MortarStone

 

MortarStone can help you leverage your MP Donor data to create discipleship-driven analytics.

Initial Setup and Requirements

An account with MortarStone must be established before the integration with MinistryPlatform can be configured.

Integration Setup: In MP

Pro tip: Best Practice is to create a NEW Company Contact using the Add/Edit Company tool, and then create a NEW User for each Integration. Set up your Giving Provider API Client before configuring this integration. Be sure to grant the new API User Administrative rights!
  1. Go to Administration > API Clients
  2. Click NEW
  3. Enter MortarStone for Display Name and Client ID
  4. Enter a Client Secret. This is the 'password' used by MortarStone to access your MinistryPlatform database. We highly recommend using a password generator to have your Client Secret be very unique and secure.
  5. Select the Client User you created for this integration.
    • Note that whatever Client User you create/choose, they must have a Security Role with Administrator rights.
  6. Authentication Flow: Authorization Code, Implicit, Hybrid, Client Credentials, or Resource Owner
  7. All other settings can remain the same
  8. Click SAVE

Cost

There is no charge from Think Ministry for configuring the integration.

Fees from MortarStone will be assessed as per each church's individual contract agreement.
