Yes. Breeze connects directly: you need your Breeze web address and the API key an administrator can copy from Breeze's settings, a code that lets Church Flow read your records there. Church Flow then pulls your people, with their families, and your giving across. Anything else, such as attendance and check-in history, tags and photos, stays in Breeze. Look over the rows, choose what to do with any possible duplicates, and confirm. Nothing is saved before that, and you can undo the import for 30 days. On the weekend you switch, pull again: anything new comes across, and records the first pull brought in are not added twice. If you get stuck, a person helps, free. The switching guide shows each step.
