Integrations & workflow
Eutepio does not plug into third-party services. It works with them through open file formats — duller, but it keeps working when the other side changes its API tomorrow or shuts down.
The approach
ℹ
The app has no API, no webhooks, no plugins and no community song database. It talks to no external service apart from the two exceptions described in Architecture.
Everything in and out goes through files. That has three consequences:
- You never have to create an account anywhere.
- Nothing breaks because a third party discontinued a service.
- Transfer is manual — nothing syncs in the background.
ChordPro as the common language
ChordPro is a text format understood by most band repertoire apps. Eutepio reads and writes it, which makes it the most dependable route in and out.
In practice: if your current app can export ChordPro, you can migrate. That covers OnSong or Linkesoft's SongBook, for example. It does not mean Eutepio has special support for those apps — it simply reads the generic ChordPro they produce.
Supported extensions and details are in Export & import.
Migrating from another app
| From | How |
|---|---|
| SongBook Pro | Direct import of the .sbpbackup file — songs and setlists, including chord position rewriting |
| Any app with ChordPro export | Export to ChordPro, zip it up, import in one go |
| A website with ChordPro content | URL import — paste the address and the app tries to extract the content from the page |
| Paper | OCR scanning |
| PDF or MusicXML | Attach them to a song — they display in stage mode |
Sharing outside the app
When somebody in the band does not have Eutepio:
- PDF — export a song or a whole setlist and send it through the system share sheet
- ChordPro — save as a file, readable in any other app or even a text editor
- Setlist text — copy to the clipboard and paste into a message
.eutbackup— for somebody who does have Eutepio and wants your whole library
What does not exist
To be clear, these integrations are not in the app, and neither is anything close to them:
| Tool / feature | Status |
|---|---|
| Ultimate Guitar | Not supported. The generic URL import may work, but there is no dedicated support. |
| OpenSong | Not supported. |
| WorshipTools | Not supported. |
| Planning Center | Not supported. |
| ProPresenter | Not supported. |
| Community song database | Does not exist. |
| Public API / webhooks | Do not exist. |
| Cloud sync | Does not exist. Sync runs on the local network only. |
| Accounts and sign-in | Do not exist. |
Suggesting an integration
If a route you need is missing, tell us through the suggestions form. A useful suggestion includes:
- Which app or service you want to get data out of
- Which format that app can export to
- A sample file, ideally attached
Formats with an open specification and a file export stand a far better chance than integrations that depend on somebody else's API.
