As you know, part of the integration process is making sure Display.Church (DCE) has the required permissions from your ChMS or external app. The permissions needed depend on your integration and what kind of calendar/groups views you are using.

However, the situation is not a ‘one and done’. You or your staff can change connected account permissions at any time whether accidentally or on purpose. These changes can cause your D.C views to have display issues.

Display.Church has introduced SCOPES to make sure that your syncing is as efficient and accurate as possible.

Breeze: Breeze grants access to all API services via the API KEY. So, Scopes is not required.

Church Community Builder (CCB), Google Calendar (GCal), and Planning Center (PCO) all use Scopes.

Before each sync, we will recheck the permissions situation. If all is well, we do the sync. If something is off, we will stop all automatic syncing, add a notice in your D.C account, and send you an email.

Read more about Scopes in this article, including what to do if you get a Scopes-related notice.
