Overview

To authenticate with Planning Center using a Personal Access Token, you will need:
  1. Client ID - The client ID from your Planning Center personal access token.
  2. Secret - The secret from your Planning Center personal access token.
Personal Access Tokens authenticate as a single user and are suited for scripts and internal tooling. If you need to distribute your integration to multiple churches, use Planning Center Online (OAuth) instead.

​
Prerequisites

  • You must be able to sign in to Planning Center and access the developer token management page.

​
Instructions

​
Step 1: Generate a personal access token

  1. Open Planning Center PAT management
  2. Click Create token.
  3. Copy the Client ID and Secret.
The secret is only shown once — store it securely before navigating away.

​
Step 2: Enter credentials in the Connect UI

Once you have your Client ID and Secret:
  1. Open the form where you need to authenticate with Planning Center Online (PAT).
  2. Enter your Client ID and Secret in their respective fields.
  3. Submit the form, and you should be successfully authenticated.
You are now connected to Planning Center Online.
