In the main menu on the left side of the Admin CMS, click on "Site Settings."
In the Site Settings, you will see a menu for all of the available settings to get your site set up. Click on "Org Details" at the top of the page.
Basics – Where we set up the basic details about your organization.
Org Details – Where we manage your organization's locations, contact details, social media, email settings, and other items (see below).
Site Content - Where we choose how the footer and contact page display, editing office hours, and update Mass, Adoration and Confession times.
Donations – Where we connect your Stripe payment account with your Tilma site.
Best Practices – This is the series of onboarding pages to help guide you in how to choose engaging photos, publish articles for Resources, and how to set up Ministry pages.
Manage Locations
You can set and manage all of your organization's locations by clicking on these links. This will direct you to the "Locations" tool (See Intro to Locations for more information).
Parishes: You can add locations such as each parish location (especially if you have more than one), or other places like the parish office, the rectory or a meeting/community room if they have a different street address than the parish hall.
Contact Information
Enter the organization's primary email address, as well as the phone number. You can also add a secondary phone number and the label for that, such as a rectory phone number or a fax line.
You can also paste in the URL from your organization's location on Google Maps.
Social Media Settings
Enter your Social Media account URLs here. You can add:
- YouTube
OpenGraph & Meta Descriptions
The OpenGraph Description and Meta Description are very important for social media and search engines. These descriptions will display in Google search results and when people share your organization's URLs on social media.
You should write a concise, one-sentence description about your organization that includes the name of the organization, the neighborhood and/or city where it’s located, and a little about the "personality" of your organization. You can use the same sentence for both description fields.
Livestream URL
If you have a permanent livestream link, you can enter that here and this will display that link on the Tilma Mass Finder (where applicable)
Email Sender Settings
- Sending Email Address – this is the email address you want any system and newsletter emails to "appear" to come from. Typically, this is your main organization email address, but can be whatever address you choose.
- Domain Verification – without domain verification with the Tilma platform's email service provider, emails will be sent from [email protected] but "appear" to come from your organization's email. If you want your emails to actually be sent via your parish email, then you need to contact Glass Canvas support for assistance.
- Enable welcome emails – These are the system emails that new accounts receive upon signing up. It's recommended this stay checked to comply with anti-SPAM regulations.
