Kidddo

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.

​

How Kidddo Welcome Party works

1. A child scans their badge or tag at the Kidddo check-in station
2. Kidddo sends a webhook to LightLoop instantly
3. LightLoop pushes the greeting to subscribed Apple TVs over WebSocket
4. The Welcome Party overlay appears on screen immediately
5. The overlay auto-dismisses after the configured duration

​

Setting up Kidddo Welcome Party

​

Step 1 — Create a Welcome Party item

1. In the Media library, click Add Monitor → Welcome Party
2. Select Kidddo as the source
3. Configure the display:

4. 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

1. Log in to your Kidddo admin panel
2. Navigate to Settings > Use Label Printers > Printer Name
3. Paste the LightLoop URL in the Webhook URL field
4. If the Remote Printer Name field cannot be empty, if you’re not using a printer simply enter any value in that field to activate the Webhook.
5. Test the trigger by clicking the Print Test Label button

Kidddo will now send a POST request to LightLoop whenever a child checks in, including the child’s name and photo.

​

Step 4 — Add to a Feed

Configure a Welcome Party on any 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 custom background gradient or color
• The configured sound effect plays once

​

Testing the integration

To test without a real check-in:

1. In the Welcome Party item detail panel, click Send Test Greeting
2. Enter a test name and optionally a photo URL
3. Click Send — the overlay should appear on any connected Apple TVs within a second

Kidddo vs. Planning Center

Use Kidddo if your organization uses Kidddo for check-in. Use Planning Center if you use PCO Check-In. Both produce the same on-screen experience — Kidddo is just faster.
