# CCLI integration

ChurchTools supports your congregation in maintaining its song library with the CCLI ^SongSelect® integration. This allows you to search for songs in the CCLI database and download lyrics and chord sheets and save them in ChurchTools. You can find out exactly how this works [here](https://staging.churchtools.academy/de/help/churchtools-modules/songs/0-songs/).

With [CCLI® Auto-Reporting](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/system-settings/ccli-songselect-en/ccli-auto-reporting/), you can have sung songs automatically registered to CCLI. After activating the function, **songs scheduled in the Agenda** are automatically reported to CCLI 7 days after the event. This gives you enough time to correct spontaneous changes after the event at Agenda.

To be able to use the CCLI ^SongSelect® integration, you need a [CCLI ^SongSelect® subscription](https://ccli.com/de/de/songselect/).

## Integration of CCLI ^SongSelect®

You can integrate your CCLI ^SongSelect® account in the system settings under *Integrations > CCLI*:

- To use CCLI ^SongSelect® with ChurchTools, you must first create a CCLI SongSelect® account via the CCLI ^SongSelect® website Account. If you already have a CCLI Account, you can skip this step.
- Click on "Connect to CCLI..." and confirm the redirection to the CCLI ^SongSelect® website.
- Enter your access data on the CCLI ^SongSelect® website.
- Confirm that ChurchTools may use your CCLI ^SongSelect® access.

You will now be automatically redirected back to ChurchTools. Your CCLI ^SongSelect® account is now connected to your ChurchTools and can be used.

**Wichtig**

Die CCLI Lizenz muss aus Sicherheitsgründen in regelmäßigen Abständen erneuert werden. Dazu einfach unter *Integrationen > CCLI*die Integration deaktivieren und erneut aktivieren. Dieser Vorgang muss einmal pro Jahr durchgeführt werden.

> ## ^CCLI® Auto-Reporting

Since many of you use CCLI and therefore regularly register the songs sung to CCLI, we have added [CCLI Auto-Reporting](https://staging.churchtools.academy/en/help/system-settings/ccli-songselect-en/ccli-auto-reporting/) with v3.92. If this function is activated, all songs scheduled in the Agenda are automatically reported to CCLI 7 days after the event.
