Overview

This guide walks you through connecting your ChurchSuite account to Jovo. It’s designed for church administrators who need to enable data syncing between the two platforms.

By following these steps, you’ll create the necessary authentication credentials in ChurchSuite and securely add them to Jovo.

‍

‍

Set up the integration in ChurchSuite

1. Open the Jovo integration settings

• Go to the Admin area in Jovo
• Navigate to the Integration screen
• Open the Connection tab

Keep this page open, as you’ll need to paste credentials here later.

‍

2. Log in to ChurchSuite as an administrator

• Sign in to ChurchSuite using an administrator account
• Ensure this user has access to all sites (if your church uses multiple sites)

This is essential for the integration to work correctly across your organisation.

‍

3. Create an OAuth application

• Go to the OAuth applications section in ChurchSuite
• Select Add OAuth App
• Enter a name and description
• Set the application type to Confidential
• Set the redirect URI to https://my.jovoapp.com/churchsuite/auth/complete
• Save the application

This step allows Jovo to securely authenticate with ChurchSuite.

‍

4. Generate OAuth credentials

• Open the OAuth app you just created
• Select Add Secret
• Enter a name for the secret
• Confirm your password

Once created:

• Copy the Client ID
• Copy the Client Secret
• Paste both into the corresponding fields in Jovo

‍

5. Enable API access for your user

• In ChurchSuite, locate the user account you are using
• Open the More options menu
• Select Enable API access
• Confirm that you trust this user

This allows the account to interact with ChurchSuite programmatically.

‍

6. Create API sync credentials

• After enabling API access, select Add Secret
• Give the secret a clear name
• Confirm your password

Then:

• Copy the API Client ID
• Paste it into Jovo
• Copy the API Client Secret
• Paste it into Jovo

‍

7. Save your credentials in Jovo

• Return to Jovo
• Click Save ChurchSuite Credentials

Jovo will securely store these details and complete the connection.

‍

You have now successfully connected ChurchSuite to Jovo.
