Zapier
Connect Fundraise Up to thousands of other apps using Zapier
Zapier is an automation platform that lets you connect Fundraise Up with tools like Slack, Mailchimp, Salesforce, Trello, and many others. By using Zapier, you can build custom workflows that move data between apps automatically, based on triggers like new donations or supporter updates.
Zapier settings are managed from the Zapier integration page in the Fundraise Up Dashboard. The integration works in real time using webhook, sending new donations and recurring plans to Zapier as soon as they are created in your account.
Getting started
To use Zapier with Fundraise Up, you’ll first connect the integration in your Dashboard, then create Zaps in your Zapier account.
A Zap is an automation in Zapier that connects two or more apps to perform tasks when a specific event happens — like a new donation in Fundraise Up. For example, you can create a Zap that sends a Slack message to your team every time someone donates, or one that adds new recurring supporters to a Mailchimp contact list.
Requirements
- Access to your organization’s Zapier account.
- Admin access to your organization’s Fundraise Up account.
Connecting Fundraise Up to Zapier
- Go to Settings > Integrations in the Fundraise Up Dashboard.
- Click Add Integration, then choose Zapier.
- Click Connect to Zapier. You’ll be redirected to Zapier to log in and approve the connection.
- After authorization, you’ll return to Fundraise Up and see the integration listed as connected.
You can now create Zaps.
Creating a Zap
- In your Zapier account, click Create Zap.
- Search for and select Fundraise Up (2.0.0).
- Choose a trigger event — for example, New Donation or Updated Recurring Plan.
- Select your connected Fundraise Up account.
- Set up the action you want Zapier to perform, such as adding the supporter to your CRM or sending a Slack message.
- Save and activate the Zap.
You can create up to 10 active Zaps per Fundraise Up connection. Each Zap runs independently and listens for the specific type of update you selected.
Disconnection
You can disconnect the Zapier integration either from Fundraise Up or from your Zapier account.
From Fundraise Up
- Go to the Integrations tab in the Dashboard.
- Find the Zapier integration and click Disconnect.
- This stops data delivery and deactivates all connected Zaps.
From Zapier
- Go to your Apps section in Zapier.
- Find Fundraise Up and click Disconnect.
- This sends a request to Fundraise Up to stop data delivery to all connected Zaps.
Zaps from Fundraise Up
You can set up automations in Zapier using trigger events from Fundraise Up. When a trigger is activated — for example, when a new donation is made — Zapier receives the data and passes it to the connected app.
