There are times when you need to integrate the services of another company into your website to extend its functionality.

For example, if you want to send email newsletters each month, you might use a company like Mail Chimp to manage your subscribers and send your newsletter. Or if you want to include online giving you might use the services of a company like Tithely.

To finish your website, we need to make sure we know which companies you use and have access to everything we need to set things up for you
