Integrating GiveNow with other applications using Zapier can streamline your workflows and improve your fundraising activities. Here’s how it works and why it’s beneficial.
1. Automated data transfer
Zapier acts as a bridge between GiveNow and more than 2,000 other applications. This means donation information, donor details, members, ticket purchases or remittances can be automatically sent from GiveNow to your CRM, email marketing platform, or any other tool you use (assuming it is one of the 2,000 Zapier works with). For example, when someone makes a donation through GiveNow, Zapier can instantly add their information to your mailing list or update their record in your database.
2. Real-time updates
With this integration, you get real-time updates without the need to manually import or export data. This is particularly valuable for managing time-sensitive information like new donors or event RSVPs, as everything is captured immediately. This keeps your communication timely and accurate, which helps build trust and engagement with your supporters.
3. Easy setup, no coding required
The best part is that Zapier’s integration with GiveNow is designed to be user-friendly. You don’t need a technical background to set it up — just a few clicks, and you can create “Zaps” (automated workflows) tailored to your needs.
For instance, if you want every donation to create a new entry in your CRM, you can easily set this up using Zapier’s templates. It’s a simple, effective way to enhance your operational efficiency without adding to your workload.
4. Error reduction
Manual data entry can often lead to errors or inconsistencies. By automating data transfers via Zapier, you can significantly reduce the risk of mistakes, ensuring cleaner data and more reliable reporting.
5. Improved fundraising efficiency
With less time spent on admin tasks, your team can focus more on nurturing donor relationships, developing campaigns, and improving overall fundraising strategies. This integration allows you to automate processes like sending thank-you emails, updating donor records, or even creating tasks in project management tools when donations reach certain thresholds.
In short, connecting GiveNow to other applications through Zapier brings better data accuracy, improved efficiency, and more time to focus on what matters most — strengthening relationships with your donors. To find out more about how Zapier does the transfer of data, see the Zapier article here.

PLEASE NOTE: GiveNow is committed to ensuring that all organisation and donor, member, and ticket purchaser data is stored securely within Australia. We do not use international servers for data management. However, it’s important to note that if your organisation chooses to use Zapier integration, data will be managed and stored on international servers, outside of Australia.
While this integration offers enhanced automation and efficiency, organisations should weigh these benefits against their data management preferences and compliance requirements.
