HOW TO WORK WITH THIS DESIGN SECTION
Your options will depend on the calendar view you are working with and your integration. The reason is that displaying a card/view CTA in an aesthetic way depends on the layout of the card/view and the data Display.Church can pull in from your integration.
Cards (List) / Slider | Monthly view / Weekly view (Pills, Stacks, Events list) / Events list |

Cards (Grid) | Detailed List |

(1) Which CTA and where?
Card call-to-action: This is the CTA which will appear in the calendar view.
Event details call-to-action: This is the CTA which will appear in the event details.
(2) Position
2a. Some of the views allow you to position your CTA button. The options are: left, center, and right.
Here is an example with the CTA button 'Contact organizer':
2b. In Cards (Grid) there is an additional layer to position: Make button full width.
If you choose to make your button the entire width of the card, then you cannot chose its position. Logical, right? (Because you have used up all the available space.)
| If you toggle on Make button full width, then the Position option will be hidden (see image to the left). |
Here is an example of how the CTA button will look (see image to the left). |
(3) CTA action
Open event page: For Pushpay/CCB, this opens to the relevant ccbchurch.com page. For Planning Center (PCO), this opens to the relevant churchcenter.com page. | Toggle on a button to see your 5 CTA options. Both buttons offer the same 5 options. |
| At the moment the Use default CTA button label button is toggled on. So, the text of the CTA will appear exactly as you chose. |
Toggle off the button to see a text entry line. At the moment it says 'Learn more'. You can keep that or type in your own CTA button label. |
WHEN USING THE 'OPEN EVENT PAGE' CTA OPTION
If the viewer clicks on the CTA (the Learn more button in the example above), they will be taken to the relevant page (URL) in Pushpay/CCB or PCO. If the viewer clicks anywhere else on the card, the events details pop-up will be triggered and will display.
If you do not want this confusion, simply toggle off 'Open event details as a pop-up. [Events section --> Event details subsection]
The viewer will still need to click on the Learn more button to get to the relevant page. However, if they click somewhere else on the event display, nothing happens. So they will be more inclined to click on the button.
