CCB: Syncing Groups
We sync group data back and forth between GV and CCB. So whether you create or update a group in one system, it will sync to the other system.
Any changes made to a group or new groups in GV are updated in CCB within 2-10 minutes.
Any changes made to a group or new groups in CCB are updated in GV during the nightly sync process that happens around midnight.
All groups created in GV must have a leader (who's not a Limited Access User in CCB) assigned to them in order for them to sync with CCB. This is a requirement by CCB that we cannot control. If a leader you're trying to add is a Limited Access User, we'll let you know at that time.
Here are the CCB group fields we sync with GV:
- Group Name
- Group Description
- CCB Group Type
- Group Campus
- Group Leader
- Group Participants / Members
- Group Apprentice Leader (syncs as a leader)
- Group Guest (syncs as a participant
- Group Admin (syncs as a participant)
- Group Attendance (as a CCB group event - we current only send attendance events to CCB, we don't read attendance events yet)
Here's what we plan on syncing in the near future:
- Life stage
- Area of town
- Group photo
- Child care
- Membership Type (open/closed)
- Public Search (Show in the GroupFinder)
- Group participant limit
- Group Status (Inactive setting in CCB)
- Country
Known bug with CCB. We reported it to them and waiting for them to fix it. - Attendance Events (We current send attendance from GV to CCB though!)
Here is what we do not sync with CCB:
(we don't plan on syncing these things unless we see a high demand)
- Group Calendar Events (We will only send their GV attendance data to CCB and it will show up as a one-time calendar event for them)
- Ministry Focus Setting
- Listed Setting
- Department Setting
- Group Leader Privileges
- Group Member Privileges
- Group Participant Communication Defaults
- Group Meeting Day (We only sync group attendance meeting day)
- Group Meeting Time (We only sync group attendance meeting time)
If a group is archived in GV, then it will be assigned the CCB Group Type you selected in the CCB add-on settings.
