Dashboard

Intake address

Share this address with your missionary. Any letter they send here lands in the Letters tab for review. Only addresses on the approved-senders list (Site Settings) can use it.

letters@…

Approved senders can also email subscriber-list@… to receive their current subscriber list as a reply — useful when web access is limited.

Quick Actions

When the missionary wrote this letter. Shown in the archive.

Pins appear on the public map in chronological order. Visitors see numbered markers.

Site Settings

Sets the pronouns used on the public landing page (he/him for Elder, she/her for Sister). Leave blank to use gender-neutral language.

JPEG, PNG, or GIF. Oversized images are resized to 800px automatically. You can also paste a URL:


Incoming mail & replies

The missionary's personal address. Used as the Reply-To on outgoing letters so replies go straight to them.

By default replies go to the missionary. Check the box only if you want replies routed somewhere else (e.g. a parent's inbox).

Only mail from these addresses to letters@… will reach the subscriber list. Anyone else gets a polite bounce-back.


Help Fund My Mission


External links (optional)

Shown on the public site as a list — photo album, Instagram, donation page, whatever you want to share. Leave blank to hide.


Page sections

Drag to reorder, or use the up/down arrows. Toggle the eye to hide a section. The header and footer always show — they identify your missionary.

Maintenance mode

Route broadcasts to test recipients only. Real subscribers don't receive anything, and the letter stays in pending so you can broadcast it for real after turning this off.

Email Design

Everything that affects how your broadcast emails look and read. Changes save automatically.

Letter design

The overall visual style of your broadcast emails.

Click any thumbnail to switch templates, or hit Preview broadcast at the bottom of the page to see the full email with your settings.

Postmark stamp

Adds a postal-style stamp to the email header. Optional.

Plain-text emails don't have a header — the stamp option turns off automatically when that template is selected.

Postmark location

The city + country shown inside the postmark cancellation (e.g. São Paulo · Brasil).

Sender + subject

What recipients see in their inbox before they open.

What recipients see in the From: line. Leave blank to use the default your name + " Mission Updates".

Adds a consistent prefix/suffix to every letter's subject. Placeholders: {subject} {missionary} {week} {location} {date}. Wrap a group in […] to hide when empty — e.g. [Week {week}: ]{subject} reads as "Week 12: Hello" when week is set, just "Hello" when it isn't.

Greeting

Used for subscribers imported without a name. Leave blank for the default "Dear friends and family,".

Body content

Appended below every letter. Markdown for formatting: **bold**, *italic*, [link text](https://…), blank line for paragraph break, single Enter for line break. Placeholders: {missionary}, {mission}.

Sent to new subscribers when they sign up. Placeholders: {name}, {missionary}, {archiveUrl}. Leave blank for the default welcome message.

#2563eb

Used for buttons and accent lines in your broadcasts and welcome message. Default blue works for most lists.

Footer "Serving From" line (optional)

When both fields are filled in, broadcasts include a "Serving From: {Ward} (Unit #{Number})" line at the bottom of every email.

The 6- to 9-digit unit number for your missionary's home ward or branch. Ask your ward clerk or financial clerk — they can give it to you in seconds. (It's also printed on the bottom of paper tithing slips.) Shared with Help Fund My Mission on Site Settings — editing it here updates both places.

Renders this email with sample text using all of your current settings. Useful before hitting Broadcast on a real letter.

Domain Setup

A custom domain gives this missionary their own web address (for example, theirname.com) and their own letter-intake email address. The wizard below walks through it: add a few DNS records at your domain registrar, verify they're live, then turn on letter-receiving. You can also skip this entirely and use the path URL shown on the dashboard — the custom domain is purely for polish.

Custom domain

The bare hostname for this missionary — no https://, no trailing slash. Saving a new domain resets the DNS setup below, so you'll re-walk the wizard for the new domain.

Switching back uses letters@… for intake and the path URL for the public site. Your registrar DNS records can stay — they just stop being referenced.

Where is your domain registered?

Picking your registrar shows the exact steps for finding the DNS settings page there — plus gotchas specific to that registrar. We try to auto-detect from your domain's nameservers; if our guess is wrong, override below.

Add these DNS records at your registrar

Each row is one record. Click the value to copy it, then paste it into a new record at your registrar. "Why this matters?" opens a short explainer for each record.

Save your domain above to see the records you need to add.

Verify your records

We look up each record across three public DNS resolvers and show you what's live now versus what we need. DNS can take a few minutes (sometimes longer) to fully spread.

Activate letter-receiving

Once every DNS record above is verified, click below to turn on letter intake at letters@…. Letters sent there will appear in the Letters tab for review and broadcast.

Still pending after 30 minutes. If propagation isn't moving for you, ask us for help with this domain — we'll see your current DNS state and reply with what to fix.

Billing

Your current plan, payment status, and the add-ons you've chosen. Buying a plan or add-on opens Stripe's secure checkout in a new window; managing your card or cancelling Monthly opens Stripe's billing portal.

Current plan

Compare features across plans

Add-ons

Optional purchases on top of your plan. Tick the checkboxes on one-time items to bundle them into a single checkout, or click Buy on any row to purchase it on its own. Subscriptions check out one at a time.

Close your account

Permanently delete your account and every missionary you've created — letters, subscribers, photos, the public archive. Billing records (Stripe history) are retained for 7 years for tax/accounting compliance; everything else is deleted within seconds.

We'll email you a confirmation link before anything is deleted. The link is valid for 1 hour.

Managers

People who can manage this missionary's account: review pending letters, add or remove subscribers, edit Site Settings. Inviting someone sends them an email with a sign-in link valid for 7 days. They'll need to sign in with the Google account that matches the invited email address.
