Is there an API to automate "Send[ing] a Message?"

[amellis78]

Part of my responsibilities includes sending a weekly message to ward members across a few different services, one of them is email through LCR's "Send a Message." I'd like to locally set up a process where I aggregate the information once and fire up something that sends it out the different ways I need to send it.

So, can "Send a Message" be automated in some way? Are there APIs I can call to authenticate with the church site and send a message without manually digging around with a browser?

No. The Church does not release APIs outside the development teams for internal development and certain Church partners. The biggest driver for this restriction is for security and to protect private information.

Not even a basic web API that I could authenticate with for some token to send a message? That's a shame.
