Hours can now be marked as coming soon. A coming-soon hour appears on your schedule in pale blue with a dashed border, and adorers can sign up for it just like an open hour, reserving their spot. Nothing else happens in the meantime: no reminders go out, and the hour stays off the Adoration Check-In Kiosk.

Hover over an hour on the Schedule or Calendar page and click Edit, then choose Coming soon under Availability. The schedule shows how many adorers each coming-soon hour still needs, so you can watch your recruiting progress toward opening it. These hours appear in the embed widget on your parish website, too.

When you're ready, edit the hour and set it to Open weekly or Open monthly. Every reservation becomes a live commitment right away, with reminders and the kiosk working as they do on any open hour, and a Message These Adorers button lets you share the good news with everyone who has been waiting.

Three New Buttons on the Login Form

The login form looks the same as before, but has three new buttons:

• Text me a code
• Email me a code
• Call me with a code

An adorer enters their name, email address, or phone number, taps a button, and a one-time code is sent to them, including a real phone call that reads the code aloud for adorers who don't use text or email.

The email and text message carry a link, too. One tap and the adorer is logged in, with nothing to type at all.

No More Password Prompts

• Signing up is faster. The registration form no longer asks a new adorer to create a password.
• Welcome messages just work. The link in the welcome email or text message now logs an adorer straight in, rather than stopping to ask them to choose a password.
• Goodbye, Forgot Password. The Forgot Password page is gone. There is nothing to reset when a password is not required anymore. They can simply log in with the one-time code (see above).

Adorers who like logging in with a password can still do so. The login form still accepts a password, and adorers can set or change their password by selecting Edit My Account on their dashboard.

Mark a group as a rotation group and arrange its members in the order they take their turns. Every upcoming date is assigned to a member, in turn, as far out as your schedule goes.

• Everyone can see whose week it is. The assigned adorer's name appears next to each upcoming date on the group's page, on every member's dashboard, and on the Calendar page.
• Only the assigned person is reminded. The commitment reminder goes to the adorer whose turn it is, rather than to the whole group.
• Substitute requests start with the group. When the assigned adorer requests a substitute, the other members are invited before the rest of your eligible substitutes.
• Check-in works as usual. The Adoration Check-In Kiosk lists the assigned adorer by name for their date, just like any other committed adorer.

Toggle the Is a rotation group field on the group form at Admin » Groups. Then open the group and drag its members into order in the Group Rotation card.

Thank you to the many coordinators who asked for this. God bless! 🙏

Deleting an account cannot be undone, and it takes the adorer's commitments and substitute invitations with it, so it now sits alongside administrator-only actions like changing the schedule and assigning roles.

When an adorer stops coming, the better move is usually to block their account. A blocked adorer cannot sign in, is not sent substitute invitations, and is not included in bulk messages, but all of their history stays intact. Captains can still do that, and an administrator can delete the account if it truly needs to go.

It now includes open substitute requests, too. While the Substitute Finder is still looking for someone to cover an hour, that request appears on your parish website under a new Substitute Requests tab, each one with its own Sign Up button.

Every parish using the widget gets this automatically. And when nobody needs a substitute, the tabs don't appear at all.

Clicking Sign Up opens your calendar to that week and asks the visitor to confirm. Anyone who isn't signed in is invited to sign in or create an account first.

Enjoy! 🎉

Admins and captains can now resend a substitute request, sending one more nudge to everyone at once. Open an active request at Admin » Substitute Requests and click Resend. You'll see exactly who will be contacted before you confirm, including any eligible substitutes the Substitute Finder hasn't reached yet.

It's meant to be a nudge, not a nuisance, so substitutes who already declined are left alone, and each request can only be resent once.

We encourage you to use it sparingly. Adorers who are asked twice for every request learn to tune out the first ask, which is exactly what makes the Substitute Finder effective. Save the resend for the hours that truly need it. 🙏

Commitment Reminders Can Include the Door Code

Turn on one setting and every commitment reminder includes the adorer's door code, by email, by text, and by phone call. Adorers see the code on their dashboard too, printed with each upcoming commitment.

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

Per-Hour Door Codes

Some parishes only lock the doors during certain hours. Every hour on your schedule can now hold its own door code. Hover over an hour on the Schedule or Calendar page and click Edit, then open Advanced settings and fill in the new Door code field.

Learn more about editing an hour or editing multiple hours at once, which is the quickest way to set a code across a whole overnight block.

Door codes safeguard access to your chapel, so they require the adorer approval workflow to be enabled at Admin » Settings » Onboarding.

Substitutes Get the Code Too

Here is where it pays off. When a daytime adorer claims an overnight substitute request, they receive the overnight code in their reminder and see it on their dashboard. They can also text DOOR CODE to your We Adore Him phone number from the chapel door and receive the code for the hour they are about to begin. Nobody has to be woken up, and the two adorers never have to exchange phone numbers.

Thank you to the coordinators who asked for this. Your chapel doors stay secure, and your adorers can walk right in. God bless! 🙏

Now a phone number that can't receive text messages appears in red with an alert icon wherever it's displayed. Hover over the icon to see what happened.

If the number is fine after all, perhaps a wrong number that has since been corrected, click Enable Text Messages and messages resume immediately. A blocked number offers Unblock instead. Adorers can do the same for their own number from their Dashboard.

To find everyone with a delivery problem, go to Admin » Adorers, click the Phone filter, and choose Has a suppressed phone number.

We also taught We Adore Him to recognize which delivery failures are only temporary, like a phone that was switched off, so a single missed message no longer sidelines an adorer you can still reach.

Suppressed email addresses work the same way, and the Admin » Emails page now shows those warnings too. Learn more about text message troubleshooting and email troubleshooting. God bless! 📱

Say your chapel would rather not offer Monthly commitments during the busy daytime hours, but you're happy to accept them overnight when the schedule is harder to fill. You can now allow monthly commitments for just those overnight hours and leave the rest of the week alone.

Hover over an hour on the Schedule or Calendar page and click Edit. In the hour window, open the new Advanced settings section and look for the Allowed commitment frequencies field. Pick the frequencies you want to offer for that hour, or leave the field blank to keep using your site default.

Learn more about commitment frequencies and editing an hour.

That passcode usually lives in one person's memory. When the kiosk needs attention months later and that person isn't around, everyone is stuck. Now there's a better place to keep it.

A Shared Place to Write It Down

You can now store the Guided Access passcode right alongside your kiosk URL, login, and password, so any admin can look it up when the tablet needs a little care.

Save the passcode in the Guided Access passcode field at Admin » Settings » Attendance, in the Kiosk Installation section. It appears once the kiosk is enabled.

This field is purely a note for your admins. Storing the passcode here has no effect on how the kiosk behaves.

When You'll Reach for It

Restarting the tablet, reinstalling the web app, or troubleshooting a frozen screen all require exiting Guided Access first. Triple-click the Side or Home button, enter the passcode, and you're in.

A small addition, but one less detail to hunt down on a busy Sunday. God bless! 🙏
