Zapier gives you the easiest way to automate your work by automatically pushing CauseVox data into 4000+ popular apps such as Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Google Sheets, Salesforce, Bloomerang, Kindful, QuickBooks and more! This will make updating donors, nurturing fundraisers, communicating with event attendees and running a campaign easier and faster.

How to easily automate admin

Here are some of the things you can do by integrating CauseVox to other tools:

  • Nurture your donors and fundraisers automatically by sending over CauseVox contacts to your email newsletter service.

  • Your bookkeeper can save administration time by having your donation and ticketing data automatically transferred over to your CRM (ex. Salesforce) and accounting software (ex. Quickbooks).

  • Or you can keep updated on your campaign progress through notifications via SMS, email, and Slack.

You’re able to create triggers to pull CauseVox data into your application based on:

  • New Donation: Triggers when a new donation is created.

  • New Installment: Triggers when an installment is created.

  • New Pledge: Triggers when a new pledge is created.

  • New Personal Page: Triggers when a new personal page is created. This data may be incomplete as a fundraiser might not completely fill out their information on signup, so please use it in conjunction with the update trigger to receive full data.

  • New Recurring Profile: Triggers when a new recurring profile is created.

  • New Team Page: Triggers when a team page is created. This data may be incomplete as a team might not completely fill out their information on signup, so please use it in conjunction with the update trigger to receive full data.

  • New Ticket: Triggers when a new ticket is created.

  • New Ticket Order: Triggers when a new ticket order is created.

  • Update Donation: Triggers when a donation is updated. Please use it in conjunction with the create donation trigger to receive full data.

  • Update Personal Page: Triggers when a personal page is updated, aggregate information is updated (new donation that increases total, etc), or a team is joined/left. Please use it in conjunction with the new personal page trigger to receive full data.

  • Update Team Page: Triggers when a team page is update or aggregate information is updated (new donation that increases total, etc). Please use it in conjunction with the new team page trigger to receive full data.
