Google Calendar Integration, Calendars for Members, & More

Breeze Church Management

Digital giving apps and tools

We're excited to announce some major improvements to the "Events" section of Breeze.  Historically our events section has related primarily to check in and attendance tracking and while those features are still there, we've added in additional options to make the events section a more powerful tool for scheduling and event organization.  Our updates are listed below.

Google Calendar Integration (and Outlook, Apple, & Others)

Breeze now supports integration with third party calendars, such as Google Calendar, allowing users to:

  • Have your Breeze calendar events show up on your Google Calendar
  • Have your Google Calendar events show up on your Breeze calendar

Some of the strongest benefits we see from this are:

  • Adding your Breeze events into your daily calendar schedule
  • Having an embedded Google Calendar on your website that includes your Breeze events
  • Having your mobile device (iPhone, iPad, Android device, etc) include Breeze events

If you've created multiple calendars within Breeze, you have control over which ones sync over and so you can perform tasks such as:

  • Sync public events to your church website calendar
  • Sync private events to your iPhone calendar

For details on how to get started, check out our documentation on external calendar integration.

iPhone/iPad/Android Calendar Integration

Our external calendar integration (above item) provides the ability for users to have their Breeze calendar show up on other calendars, including mobile device calendars, making it easy for your team to stay on the same page with upcoming events.  If you're using multiple calendars within Breeze, you can even pick which calendars sync over to your mobile device.  For more information, see our documentation on external calendar integration.

Calendar for Members

In the past, the "Events" section has been more of an administrative tool focused on check in.  While these features remain, we've expanded the user permission options so that you can give someone access to only view the calendar and look at event descriptions but not check people in, view reports, create events, etc.  This is ideal for members who you've given access to Breeze and you want them to see the calendar but they should not have the ability to check people in or view check in reports.

If you're using multiple calendars within Breeze you can even decide which calendars they do and don't have access to.  To set this up, all you'll need to do is edit the role permissions for the users you'd like to apply this to.

Multiple Calendars

While we officially announced this a few weeks back, in case you missed it you can now create multiple calendars within Breeze and give users access to specific calendars.  For more information, view multiple calendars in our documentation.

Event-Specific Descriptions

In the past our events were set up so that an entire event series shared the same description.  As we shift to have events be a more powerful scheduling tool, we've updated descriptions so that you can create an event series with different descriptions depending on the date.

 

We're excited about the increased flexibility these updates provide and we hope they are a great tool for you, your team, and those you serve.  If you see any room for improvement or are simply excited about one of these additions, we'd love to hear about it; feel free to leave a comment below.

All of our database needs have been more than met, it's easier to use than the last database we had, and the price is amazing - what a value this has been to our church! All of our staff can use this software and they do regularly. We use it to track…literally anything a church could possibly need to track regarding it's attenders.

Breeze has been a great asset to our church and congregation. Especially from an administrative standpoint, it has been the most adaptable and easiest church database I have ever used. The features from blast emails to giving on-line, and texting have been one of our greatest assets. Thank you!

We switched from a major, web-based ChMS to Breeze and our decision is confirmed every day. We are a medium size church and we use Breeze for contributions, member management, event checkin and a few other applications custom to our church. I had trouble getting any staff to use our previous ChMS but almost all staff are using Breeze. The product is very well designed, extremely easy to learn and use and customer service is incredible.

Breeze has opened the communication highway for our congregation and staff, with very little training. Because members can update their own records and search easily for other members - and map their locations, send emails and text right from Breeze, they love it and our data is more real-time accurate. Our ministries are stronger, because they can trust the data in Breeze, which is easily accessed anywhere, anytime.

Breeze is the first ChMS my volunteers have actually embraced. That's because it's so easy to use. The software is very flexible and gives us the opportunity to make decisions based on actual data we've collected and not just hunches or stories we believe to be true.

I cannot say enough about Breeze. Their customer service is so friendly, you feel like you have friends and family helping you get started, they're prompt to reply and will do whatever they can to help you get things sorted out. It's been so easy to learn, our staff is loving it and best of all even our staff who are not computer savvy find it a breeze (pun intended). We are just thrilled by our choice.

From the start of our process looking for an online solution, Breeze has exceeded all our expectations. Fast data import, fast and friendly customer support, and we can’t say enough about how much we like the program itself. Very well designed and user friendly. On a scale of 1-10, Breeze gets a 15 from us!
