Church operations guide
Can AI Safely Scan Paper Connection Cards Into Planning Center?
Yes—when OCR is treated as assisted data entry, not unquestioned truth.
Safe pattern
Every uncertain field gets a checkpoint
Personal information
Do not auto-write low-confidence identity data
Names, email addresses and phone numbers are easy for OCR to misread and consequential for follow-up. Low-confidence fields must stop for human verification before submission.
Practical answers
Frequently asked questions
Does OCR eliminate human review?+
No. Human verification is part of the safe workflow, especially for names, email addresses, phone numbers and any low-confidence field.
Can a scanned card be submitted to Planning Center?+
Planning Center People supports external FormSubmission creation for relevant use cases. The exact customer workflow and current official capability still need verification during implementation.
