Once you have the API key copied, you’ll need to paste that into Roll Call. Expand the Events menu and click on CMI Event Sync.

From this window, paste the API code into the API Key field. Then click the TEST button to make sure that Roll Call and Count Me In are communicating properly.

Synchronizing an Event

When you are ready to pull in event data, expand the events menu and click on CMI Event Sync. Click on the EVENTS TO RETRIEVE button and select either Live, Ended or All Events. A list of all your events will be displayed in the grid below. To sync and event:

  1. Select a default Family Position for each person that will be added to your Roll Call database. If the event is a children’s event, make the Family Position “Child”. If the event is an adult event, make the Family Position “Adult”.
  2. Check the box under the Selected column, for each event you’d like to sync.
  3. A window will be displayed allowing you to map the CMI registration fields to the Roll Call fields.
