Basic analytics

Measure visits, CTA clicks, and workflow actions.

The first slice logs page views, CTA clicks, slot creation, dropout marking, and copied messages so you can see whether church coordinators are actually using the flow.

Positioning

Not a full church management suite.

Roster Relay stays narrow: it focuses on dropouts, backups, and the replacement ask for worship and tech teams that already live in Planning Center, group chats, and spreadsheets.
