What Data Syncs
Two directions—and you stay in control of what moves.
Planning Center → CareNote

Care notes sync back—privately
Planning Center's default notes can be seen broadly, and care details put there can quietly become gossip. CareNote writes synced notes into a dedicated CareNote category that only your administrators can see. So when someone records that a couple is separating or a member is in the hospital, it syncs back to Planning Center without exposing it to your whole church.
Your data is yours—even if you leave
Because your people, your notes, and your care history sync back into Planning Center, you're never locked in. If you ever stop using CareNote, the care record you built is still sitting in your PCO. You used CareNote to run the ministry—you didn't hand your data to a system you can't get out of.

"The CareNote integration with Planning Center was so simple, in seconds we had access to all our PCO people."
