Public Integrations & Messaging Bots
Connect Kononia to your existing website, calendars, and messaging platforms. Our public integrations allow you to share calendars, stream form entries, and send instant notifications to your ministry teams.
1. Public API and Website Widgets
Extend Kononia features directly onto your parish website:
- Public Calendars: Share service schedules, event lists, and Sunday School calendars with the public.
- Embedded Forms: Display registration pages and feedback forms directly on your custom website pages.
- Authorized Keys: Parish administrators generate secure, custom API keys to connect external widgets without exposing private member databases.
2. Telegram Bot Notifications
Keep clergy, board members, and volunteer leaders updated in real-time:
- Instant Alerts: Connect a Telegram bot to receive notifications for urgent events, such as hospital visitation assignments, confession booking requests, or facility schedule conflicts.
- Secure Activation: Leaders link their Telegram accounts securely by pasting a personal authentication code generated in their portal settings.
- Adjustable Alerts: Toggle notification preferences to control which alerts are sent via Telegram instead of email or in-app feeds.
3. Rate-Limiting & Security Controls
We protect public endpoints to keep your website widgets fast and secure:
- Spam Protection: The system limits the number of form submissions or calendar queries from single IP addresses to prevent abuse.
- Automated Threshold Warnings: If a public form receives an unusual spike in entries, the system temporarily throttles submissions and alerts parish administrators to verify the source.
- Data Protection Policies: Public API tokens only grant read-only access to specifically configured public datasets (like public events), ensuring private profiles are never accessible.
