Syncing Data

Go Method can update profiles and create donation records in MinistryPlatform. It can also create events or pledge campaigns using global variables. If global variables do not display, integration was unsuccessful.

  • You must be a Go Method admin to do this.
  • You must be a ChMS system admin to do this.
Before Go Method can create records in MinistryPlatform, you must select global variables that will be used to identify the source of these updates there. For example, you select "Donor Participant Type" to be "Visitor". Later in the week, one of your mission team member's receives a $500 donation toward a mission trip to Zambia. Go Method will synchronize the donor name and amount of the donation in MP, while attributing the "Donor Participant Type" to "Visitor".
  1. Log in to Go Method.
  2. Click Admin > Settings..
  3. In the left menu, click Software Integration.
  4. Under MinistryPlatform, enter the global variables.
  5. Once complete, Click Save.
Once integration is successful, Go Method creates files inside MinistryPlatform to send information between Go Method and MP. Please do not delete these. If they are deleted, Go Method recreates them. This image shows an example of the files that Go Method creates.
