Looking for an API developer to link Altru to CampSite a summer camp registration program

Ashley Kineon

Has anyone developed an API (Application Programming Interface) to link constituent records and transactions with an outside camp management system? We are using CampSite to manage all data for our summer camp but we want to connect it to Altru so that constituent records are updated as well as associated transactions. We are looking for an API developer with Altru experience. Thanks in advance

I am looking to do something similar, but is there an Altru API? I haven't been able to find documentation anywhere so far in my search.

I'm not aware of any (we only use an API for email), but can I ask why you aren't doing summer camp in Altru?

Ashley Kineon

Camp site enables us to manage medical forms and documentation as well as a more robust communication platform. It is designed to manage all things camp related and does it better than Altru, not to mention its far more intuitive so summer camp staff can use it as well.

Hi Allen, Let me know if you come up with something…I may have found at least part of a solution via Campsite but not sure if there is the corresponding API functionality on the Altru side. stay tuned…I will post if we come up with something.

Gotcha, thank you Ashley.

I'm always curious to know why people choose to not use their system of record and will run sales/programs through other systems that don't communicate with their database. We handle all of our medical forms in Altru during registration and our Education staff also knows how to look up that information in Altru.
