At TouchPoint, we’re committed to making sure our church partners have the best tools to support their ministries. As part of this commitment, we want to let you know about an important update if your church uses the eSPACE integration. With our release tonight (March 10, 2025), there’s a small action needed on your end to ensure everything continues running smoothly.
eSPACE has informed us that their current API (v1) will be sunsetting in 2025, so we’ve updated TouchPoint to support the new Version 2 (v2), which uses JWT (Java Web Token). To complete the transition, you’ll need to take a few steps both in eSPACE and TouchPoint.
What You Need to Do:
✅ In eSPACE – You’ll need to generate a new API key. Here’s how:
An admin can navigate to their Profile by either:
Using the left-side navigation bar, OR
Clicking the person icon in the top-right corner of the dashboard and selecting Profile from the dropdown menu.
Scroll to the bottom and expand API Keys.
Once you have read the information on API Keys, choose Create New Key.
After clicking Create New Key, you can:
- Copy the new key and store it somewhere secure.
- Enter a description (e.g., a name for the key that makes sense to you, like “HR” or “Website”).
- Click Save | ⚠️ Important: You will no longer be able to see the full key after saving, so be sure to copy it first!
You can create as many API keys as needed. We recommend creating one for each system that requires API access, ensuring the same level of access as your login.
✅ In TouchPoint – Once you’ve generated your API Key in eSPACE, there is just one quick step in TouchPoint:
- Go to Admin > Advanced > Settings > Integrations > eSPACE.
- Locate the new eSPACE API Key field.
- Copy and paste your new API Key into this setting.
That’s it—you’re all set! 🎉
We appreciate your help in making this transition smooth. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out.
