Would be great to build out an API, to allow the community to create custom Proclaim add ons. Would certainly allow faster development, and a wide variety of options!
Most valuable thing which could be adds initially, enabling other features to be added, is GET commands. For example: What type of item is the current/next slide. On Air status. Also useful is API commands sent on particular slides/actions a bit like MIDI currently is. This can allow people to integrate with video gear controls, which will be useful for a large majority of churches.
Agree with @James Wright about how valuable it would be to get more status information from Proclaim, and on greater flexibility of outgoing integrations from Proclaim to other packages.
Would also be really interested to know what sorts of custom Proclaim add-ins @Robert Weir is envisaging.
@James Wright @Richard Huss, Love that. Based on previous feedback, and extending the above, extensibility would be the end goal.
Something like the following:
A fuller public API (or SDK/extension framework with read/write access, events/webhooks, authentication, and documentation) could unlock massive value. Innovation could increase exponentially with community solutions.
Im sure there is a lot more that people could come up with with all the varied community needs.
Gosh, that is… a wide-ranging vision.
Honestly, for me personally, the keys are real-time status & event stuff, which is pretty essential. The ability to create custom "scene" types to supplement the existing outgoing MIDI functionality would be extremely welcome.
I hadn't thought as widely as you have, though (as the users of a ChMS whose planning module doesn't integrate with Proclaim!) the ability to read/write service plans programmatically would open up some fascinating possibilities.

Some things that would be desirable to me. I like how we can adjust the lyric layout to appear different on the live stream. However, when we Switch Song to update for the following week, if any changes were made on the Live Stream tab, those lyrics stay there instead of updating to the new song. Can the lyric layout be…
It would be great if Proclaim had support for other licensing agencies than CCLI, particularly OneLicense, which is the other big licensing agency. OneLicense wouldn't bring in text like CCLI does, but in the place where it says "CCLI License Number" if we could simply and easily switch that on songs to other licenses and…
Would like a way to add live AI generated closed captioning to our live in-house service via Proclaim as a lower 3rd (or similar) or be sent as a separate output to a separate monitor/TV for live in house worship service. Audio would be coming into proclaim computer using a mic feed from the sound board. Functional desire…
Please add an option that allows for the end user to avoid being prompted with the message, "The current slide has been modified. Show updated slide." This prompt was added recently this year (ie. 2025). Unfortunately, for our use case, it reduces that time when a scripture displays during the middle of the service. In our…
Can we add the ability to sort by name in the media browser? The options there are helpful ( Best match, Trending, Most Popular Newest, rating), but they do not help me with my personal media which is identified by name. Adding the ability to sort by name and by file name would be immensely helpful.
