Links & QR Codes

Connect your church website to Realm so people can sign in, sign up, or look up a profile without leaving your site.

Realm gives you a small set of ready-made links and code snippets you can drop into a website you already have. Nothing here replaces your website. These pieces simply point people from your site to Realm, or pull Realm data into it.

What You Can Add

Links and a QR code — web addresses that open your Realm sign-in page and, if your church lets people register on their own, its registration page. Put the links on your website, and save the QR code for bulletins, mailers, and other printed materials. See Add Links and a QR Code to Your Website.
A search box — a small block of JavaScript that allows visitors to search your Realm profiles from your website. See Add a Search Box to Your Website.

How It Works

The process for adding links is:

Copy the link or code from Realm.
Paste it into the appropriate file used by your website.
Publish your website.

Tip: Because you paste this code into your own website's source files, ask whoever maintains your site to make the change if you don't manage it yourself.

Don't Have a Website Yet?

Every Realm subscription includes a free Refresh Websites website. Instead of pasting in code by hand, you build the site with drag-and-drop widgets that stay in sync with your Realm data — events, groups, and giving update themselves. See Websites & Widgets.

Add Links and a QR Code to Your Website

Copy the web addresses that open your Realm sign-in and registration pages, then add them to your website or save the QR code for printed materials.

You must be an administrator to do this.

Your Realm site has a web address that people use to sign in. If your church allows people to register on their own, you'll also have a second address that opens the registration page. Share either one as a link on your website, or share the sign-in address as a QR code that people scan with a mobile device.

In the top-left corner, click your site name then Realm. Then click Communications > Links & QR Codes.
Click Link to Realm.
Select and copy the address you want to share.
- Under Site Link & QR Code, copy the address that takes people to your sign-in page.
- Under Connect Link, copy the address that lets people register for your site.
Note:
Connect Link only displays while your church allows people to register on their own (open-invitation model). If you invite people individually instead, you'll only see Site Link & QR Code.
In the source files for your website, locate the appropriate page's code, then paste the address in.
Save your source file and upload it to your site.
To use the sign-in address in printed materials, right-click the QR code and save the image.

Note:
Add the QR code to bulletins, mailers, and signs. People can scan it with a mobile device to open your Realm sign-in page.

Add a Search Box to Your Website

Copy a small block of code from Realm and paste it into your website so visitors can look up a congregant's profile without leaving your site.

You must be an administrator to do this.

You can add a text box to your website that searches your Realm profiles. When someone enters a congregant's name, that person's Realm profile opens.

In the top-left corner, click your site name then Realm. Then click Communications > Links & QR Codes.
Click Search in Realm.
Select and copy the JavaScript code in the box.
In the source files for your website, locate the appropriate page's code.
Note: A handy place for the search feature is the top-right corner of the home page.
Paste the code.
Save your source file and upload it to your site.
