People Management
Go Method adds people to MinistryPlatform (MP) when they do not exist and updates an individual's information when information updates in Go Method.
Note: MinistryPlatform cannot inform Go Method when an individual's information changes in MinistryPlatform.
Go Method assigns participants to the event in MP. To view participants in MP, select the event. Participants are located on the tab at the bottom.
When an individual applies for an event, the sync process adds the person to the event in MP. Depending on the rules set on the event in Go Method, the event participant will be added to one of three participation statuses.
- Interested - The individual has applied, but has not been accepted to the event in Go Method.
- Registered - The individual is actively on the event either by being accepted to the event in Go Method.
- Canceled - The individual was once on the event but is now removed or was rejected.
As individual's register, Go Method continues to update MP .
