Switching from Clearstream to MosesTab

Texting alongside members, giving and events

Most churches complete the switch in under 30 minutes

What switching from Clearstream looks like

Clearstream describes itself as communication software for the local church. MosesTab puts mass texting alongside member management, giving, events, check-in and volunteers.
MosesTab includes mass texting, automated message sequences, and keyword-based opt-ins.
No downtime. Keep both numbers active during a transition period so every message gets through.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep my existing texting number?

Number portability depends on the carrier. Most short codes and 10DLC numbers can be ported with a few weeks' lead time. We recommend planning the switch with a transition period where both numbers are active.

How does MosesTab handle opt-outs?

MosesTab handles STOP/START opt-outs automatically. Your church is responsible for confirming that members opted in to receive texts.

What about two-way conversations and replies?

MosesTab texting is broadcast-first today: STOP/START opt-outs and visitor keywords (e.g. GUEST) are handled automatically, and inbound replies are logged, but there is not yet a shared inbox for staff to reply from a thread. If threaded two-way conversations are central to your workflow, factor that into your timing.
