Connect CountTrue with Planning Center to bring church attendance, volunteer engagement, check-ins and future group participation data into clearer dashboards and reports.

Bring attendance, serving, and engagement data together

CountTrue is building toward a reporting model that helps church leaders see more than a single Sunday total. The goal is to make attendance, volunteering, check-ins, and participation data easier to compare without turning CountTrue into a church management system.

Planning Center is the main integration provider shown here. Some areas are already useful today, while others are clearly marked as coming soon or planned.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Planning Center to use CountTrue?

No. CountTrue works standalone for attendance counting. Integrations are there to help churches bring selected data sources together when they want a wider reporting picture.

Can I use only some integrations?

Yes. Churches can use CountTrue on its own or connect only the parts that fit their current workflow.

Are volunteers included in attendance totals?

No. Volunteer statistics are reported separately so attendance and serving can be analysed independently.

Is Groups integration available now?

Groups is currently planned and marked as coming soon. We are building toward that reporting model, but it is not a finished integration yet.

Will more integrations be added?

Yes. CountTrue is being built to support more church data sources over time as the reporting model expands.
