Hello everyone, my name is Brit and I'm a product manager here at Tithely. I am working to ensure all Canny posts are most up to date and realized that this one was a bit out of date.

If you've been keeping up with the news on Elvanto and Tithely then you've probably heard of our new direction to build up the team supporting Elvanto and really put the focus back on making Elvanto a system that our churches are thrilled to use. This means we will be providing much anticipated updates to Elvanto that range from small improvements to totally new features!

Part of what helped us build this vision is some learnings and key takeaways we had from the People Sync (sync between Tithely People and Elvanto). Unfortunately, we learned that continuing with the approach of trying to keep two totally separate systems in sync just isn't the best path for our customers, due to technical complexity and risk for data corruption. After exploring the problems and the sync’s impact on the Tithe.ly product suite, we are not going to be re-activating it but rather putting work into a better, and more sustainable fix to this issue. Instead of the sync, we have begun work on having one single source of truth across our products that all draw on the same people information.

At this point we are not planning to pursue an automated sync or integration between Tithely Groups and Elvanto Groups.

If you voted on this post because you are interested in a CSV upload option in Tithely Groups, you can vote for that idea here: https://tithely.canny.io/people/p/mass-upload-into-groups

Thanks so much for your time and for being a part of the Tithely family of churches!

The team is well underway on this task and you can expect to be able to bring your Elvanto Groups over to Tithely People/Messaging very soon.
