Camino Updates - November 2024 through February 2025

We have been hard at work updating our system with new integrations and features that will help you in your business operations and evangelization efforts. Below you will find all new updates in the Camino system from November 2024 through February 2025.

Virtus Integration
For those who use Virtus at your parish or diocese for tracking safe environment information, we have now enabled an API with the Virtus program. This allows you to see all parishioners who are in the safe environment program, their compliance status, their documents and trainings dates, and more. You no longer need to keep track of these important dates in two separate systems or spend long periods of time updating records. The Virtus API updates every night and in real time when you click on a specific member.

Introducing Document Batches/Individual Tax Letters on the Household Screen
You now have the ability to run a report and create document batches, such as tax letters, and make these tax letters visible for individual households directly on their household screen. You no longer have to run a report with a specific ID number. These documents, which can include any document and not just tax letters, will now appear on the household level and are downloadable by word document or PDF.

Diocese Fund Total Details
If your diocese is using Camino for the Annual Appeal we can now show the specific donor detail of all contributions that were applied in credit to your parish. This has to be turned on at the Diocese level so please reach out to our customer service team to get this enabled. 

Add Mass Counts to Camino
You can now add Mass counts to Camino by creating your parish Mass times and giving a total count for any Mass or weekend. A report will be enabled so you can get this data out of the system and the diocese will have the ability to run the same report at their level for October Mass counts. You will need the proper access rights to view these new features. 

OSV Integration
We are happy to partner with OSV to offer a contribution API which will streamline your process for online giving at the parish. This API allows for you to pick a date range and click one button to import all your OSV contributions directly into Camino on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Forget manual entry or custom imports, we will handle the heavy lifting so you can focus on what matters the most.

New Picture Directory Report
We have enabled a report that automatically pulls the household picture you have stored in Camino. This gives you the ability to create a picture directory with basic contact information and print it off.Call our customer support to learn how to run this report at your parish.  

Improved Vanco Integration
For those customers using Vanco for your online giving solution, we have updated the API to now match on not only envelope number but also on the last name to ensure data integrity. If there is a case where the envelope number was entered incorrectly we will notify you of the error by showing that the last name in Vanco and the last name in Camino does not match. This update is automatic but if you have any questions feel free to reach out to our support team.

Download Funds and Activities
You can now download a list of all funds and activities at the parish or diocese level. This is helpful if you are trying to match funds between Camino and your online giving system or if you are ready to consolidate funds for accounting purposes.

Searching with accents
In the main household search bar you can now search using accents and it will pull up the matching information in the system.

Additional Member Assignment Information
Member assignment screens now include additional information on the member so you do not have to visit the member to learn more.
