In order to set up the integration with Church Community Builder, you must first create an API User. To create an API User in CCB you must either:

  • Be the Master Admin of your CCB account.

  • Have the Edit System-wide Settings Admin Privilege enabled for your CCB profile.

For a quick demonstration of how to create an API User, just watch the video below. Alternatively, you can follow the written instructions.

Step 1: Log in to CCB

Step 2: Go to System Settings > API

Click the gear icon (โš™๏ธ) at the top right corner, and choose "API" from the menu.

Step 3: Copy your API URL

Copy the URL listed next to "Your API URL". You'll need this when setting up the integration in Clearstream.

Step 4: Create a new API User

On the right, click the "Add a new API User" button. You only need to fill out the Name, Username, Password and Re-Type Password fields. You'll need the Username and Password when setting up the integration in Clearstream.

NOTE: Don't save the new user just yet.

Step 5: Add Required Services

The final step is to grant the API User the necessary permissions. Click the "Services" tab at the top.
