Questions
How to build your church schedule with an app.
IDE Escalas is an app for building a church's volunteer schedule. Leadership builds the schedule for every ministry in the browser; each volunteer is notified on their phone, confirms in the app (Android or iPhone) with one tap and gets reminders 3 days, 1 day and 1 hour before. If someone declines, the system invites the next in line.
You register the ministries and the volunteers, pick the services and publish. IDE Escalas shows every ministry in a single grid and suggests who is available. Once it's published, each volunteer is notified on their phone, and those with the app confirm with one tap.
No need to remind anyone one by one. IDE Escalas sends reminders 3 days, 1 day and 1 hour before the service, by phone notification — on paid plans, also by WhatsApp for those without the app. In the app, volunteers confirm right from the notification.
They decline in the app, and IDE Escalas invites the next in line, with a deadline to reply. If that person also declines, it calls the next one until the spot is filled — and the leader only gets the outcome. Anyone who already knows they'll be traveling blocks the date ahead of time and isn't scheduled at all.
To confirm, yes: replies go through the app, on Android or iPhone, and volunteers pay nothing. Anyone who hasn't installed it yet still gets scheduled and, on paid plans, receives the reminders on WhatsApp. Leadership uses the browser, with nothing to install.
For up to 10 volunteers and 2 ministries, it's free forever: manual scheduling, setlists and the volunteer app. Every sign-up starts with 14 days with everything unlocked, no credit card; after that, the church stays on the free plan or picks a paid plan by team size, with no lock-in.
