Create Transactions from Enthuse Donations

When a donation is made in Enthuse, Donorfy automatically adds it as a transaction on the donor’s constituent timeline.

  1. Create a donation in Enthuse.

  2. Allow the integration to add the transaction in Donorfy using configured defaults and mappings.

πŸ“Œ Note:
If the referenced campaign does not exist in Donorfy, a new campaign is created automatically using the Enthuse campaign name.


Understand Campaign Matching and Creation

Campaigns are derived using a priority order.

  1. Use the campaign on the Enthuse donation if present.

  2. Otherwise, use the campaign on the associated fundraising page.

  3. Otherwise, use the Default Campaign from Enthuse integration settings.

⚠️ Important:
Campaign existence is checked using the Campaign Description. If missing, Donorfy creates the campaign and applies default Product and Fund values from Transaction Defaults.

Record Fees

Processing fees are captured when donors opt to cover them.

  1. Detect covered fees from Enthuse.

  2. Add the amount to Processing Costs on the transaction.


Apply Soft Credits

Soft credits recognise fundraising effort where applicable.

  1. Create a soft credit for 100% of the donation value.

  2. Assign it to the fundraising page holder.


If a donation is linked to both a personal and a team fundraising page, soft credits are applied to both page holders.


Handle Gift Aid

Gift Aid is managed end-to-end by Enthuse.

  1. Collect Gift Aid consent in Enthuse.

  2. Apply the claimed amount to the original transaction once received.

πŸ“Œ Note:
Report Gift Aid using the Gift Aid Amount Claimed field in transaction lists.
