Flowforth is an email platform built for churches that already use Planning Center. People, lists, events, groups, and registrations stay in Planning Center as the source of truth, and Flowforth pulls the latest list data when you send.^1
You can compose with a drag-and-drop builder, a simple editor for personal notes, full HTML, or a Canva Email import, and the text editor includes an AI Rewrite helper that cleans up grammar, clarity, and tone without changing the meaning.^3 Automations send from Planning Center list activity, form submissions, or a schedule, and If/Else steps branch on whether someone is in a list.^5 Signup forms turn a Planning Center form into a hosted page or website embed so submissions land back in People.^6 Link-in-bio pages and QR codes, trackable or static, cover Planning Center items, files, calls, texts, and WiFi.^7 Church teams get unlimited team members, ministry folders, role-based permissions, and shared templates, with no per-seat pricing.^1
Founder Thomas Harmond started Flowforth from his own ministry needs. He writes that churches either overpaid for enterprise tools that did far more than they needed, or used church-specific software that fell short in features, polish, and reliability, and that he wanted an affordable tool for sending beautiful church email that integrates cleanly with Planning Center.^9 Flowforth is freemium and subscription-based, billed by send volume rather than contacts, with the same features on every plan and a free plan that includes 500 sends a month.^10
Churches using it say:
"The switch from Mailchimp started out as a financial decision, but it's honestly been a tremendous improvement for far more than our budget. I love how the team keeps improving the system around the real needs of ministries. We'd never think about going back." - Lauren, Calvary Church^9
"Incredibly intuitive, and the Planning Center integration works a charm." - Max, Mosman Village Church^1
"A game changer for our church, and it's helped us save money, too." - Sheri, Seven Rivers Church^1
