Create a New User

Before you begin integration, your administrator must create a new, unique administrator login, also called an "API Client" in MinistryPlatform.

  • You must be a Go Method admin to do this.
  • You must be a ChMS system admin to do this.

The login you'll create gives Go Method permission to request changes. Synchronization activity is also accredited to this login in your change log or audit record.

  1. Log in to MinistryPlatform.
  2. In the left navigation menu, click Administration > API Clients.
  3. At the top, click New to create the new API Client user.
  4. Create a Client ID and Client Secret. These fields are used to integrate with Go Method. You can use "Go Method" for the display name. Record these values because you'll need them when you associate this new administrator in Go Method.
    Tip: We recommend using the Password Generator to generate a secure value. Click the magic wand icon wand with surrounding stars beside the field to open the Password Generator and select the options you want.
  5. Assign an administrator as a Client User for the API Client.
    Note: The Client User assigned to the API Client must have administrative rights.
  6. Click Save.

Your new API client has been created.

Now that you've created the Client ID and Client Secret, log in to Go Method to continue software integration.
