Missionary contributions

[swoolstenh]

I am a member of a large family with a number of young missionary serving at any moment. We have established a Family foundation to help support those missionaries. I have developed an application to track all those missionaries. Is there any way to set up a web hook or API from my application to be able to post those contributions directly to the Church without having to enter them manually each month?

The site is https://HelpThemServe.com and I've made it available to other families. Login and create an organization for your family. Each organization manages its own staff, missionaries, and donations in a private workspace.

For each web-app or similar project, we allow a single announcement-type post. Please don't expect to conduct user support discussions and such in the Forum. Also, we allow such an announcement post only if the site or app has an option to use it free of charge. If an app changes to for-fee-only, we would probably hide the announcement.

The APIs behind the Church's web apps (LCR, directory, calendar, etc.) are considered closed and not available for use by external web apps. I would not expect the Church to allow an external app to perform donations. While it is possible to reverse engineer some of the APIs, I understand those who have been discovered to be doing that have had conversations with Church security.

It's also customary for web apps and the like that are external to the Church-supplied systems to add a disclaimer footer that the site is not an official site of the Church (or similar wording).
