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.

We recommend using the Zapier Professional plan or higher to avoid limitations and ensure reliable automation.
