This option allows you to display individual event sharing options when viewing on a desktop or mobile.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The Situation

The Share link (brown box in image to the above) is based on the share ID (slug) returned from the integration. In some apps, the share ID is consistent. In some apps, it is not. In other words, changing event details in your integration changes the slug and thus the ID.

Planning Center (PCO) and Google Calendar (GC) return unique, consistent, share IDs. Community Church Builder (CCB) does not.

The Fix

Display.Church (D.C) bases the Share link on the unique ID returned from the integration. So, PCO and GC Share links should work (almost) flawlessly.

Pushpay/CCB will be better, but it will still be an issue. We have reached out to their developers, explaining the situation and asking them to see what they can do. We will update you as soon as we have more information.

In the meantime, for Pushpay/CCB events, we will create a consistent, unique Share link based on the event date. As long as you DO NOT change the event date, your CCB Share link will remain the same. So, you can change the event details, picture, etc., and your Share link will be ok.

AS A GENERAL RULE

For each integration, if you make changes to events, we always suggest doing a manual resync and then double checking your share links.

Let's toggle on this button.

Now, event sharing options are displayed in the event details (blue arrow in image to the left.

Clicking on this icon will be relevant

when viewing on a desktop or with a mobile device.

This is basically what your people will see (see image to the left).

The exact content depends on the interaction of several factors:

  • type of device (laptop, mobile, etc.)

  • browser (Mozilla, Brave, Safari, etc.)

If you click on the 3-dot More icon, the display will depend on whether or not your browser is supporting native sharing functionalities.
