Importing your Planning Center Services plans is quick and easy, and can organizations time every week, so setlists aren’t being created twice. With the MultiTracks.com and PCO integration, Plan import can even be automated so plans will automatically import when they’re created in Planning Center.

Importing a Single Plan as a Setlist on MultiTracks.com
If importing a single plan as a setlist into Multitracks.com, follow the below steps. Alternatively, check out the article on how import plans directly in Playback here or you can bulk import multiple plans in a Service Type.
To import a single plan, navigate to “Import” under the “setlists” menu on MultiTracks.com. (Direct link here)
Select the Service type from the menu, and then select the individual plan you’d like to import.
Click Import Setlist to and then confirm the details of your setlist. You may need to link songs that aren’t linked yet, and confirm the date and time are correct. Then click CREATE to create the setlist on MultiTracks.com.
Importing ALL Plans in a service type
If multiple plans exist in a single service type in Planning Center, it might be more efficient to import these all at once instead of importing them one by one with the above method.
To import all future plans in a service type, navigate to “Service Types” under the Setlists account page (Direct link) and select “Import Service Type” with the PCO logo.
Secondly, select one or more service types to import from Planning Center and click “Next."
Note: This will import all currently-created plans and create MultiTracks.com setlists for each plan in each service type you select.
Manage the service times and confirm they’re accurate and choose “Import” to finish the import of the plans in that service type. If you’d like to auto-import every plan in this service type as a MultiTracks.com setlist, see Auto-Importing Planning Center Plans below.
Auto-importing all future Planning Center plans in a Service Type
When setting up “Service Types” on MultiTracks.com an option will be shown to “Receive Plan updates for Setlists in this Service Type.” Checking this will automate the import process so that every future Plan created in planning Center is imported as a MultiTracks.com setlist AND will keep make changes for you so when songs are changed in Planning Center plans, they’re also updated and changed in MultiTracks.com setlists (within that set Service Type).
These settings can be found within a Planning Center Service Type on MultiTracks.com under “Setlists” > Service Types (https://www.multitracks.com/premium/setlists/serviceTypes/).
