Notebird for synagogues: common questions

Does Notebird work with ShulCloud?

Yes. The free Notebird Synagogue Exporter Chrome extension pulls your people, birthdays, anniversaries, b'nai mitzvah dates, and yahrzeits from ShulCloud reports and sends them to Notebird. ShulCloud stays your system of record for membership and dues; Notebird holds the care history.

Does Notebird work with Chaverware?

Yes, by export and import. Export your member list from Chaverware and use Notebird's free one-time CSV import. Our team will do the import for you if you prefer.

Does Notebird replace synagogue management software?

No. Notebird does not do membership billing, dues, tickets, or a member portal. It is the care layer next to your synagogue management system: what the rabbi and clergy team need to remember about each congregant, and who is following up.

Can Notebird track yahrzeits and lifecycle events?

Yes. Milestones track yahrzeits, birthdays, anniversaries, b'nai mitzvah, and any custom lifecycle event, with reminders, so a call or a note goes out at the right time each year.

Can clergy keep some notes private?

Yes. Any update can be restricted to the person who wrote it or to admins. The rest of the team still sees what they should, and every note is searchable by the people allowed to see it.

What is the best pastoral care software for a synagogue?

For congregant care specifically (conversations, follow-ups, milestones, and reports for a clergy team), Notebird is built for that job and imports from ShulCloud and Chaverware. For membership, dues, and events, keep your synagogue management system.

How much does Notebird cost for a synagogue?

From $12 per month for one user, less per user as the team grows, with every feature included and a 14-day free trial. Most synagogues run it for the rabbi, cantor, and a small care committee.
