API Question
Subject: Can the CCB API read and write volunteer scheduling assignments?
Hello,
I'm the Operations Director at Journey Church International (CCB account: https://takethejourney.ccbchurch.com). We use CCB's scheduling feature to invite our staff to serve on Saturday services, and we're building one central schedule that our ministry directors update. We'd like that schedule to feed CCB instead of someone re-entering it by hand. I'm a CCB admin and can create an API user.
I've reviewed the public API service list, and it covers people, groups, events, and event RSVPs. I can't find anything about scheduling assignments, so I have a few specific questions:
-
Can the API READ scheduling data? Specifically: the person, team or position, date and service, and each assignment's status (pending, accepted, declined).
-
Can the API CREATE or UPDATE scheduling assignments, and send the invite to the person, the same way it works when someone schedules them in the CCB screen?
-
If the API can't do that, is there a supported alternative? For example: a bulk import of scheduling assignments, a saved report or export we can pull automatically on a schedule, or a way to be notified (webhook or email) when someone accepts or declines.
-
If any of this is possible, which API services do we need to enable on the API user, and are there limits or extra costs?
-
Is any of this planned for the platform, and does it change if our account is moved to a newer Pushpay product?
A short answer on what is and isn't supported would help us choose the right approach. If a call would be easier, I'm happy to set one up.
Thank you,
Matt Nisely
Operations Director, Journey Church International
