Features in this article may not be included in every Funraise plan.

Zapier is an automation tool that can receive data and then conduct tasks in 1000+ apps based on that data. For example, you might want to create a Slack donation bot that sends a message to a channel when a new Transaction is created.

Although Funraise does not have a native integration with Zapier, you can send Funraise Transaction data to Zapier each time a Transaction occurs through a Zapier Webhook. It's easy—no code required.

1. Click Make a Zap

2. Search and select Webhooks by Zapier

3. For Event, select Catch Hook > click Continue

4. Copy the Custom Webhook URL > next we'll paste this into Funraise

In Funraise, you will paste the Zapier Custom Webhook URL from above.

1. Navigate to Settings (click profile icon in top right) > Webhooks

2. Click the Webhook Signing Secret actions menu (3 dots) > click Generate

3. Click Edit to configure the Webhook details

4. Paste the Zapier Custom Webhook URL into the Funraise Webhook Target URL

The Contact Email is where we'll send a failure notice. If a Webhook connection fails, we'll retry for ~24 hours, after that we'll send an email to this address.

At this point it's a good idea to click Test. When you test a Webhook Target URL, we'll ping Zapier. Back in Zapier, you'll be able to see a successful trigger has occurred.

5. Click Save. You're all set with the Funraise configuration. You can now go to Zapier to complete your automation rules!
