This article explains how events sync once the eSPACE integration is enabled. To turn the integration on for the first time, see How do I enable the eSPACE integration?

When an event is submitted for approval in eSPACE, it is imported into One Church immediately. The event stays unpublished in One Church until it is approved in eSPACE, at which point it publishes automatically. The calendar each event lands on is set by the integration's options. See the Setting options section of the enable article for the details.

For events linked to eSPACE, these fields are not editable in One Church. Make the change in eSPACE instead, and it will sync back to One Church when saved.

Every other field on the event, including registration, attendance tracking, and custom fields, works the same as it does for any other event in One Church.

Because rooms and resources are managed in eSPACE for these events, you cannot submit resource requests for them in One Church. Make those requests in eSPACE.

An event synced from eSPACE opens with a notice reading "This event is partially managed in eSPACE. Readonly fields below can only be edited in eSPACE." Use the View in eSPACE link in that notice to open the event in eSPACE and view or change its resources. The Classifications box on the right carries the event's eSPACE identifiers and its current eSPACE status, such as pending, pending final approval, or approved.

The eSPACE event description, if there is one, appears in One Church wherever the event description is normally shown. You can add your own content using the HTML text editor, and your content appears before any eSPACE description text.

The Resources tab on a linked event lists every space, resource, and service requested in eSPACE. The tab is read-only in One Church, and the notice at the top confirms it: "The resource requests below are managed in eSPACE. To make changes, please do so from that system." Use the Manage in eSPACE link in that notice to make the changes there.

Resources you add in eSPACE appear automatically on the matching event in One Church.

Events linked to eSPACE cannot be deleted from within One Church. If you select one as part of a bulk delete, One Church skips it and tells you so. The One Church event is removed automatically when the event is deleted, cancelled, or declined in eSPACE.

If a single occurrence of a recurring event is cancelled in eSPACE, only that day is removed from the recurring event in One Church, and the rest of the series stays in place.

If the integration is disconnected, eSPACE events stay in One Church but are no longer linked.

Once enabled, the integration imports new and edited events from eSPACE in real time. To bring in events that already existed before the integration was turned on, go to Events > Calendar and select Import from eSPACE on the toolbar above the calendar, between the settings cog and Filter.

In the Import from eSPACE window, narrow what comes back using the Event Name, Date Range, Campus, and Categories filters, then select Search to see the matching events.

Events that have already been imported into One Church are greyed out in the results and cannot be selected. Choose the events you want, pick the destination calendar at the bottom of the window, and select Import Selected Events. Leave the calendar set to Use Default Calendar to follow the public and private calendar defaults set in the integration's options.
