2023 July Update
Your integrations are now separated into Active and Inactive. See turquoise boxes & arrows in the image below.
Integrating PastorsLine and Breeze ChMS gives your church improved 2-way text and voice communication and better relationships with your church members and first-time guests. This integration also reduces your workload. For example:
You have already created contacts and groups on Breeze. You have already captured important data. Why do it all over again? Just integrate with PastorsLine and enjoy the fruits of your previous labors.
Communicate easily with your event volunteers before, during, and after your service.
How to set up the integration
**You can do Parts A & B at the same time - copying and pasting the required info from Breeze into the integrations page in PastorsLine
Part A – Breeze ChMS - finding the required info in Breeze
1. Locate your Web address and API key by clicking the "Gear" icon on the top right corner of the screen, and then select "Manage Account":
2. On the Left side of the screen, you will see "General settings". Click to reveal the details and find your web address. Ignore the ".breezechms.com" part of the web address. You only need the info listed in the field in front of that.
