Kidddo is a children’s ministry check-in system that integrates with LightLoop for near-instant Welcome Party greetings. Unlike the Planning Center integration which polls for new arrivals, Kidddo pushes a webhook to LightLoop the moment a child scans — so the greeting appears on screen within a second.Documentation Index

How Kidddo Welcome Party works
- A child scans their badge or tag at the Kidddo check-in station
- Kidddo sends a webhook to LightLoop instantly
- LightLoop pushes the greeting to subscribed Apple TVs over WebSocket
- The Welcome Party overlay appears on screen immediately
- The overlay auto-dismisses after the configured duration
Setting up Kidddo Welcome Party
Step 1 — Create a Welcome Party item
- In the Media library, click Add Monitor → Welcome Party
- Select Kidddo as the source
- Configure the display:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Welcome message | Custom text shown under the child’s name (e.g., “So glad you’re here!”) |
| Display duration | Seconds before the overlay auto-dismisses |
| Sound effect | Bells, Cheer, Celebration, Fanfare, or None |
- Save the item
Step 2 — Get your webhook URL
After saving the Welcome Party item, LightLoop displays a webhook URL. Copy this URL.Step 3 — Configure the webhook in Kidddo
- Log in to your Kidddo admin panel
- Navigate to Integrations or Webhooks
- Add a new webhook and paste the LightLoop URL
- Set the trigger to Check-in events
- Save
Step 4 — Add to a playlist
Add the Welcome Party item to any playlist on your feed. It activates as an overlay — it doesn’t replace the normal content, it appears on top.What appears on screen
The overlay shows:- The child’s photo (from Kidddo)
- A large “Welcome, [Name]!” heading
- Your custom welcome message
- An animated background
- The configured sound effect plays once
Testing the integration
To test without a real check-in:- In the Welcome Party item detail panel, click Send Test Greeting
- Enter a test name and optionally a photo URL
- Click Send — the overlay should appear on any connected Apple TVs within a second
