CP Groups Integration

CP-Sync integrates seamlessly with the CP Groups plugin, allowing you to import groups from your church management system directly into your WordPress site.

Prerequisites

Before using the CP Groups integration:

• CP Groups plugin must be installed and activated
• CP-Sync plugin must be installed and activated
• Your church management system (PCO or CCB) must be connected

How the Integration Works

When enabled, CP-Sync will:

1. Import groups from your ChMS
2. Create or update corresponding CP Groups in WordPress
3. Maintain synchronization between your ChMS and WordPress
4. Map group attributes properly between systems

Configuring the CP Groups Integration

Enable Integration

1. Go to Church Plugins → CP Sync.
2. On the Connect tab, turn on Sync Groups. It is disabled until CP Groups is active.
3. Click Save all Settings.

What Is Copied

CP Sync copies a fixed set of fields. There is no field-mapping setting.

Advanced Configuration

For advanced users, additional settings are available:

• Group Filtering: Filter which groups are imported based on criteria

Manual Synchronization

To manually synchronize groups:

1. Go to Church Plugins → CP Sync and open the Groups tab.
2. Click Pull Now. The tab shows Import started.

Scheduled Synchronization

Configure automatic synchronization:

1. Navigate to Church Plugins → CP Sync → Advanced
2. Set Update Interval to Hourly, Daily, or Weekly.
3. Click Save all Settings.

Troubleshooting

Common issues and solutions:

• Groups not importing: Check your group type filters in the settings
• Missing information: CP Sync copies a fixed set of fields. There is no field-mapping setting.
• Duplicate groups: Imported groups are matched by their ChMS ID. There is no unique-identifier setting.
