For Alpha admins:
1. How do I setup the app for my Alpha?
If you have signed up to use the Alpha App, you should’ve received a confirmation email which contains the exact church name you need to register your Alpha with.
1. Go to app.alpha.org and register a course
2. In the last Finish step, select the church name with location of the exact church name you received in the confirmation email. Then complete registration
3. On your course page, you will see a banner titled “The Alpha App is ready for this active Alpha!”
4. Click “Share app with guests”
5. Follow the instructions to either share the app link or print QR code sheets to share at your Alpha sessions
2. In what order does the sessions unlock for my guests?
Session content unlocks the day after that session has occurred for your Alpha. The session date and order of the topics match what is defined in the Schedule section of the linked course in your MyAlpha (app.alpha.org)

– In the app, guests can submit a form called “My next step”
– In the form, the guest notes actions they want to do post Alpha such as Attend Church, Join a small group, or Get baptised
– After submitting the form, the admin email associated to the course via myAlpha will receive the email “[name] is interested in next steps post Alpha” for every submission. Each email will include the email or phone number of the guest so that you can followup with them.

– The course ID can be found at the end of your app download link or on the QR code sheet
– The ID is formatted as [country code]+[number]; example: us-53614
