per-adorer door code on specific adorer accounts. The door code can be shared across multiple adorer accounts.

Per-Hour Door Code

Some chapels only require a code during certain hours, such as overnight. Every hour on your schedule can carry its own door code, which applies to whoever is committed to that hour.

Hover over an hour on the Schedule or Calendar page, click Edit, open the Advanced settings section, and fill in the Door code field. To cover a whole block of hours, use the bulk edit tool and turn on Door code.

Per-hour door codes require the adorer approval workflow to be enabled at Admin » Settings » Onboarding. A Clear door codes from all hours field at Admin » Settings » Miscellaneous removes every hour's code at once.

Which Code an Adorer Receives

With more than one place to store a code, We Adore Him settles on one in a consistent order:

1. The adorer's own door code, if you use per-adorer codes.
2. The door code on the hour they are committed to.
3. Your global door code, if you use one.

Bonus Tips

#1: Adorers can send a text message of CODE or DOOR CODE to your We Adore Him phone number, or press 4 on the phone menu, to receive their door code. They will receive the code for the hour they are about to begin, whether they arrive early or late. This is very helpful when standing outside the chapel and forgetting the code!

#2: Per-adorer door codes appear at Admin » Adorers. Use the Door code filter to show all adorers with or without a door code. Or search for all adorers using a particular door code by entering code=CODE_HERE in the Search field.

#3: You can include [adorer:door-code] token in a bulk message, and the system will replace it with the recipient adorer's door code. This is useful if you want to quickly notify everyone of their door code.
