Recent Family Attend by Primary Adult¶
This Condition is located on the Recent Attendance category tab in Search Builder. It allows you to specify a number of look back days. You can also specify a Program, Division, or an Involvement. (1,2 or all three). The function will return all Primary Adult members of the family if one or both of them recently attended in the past number of days.
Use Case: Primary Adults that Did Not Attend Worship
If you track individual attendance in Worship and hand out a monthly newsletter, you could find a family that did not attend that specific Worship Involvement on the week you gave out the Newsletter. Use this condition = false and specify the Program/Division/Involvement for the Worship Involvement, combine that with Is Member Of that same worship Involvement (otherwise it returns the whole database). You would specify the number of lookback days to capture those that did not attend the Sunday you gave out the Newsletter
Then you can add either IsHeadOfHousehold or even the HeadOrSpouseWithEmail condition. Which of those you use would depend on whether you want to send a mailed piece or you want to email the family.
In the search below the results will be the HOH for the family in which neither Primary Adult attended the Worship Service 9:00 AM in the past 14 days, but they are enrolled in that same Worship Involvement.
