Ministry Platform to eSPACE for FACILITeSPACE Integration

Ministry Platform and eSPACE Integration 

 This integration was designed by both companies so that customers can continue to use Ministry Platform to enter all their events and then have eSPACE Event Scheduler automatically "pull them in" so customers can also use eSPACE FACILITeSPACE integrations to have their event automatically schedule their HVAC, doors and digital signage displays.

• Learn more: Getting Started with FACILITeSPACE
• Please check with sales or support first to make sure your HVAC company and/or door company is one of the companies that we have a partnership with BEFORE adding to your subscription.

• 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 few 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.
• 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.
