Step 1: Request an API Key from ChurchSuite
To begin, you’ll need to obtain an API key from ChurchSuite.
- Create a dummy admin user account in ChurchSuite before requesting the key.
- This ensures the key isn’t tied to an individual who might leave your organisation.
- Request the API key by contacting ChurchSuite support at support@churchsuite.com.
Step 2: Prepare Joyned for Integration
Once you have the API key and dummy admin account ready:
- Log in to Joyned and create an Area if one doesn’t already exist for your integration.
- Inside the Area, go to the Integrations tab.
Step 3: Add the ChurchSuite Integration
- Click on the + icon in the Integrations tab, located above the Community Syncs list.
- Select the ChurchSuite Small Groups option from the available integrations.
Step 4: Enter Required Details
- Fill in your ChurchSuite Account URL (e.g.,
example.churchsuite.com
). - Paste your API key from ChurchSuite into the relevant field.
- Double-check all details for accuracy.
Step 5: Finalise and Verify
- Click Create to activate the integration.
- Once completed, syncing will begin.
- Communities for all the small groups in your ChurchSuite account will now appear within the selected Area in Joyned.
By following these steps, you’ll streamline group management and improve your organisation's communication capabilities. If you encounter any issues, please contact our support team for assistance.
