Enhancing Pastoral Care: CareNote's Integration with Planning Center Online
CareNote, a leading software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider for pastoral care, is proud to announce its integration with Planning Center Online (PCO), a popular church management platform. This integration is designed to streamline the management of congregant care by syncing important profile and care information between the two systems, ensuring pastoral staff can focus more on care and less on administrative tasks.
Comprehensive Integration Features
CareNote’s integration with PCO provides seamless synchronization of congregant data, enhancing the capabilities of both platforms in several key areas:
Synchronized Profile Information
Profile details such as first and last names, family relationships, contact information (phone numbers, email addresses), and significant dates like birthdays and anniversaries are consistently updated between CareNote and PCO. This ensures that any changes made in one system are automatically reflected in the other, maintaining up-to-date records at all times.
Exclusive Care Management in CareNote
While basic contact information syncs between CareNote and PCO, specific updates related to care management—such as task completion, care milestones, and personalized care notes—remain exclusively within CareNote. This allows for detailed care tracking while keeping essential contact information aligned with PCO.
Direct Access to PCO Profiles
For ease of access and to enhance the care process, CareNote includes direct links to corresponding PCO profiles under each congregant’s name in the CareNote interface. This feature ensures that pastoral staff can quickly access additional information stored exclusively in PCO without multiple system navigations.
