Getting Started with HFC

Join HFC

  • Complete our HFC Registration Request Form and payment (available on home page at login)
  • HFC Admins will contact you via text/email when your account is approved and available for login (typically 24-48 hours after receipt of payment).
  • Request to join the HFC App using the invite link in your approval notice
  • Review this HFC-VIP Tutorial
  • Keep your contact information updated with Admin. If email/cell phone changes, we need to update your member file.

Understand HFC-VIP App on Band App Platform

  • It is a private, hidden group and cannot be located by searching the App (please do not share link – it is private for members only)
  • Make sure your profile includes for first AND last name before requesting to join
  • Post to share info/events, create events, or add info to the appropriate group chat to invite others to join you for activity plans
  • Please do NOT turn off notifications – use settings to adjust them appropriately
  • Be sure to tag me or others by name if you have questions

Messaging Options

  • Group or private chat on App is preferred in most cases.
  • Text messaging to 678-879-3809 for immediate answers (i.e. enroute to event, emergency, etc.).
  • It is not helpful to post, message on App and send a text
  • You do not need to post notifications of sending payments unless the event has not been updated 2-3 days after payment send (not weekends).

Group & Private Chat Messages on App

  • Group chats are set up and accessible by clicking on the chat icon.
  • If you do not see the chat icon in the menu sections on your device, you are not actually in the HFC-VIP group feed.
  • If you see a “home” icon in the menus you are in your personal feed.
  • Like Facebook, you can see some info in your personal feed, but to see details and complete info you have to actually click to access the appropriate group feed…same principal with Band App.
  • LEAVE chats by going to the chat settings and clicking Leave Chat.
  • Private chats are available by creating a chat and indicating it is a private chat. You can create a private chat with one person or multiple people
  • VERY IMPORTANT: NO POSTS ARE VISIBLE IN A GROUP CHAT PRIOR TO A MEMBER JOINING THE GROUP CHAT!!
