A church admin generates the key from Settings, and our team builds Volty's connection on it. - 01 · Generate the key · In ChMeetings, go to Settings > Integrations > API Integration and click Get API. - 02 · Agree the data · People, groups and group leaders. Contributions only if you want members to ask about giving. - 03 · Admin confirms in Volty · A workspace admin approves the connection before Volty calls the API. - 04 · Keep the key current · Changing the key in ChMeetings disables every app on the old one. Tell our team before you rotate it. ### The tools Volty gets Each one is a switch on the Sources page in Volty. - Find person · Reads - Read group schedule and leader · Reads - List new members by month · Reads - Read member's contributions · Reads - Request to join group · Changes Reading tools can be turned on straight away. Anything that changes ChMeetings starts Off, and once on it can be set to check with staff, so each change waits for a colleague. ## Common questions ### Is the ChMeetings API on our plan? ChMeetings lists the developer API as available on all its plans, from Very Small through Unlimited and Diocese. Its developer guide gives a rate limit of 100 requests per second, which is far more than Volty uses while answering a member. ### How do we give Volty access to ChMeetings? A church admin goes to Settings > Integrations > API Integration and clicks Get API to generate the key. Our team builds the connection with it, and an admin approves it once in Volty. If you later change the key, every app on the old key stops, so tell us first. ### Can Volty tell a member what they have given? Only if your church includes contributions in the connection. When it does, Volty answers with the total for the member writing in, matched on their own contact details, and never about anyone else. A disputed gift goes to your finance volunteer. ### How much does it cost to connect ChMeetings with Volty? Every Volty plan includes seats, active contacts and AI credits and starts with a free 7-day trial, and the plan prices are on voltade.com/pricing.
