Planning Center to eSPACE for FACILITeSPACE Integrations- Old Version
This integration was designed by both companies so that you can continue to use Planning Center to enter and manage all your events and then have eSPACE “pull” your approved events for our FACILITeSPACE integrations. As events are approved in Planning Center, your HVAC, doors and/or digital signage displays can automatically be scheduled for events!

- Please know that all of these are a 1-way sync to eSPACE (not from) and because of their purpose, the integration is specifically designed to continuously sync every 30 minutes and to only bring over the space names and a few days of events at a time with minimal information so that FACILITeSPACE knows which thermostat/HVAC unit, door or digital signage display to update.
- If events in Planning Center have a set up and/or end teardown time, then eSPACE will sync in the "Overall Time," and you will see that entered in the start time and end time fields on events in Event Scheduler.
- Once the data syncs to eSPACE, no changes should be made in eSPACE. For simplicity’s sake and to ensure that the integration works, ALL changes should ONLY be made in your original ChMS system.
