An important update is here regarding the functionality of featured events in DisplayChurch for the Planning Center (PCO) integration. Successfully managing featured events not only reduces information overload, it also highlights important happenings, potentially increasing engagement.
As many users know, featured events and badges in DisplayChurch operate using filters that vary by integration. Specifically, for the PCO integration, our partners can filter featured events based on several criteria, including Tags, Tag Groups, Approval status, and a variety of “Groups” options.
This means that if a featured event falls under any of these categories, you can easily highlight it via a Featured Badge or Featured Highlight. For example, if a featured event is linked to a specific Connection Group, that can be leveraged to enhance visibility.
New Feature: Featured Category for Planning Center Users
Recently, a new option has been added for the PCO integration: Featured. In PCO, in the Settings tab, you set the visibility to ‘Featured’ (blue box and arrow in image below). Display.Church can access this data via the PCO API.

With this update, you can now simply choose Filtered to designate whether an event should be featured. This streamlined approach not only saves time but also makes it easier to manage event visibility.
