Planning Center

Planning Center, both ways

VISTA reads your Planning Center people, links each guest to the record they already have, and sends your staff's work back.

The link

No second Sarah Jenkins

Every church tool that touches Planning Center eventually creates a duplicate person: one phone number and eight years of history on one record, and nothing on the new one. VISTA links to the record you already have.

When someone new comes in, VISTA looks for their existing record by name, email and phone, shows you the likely matches, and your staff confirms with a tap. Nothing is linked without a person saying so.

Both ways

Done once, in both places

Planning Center stays the source of truth for who people are. Check off a workflow card in VISTA and it moves on in Planning Center. Ministry leaders, Tap in check ins and people who have moved on go back too.

Your leaders keep working in Planning Center the way they already do, and nothing gets typed twice.

Questions churches ask

Does VISTA write to Planning Center?

Yes, where it saves your staff a step: workflow cards, ministry leaders, Tap in check ins and people who have moved on. It links to the people you already have instead of making duplicates.

Which plans include Planning Center?

All of them.

What about workflow cards?

They come into VISTA as tasks for the person the card is assigned to. Check one off and the card moves on in Planning Center.

Do we need Planning Center at all?

No. Everything else works without it.
