# Integrations

> Connect YouTube, Text in Church, and other services to your organization

# Integrations

Connect third-party services to extend ChurchBuddy. Manage integrations from **Organization → Integrations**.

<Info>
  Some integrations (Giving/Stripe, Checkr background checks, Zoom) exist in code but are **disabled by default** and not shown unless enabled on the server. This page covers integrations available in the standard UI.
</Info>

## Accessing Integrations

1. Click **Organization** in the top navigation
2. Click the **Integrations** sub-tab
3. Available to Owners and Organization Admins

## YouTube (Streaming)

Connect YouTube to enable live streaming.

1. Find the **YouTube** card in Integrations
2. Click **Connect**
3. Authorize with your Google/YouTube account
4. Once connected, **Streaming** appears in the top navigation (any connected integration — YouTube or Zoom — triggers the nav button)

See [Live Streaming](/ChurchBuddy/Day-to-Day/streaming) for creating and sharing streams.

### Stream Managers

Assign users who can create streams without full admin access:

1. In YouTube integration settings, add **Stream Managers**
2. Selected users can access **Streaming** and create broadcasts

## Text in Church

Connect Text in Church to send SMS reminders and notifications.

1. Find the **Text in Church** card
2. Click **Connect** — opens the Text in Church OAuth flow in a popup window
3. Complete authorization in Text in Church
4. Configure default settings

<Info>
  You may need to request developer API access from Text in Church support before connecting.
</Info>

Used for:

* Team message notifications
* Group SMS via **People → Groups → Text in Church** tab (visible only when Text in Church is connected)
* Configurable notification workflows

## WorshipBuddy

WorshipBuddy integration is managed separately — not on the Integrations tab.

* Access via top navigation **WorshipBuddy** button (when you have permission)
* Or see [WorshipBuddy Integration](/ChurchBuddy/Setup/worshipbuddy-integration)

## BibleBuddy

BibleBuddy reading plans are managed on a dedicated page:

* Direct URL: `/org-biblebuddy/?org={org_id}`
* Not listed on the Integrations tab
* Top navigation link is currently hidden — bookmark the URL or navigate directly

See [BibleBuddy Integration](/ChurchBuddy/Setup/biblebuddy-integration).

## PresenterBuddy

Pair ChurchBuddy announcements with PresenterBuddy for slide sync:

1. Find the **PresenterBuddy** card on the **Integrations** sub-tab
2. Copy the **pairing code** and share it with your PresenterBuddy operator
3. Toggle **sync enabled** to allow PresenterBuddy to read and write announcements
4. Create announcements in **display mode: ChurchBuddy and PresenterBuddy** to design slides that sync to PresenterBuddy

See also [Announcements](/ChurchBuddy/Day-to-Day/announcements) for slide editor details.

## Disabled Integrations

These require server-side feature flags and are not available in the default deployment:

| Integration                  | Flag                   | Status                   |
| ---------------------------- | ---------------------- | ------------------------ |
| **Stripe Giving**            | `STRIPE_ENABLED=false` | Hidden from UI           |
| **Checkr Background Checks** | `CHECKR_ENABLED=false` | Hidden from UI           |
| **Zoom Streaming (new)**     | N/A                    | Connect UI commented out |

Do not document these as user-facing features until enabled in your environment.

## Best Practices

1. **Connect before you need them** - Set up YouTube before your first live stream
2. **Limit stream managers** - Only assign to trusted AV team members
3. **Test SMS** - Send a test message after connecting Text in Church
4. **Review connected accounts** - Periodically audit which services are linked
