How to manage the approvals for the ChurchTools website?

2 Min. lesen

First, go to the Public relations section in your ChurchTools.

Go to the ChurchTools website (1) and select Posts, Calendar, People or Groups from the menu on the left (2).

You can share Posts, Calendars and Persons directly. Under Groups you will find an overview of all published groups. You can publish groups in the Groups module.

Share Posts #

To share and publish posts on the ChurchTools website, select the Groups whose posts you want to share using the + Share posts button.

Once approved, the public Posts of the selected Group(s) will be published on your ChurchTools website with the next update.

Share calendar #

To share and publish calendars for the ChurchTools website, simply select the calendars you want to share using the + Share calendar button.

The image and address of an event from ChurchTools will be used for your website. If a calendar is assigned to a campus in ChurchTools, this is also transferred to the calendar name on the website.

Once approved, the selected calendars will be published on your ChurchTools website with the next update.

Release and publish personal data #

Release personal data

Sharing with individuals works via the users’ group roles in ChurchTools. Unlike posts or calendars, the current data of shared persons is then automatically imported into your ChurchTools website, but not automatically published. You can find out how to publish the data in the next section.

  1. You create the release of the persons via the + Share members button.
  2. First, select the group in which the person is located.
  3. In the last step, you select the group role that you want to publish.

Publish personal data

Approved people are synchronized to your website and saved there as a draft under People. You can find out how to further edit and publish the data in our article on publishing personal data.

Published Groups #

Groups are published without further approval as soon as you set the visibility of the group to Public in the group settings. ChurchTools Website then automatically imports the published groups and keeps them up to date.

All public groups and their group homepages are displayed in the group shares.
