Your public page

Every masjid on InflowBooks gets its own public page on its own web address, themed in your colours and logo. It is the page the community sees when they visit you online: a warm, simple homepage that introduces the masjid and shows people how to support it.

What the page can show

Depending on what you choose to fill in, your public page can include:

• A welcome header with your masjid name, a short tagline, a cover photo and your contact details, with a Get directions button when you have added a map link.
• Live prayer times, based on the location you set in Settings, with your own jamaat times under each prayer and the time the Jumuah khutbah begins.
• A short About section: the year the masjid was established and a few lines of its story.
• Your active campaigns, that is the one-time funds you have marked to show publicly. Each one gets its own page with a shareable link, showing its progress and the ways to give.
• Clear ways to give, so visitors can support the masjid however suits them.
• Your committee, so visitors can see who runs the masjid, how to reach them, and who to contact for what.
• Your published accounts: a statement you upload as a PDF, shown with the date it went up.
• Self-service for members: the payment lookup and, when you have turned it on, the public certificate request form. The footer also links to the page where a receipt or certificate code can be verified.
• Your areas and their leaders, so members know who looks after their part of the mahallu.
• Your noticeboard: a death in the community with the janaza and burial times at each place, and the programmes you have coming up. A death notice is shown at the top of the page.

About, times and the office

Under Public page content in Settings you write the welcome heading and tagline, upload a cover photo, give the year the masjid was established, and add a few paragraphs about it. Leave any of them blank and that part is left off the page.

Jamaat and Jumuah times are yours to set: when the Jumuah khutbah begins, and for each prayer either a fixed time or a number of minutes after that prayer's azan, which the page works out against the day's azan time so it follows the season on its own. They appear under the prayer times, and on their own when you have not chosen a prayer-times location. A map link and office hours go in the Masjid profile, and give the page its directions button and an office hours line.

Each campaign card carries a WhatsApp share button, so a member can forward exactly that campaign's page to a family group.

Ways to give

You decide which payment methods appear, and you fill in the details under Settings. If you leave a method blank, it simply does not appear on the page.

Your committee

You can introduce your office bearers on the page: the president, the secretary, the treasurer, and anyone else the community should know. Open Settings and go to Committee on the public page, then add each person. Only a name is required; a position, a phone number and a photo are optional, and only what you fill in is shown.

The Order field decides who comes first, and the first three lead the section as large photo cards, with everyone else following underneath. Put your president, secretary and treasurer at the top and the page reads the way your committee board does.

The Contact for field names what people should ring that person about, for example certificates or receipts. It appears under their position, so a visitor rings the right person first time.

This list is separate from the logins in Committee logins. Someone can appear on the public page without having an account, and someone with an account does not appear unless you add them here. Use the switch on that page to hide one person for a while, or the section switch in Settings to hide the whole list.

Areas and their leaders

If you use clusters to divide the mahallu into areas, you can show them on the page so a household knows which area they belong to and who convenes it. Turn on Clusters on the public page in Settings.

Each area shows its name and its leaders' names, with their positions where you have set them. Where a unit is convened by two or three people, each one gets their own phone number and photo, so a household knows exactly who to ring. You add those on the Clusters page under Houses, and both are optional per person: leave the number out for anyone who would rather not have it published, and anyone without a photo shows as their initials.

The same page takes an area contact number, for the area itself rather than a person: an office line, or the one number to ring when no leader wants their mobile listed. It appears under the leaders, labelled as the area's number. A member's own recorded phone number is never shown on the public page, and any area you would rather not publish can be left off the list from that page.

Published accounts

Many committees present their accounts to the general body once a year and would like the community to be able to read them afterwards. Print the general body report from Reports to PDF, then open Published accounts in Settings, give it a title such as "Annual accounts 2025-26" and upload the file. It appears on the public page with the date it was published. Upload a new file to replace it, or take it down whenever you wish. Nothing is published until you upload something.

Inviting members to sponsor your subscription

Members often like to gift the mahallu something that lasts. If you turn on Invite members to sponsor the subscription in Settings, a Sponsor InflowBooks button appears in the header of your public page, with a line in the footer, inviting them to gift the mahallu its next year of InflowBooks. It leads to a pledge page where they choose one, two or three years. InflowBooks confirms with your committee, takes the payment, and extends your term from its current end date. A sponsor never receives a login and never sees your records.

The line shows only while a gift can still be added. A mahallu can hold at most three paid years ahead, so once you are covered that far the invitation disappears on its own and returns as the term runs down. It is off by default.

Setting up your public page

1. Turn the public page on under Settings. When it is off, visitors see only a simple welcome and just your committee uses the address.
2. Fill in your ways to give in Settings: your UPI ID, bank account details, and contact details for in-person giving. Leave out anything you do not want shown.
3. Set your prayer-times location in Settings so the page shows accurate times, and add your jamaat and Jumuah times beside them.
4. Fill in Public page content: a heading, a tagline, a cover photo and a few lines about the masjid.
5. Mark any one-time fund as a public campaign if you would like it featured on the page.
6. Share your web address with the community, on posters, messages or social media.

Keeping it private

If you switch the public page off in Settings, anyone visiting your web address sees a simple welcome message instead of the full page. Your committee can still use the same address to reach the dashboard and sign in as usual.
