Product Update: September 2020

Back to blog listing

Below is a brief roundup of what has just been released this month.

New Features

Triggers

Triggers is an extremely powerful addition to Donorfy that lets you define a condition and its outcome, for example when a donation is added from a Trust a Supporter Journey campaign in MailChimp is initiated.

Triggers can be found under Data Management > Triggers

The trigger types span addition and updates to constituents, transactions, activities, RPIs, scheduled or manual (e.g. clicked action in Donorfy).

Triggers are available for all Donorfy subscription plans:

Essentials - a maximum of 3 Triggers
Professional - unlimited number of Triggers

More complex Triggers can be created to run more custom tasks, updates, etc, however, these will require a stored procedure and as such, would be only available to those Donorfy clients with their own Azure server.
