Automation rules keep member lifecycle and recurring event work up to date without manual updates. You manage them from the organisation-level Automation page.
Who can do this: Org Owner can enable rules, disable rules, and update thresholds. Org Admin can view rules and execution history in read-only mode. Branch Admin, Editor, and Treasurer do not see Automation in the sidebar.

Open automation

  1. In the sidebar, find Organisation.
  2. Click Automation.
  3. Use Rules to review and configure rules.
  4. Use Execution History to review automation activity.
Automation is an organisation-level feature. Branch-scoped users who open the route directly see: Automation rules are managed at the organisation level.

Feature access and redirects

Bethel ChMS checks automation access before it shows the page.
  • If automations are available, the page opens normally.
  • If automations are temporarily unavailable, the page shows Automations as unavailable.
  • Automation is included on the Standard plan. If automation access is unavailable because of an account or entitlement issue, contact support.
See Feature availability by plan for plan and feature availability behavior.

Automation rules

The Rules tab shows one card for each configurable rule. Each card shows the rule name, description, Enabled or Disabled status, current threshold, a toggle, and Configure.
RuleWhat it doesDefault threshold
Visitor ConversionConverts visitors to newcomer members when they reach the visit threshold inside the recency window.3 visits within 30 days
Newcomer to ActivePromotes newcomer members to active after enough attendances in the configured period.4 attendances within 90 days
Active to InactiveMarks active members inactive when they have not attended for the configured number of days.No attendance in 30 days
New organisations start with these default thresholds, and automation is disabled by default for new rules. Your organisation may show different thresholds if they were previously changed or migrated. Enable only the rules you want Bethel ChMS to run.

Enable or disable a rule

Org Owner can use the switch on each rule card.
1

Open rules

Go to Organisation > Automation and open Rules.
2

Find the rule

Review the rule cards and current Threshold values.
3

Change the status

Use the switch beside the rule status badge.
Bethel ChMS confirms the change with a toast such as Visitor Conversion enabled or Visitor Conversion disabled. The Standard plan does not enforce an automation rule limit. You can enable any available automation rule.

Configure organisation thresholds

Org Owner can update the default thresholds that apply to every branch unless a branch has its own override.

On the Rules tab, click Configure on a rule card.
2

Edit organisation thresholds

In Organisation Thresholds, update the fields for the rule.
3

Save the rule

Click Save.
The configuration dialog is titled Configure: Visitor Conversion, Configure: Newcomer to Active, or Configure: Active to Inactive.

Threshold fields

On the Rules tab, click Configure on the rule you want to adjust.
2

After you save, the branch row shows Custom. To remove the branch-specific settings, open the row and click Reset to default.

Review execution history

Use Execution History to see what automation has done for the organisation. The page shows summary cards for:
  • Visitors Converted
  • Members Promoted
  • Marked Inactive
  • Occurrences Extended
The history table includes Executed At, Rule Type, Entity, Branch, and Details.

Filter execution history

Use the filters above the table to narrow the log.

The table shows 20 entries per page. Use Previous and Next to move through additional pages.
Occurrence Generation appears in execution history, but it is not configurable from the Rules tab.
