☝️ Campaign and fundraiser data requires an additional step
Once you're connected, and you've toggled on syncs, Transaction and Supporter data will automatically sync when transactions are created or updated. To sync Campaign or Peer-to-Peer fundraiser data, you'll also need to configure a connection for each specific Campaign Site. Read more about this below.
Test the integration
To test the Virtuous integration, we recommend creating a new offline Transaction. After saving the Transaction in Funraise, you should see a new Gift in Virtuous.
☝️ Virtuous processes bundled imports from Funraise nightly, so you can view a pending transaction, but can not access full data until you've imported the bundled import file.
Data synced with Virtuous
Funraise can sync Transaction, Supporter, and Campaign data with Virtuous.
Gifts in Virtuous can be seen in real-time on the Virtuous Transaction page. Although, Virtuous will process the full synced data from Funraise nightly and bundle the data into an import file. These import files will be visible on the Gift and Contact Import page in Virtuous as they are available.
☝️ Segment data (Campaign Site pages) is synced in real-time and is not processed through an import.
Transaction data
Funraise Transactions are synced with Virtuous Gifts

Virtuous Contact Reference IDs and Funraise Supporter matching
In Virtuous, Contact doesn't refer to individuals. Rather, Contacts represent groupings of individuals. Learn more about Virtuous Contacts.
As such, a Contact's Reference ID will depend on whether or not the Funraise Supporter is in a Household.
If a supporter does not have a Household in Funraise, their Reference ID in Virtuous is in the format SUP-{{SupporterID}}. For example, SUP-123
If a supporter does have a Household in Funraise, their Reference ID in Virtuous is in the format HOU-{{Household ID}}. This is so that Virtuous' reconciliation tool can better match individuals to the same household.
An individual in Virtuous can have multiple Reference ID's, so if a supporter is added to a Household later, their Virtuous record will have both a SUP-ID and a HOU-ID
Campaign & Peer-to-Peer fundraiser data
All gifts to a Funraise Campaign Site can be assigned automatically to a Virtuous Campaign, Campaign Communication, and Segment in Virtuous.
Funraise | Virtuous |
Campaign Site | Campaign
A Funraise Campaign Site can be connected with a Virtuous Campaign. |
Communication | Campaign Communication
A Virtuous Campaign Communication can be assigned to the Campaign Site. |
Fundraising Page | Segment
When a Campaign Site fundraising page (homepage, team page, or individual fundraiser page) is created, the page data is synced as a Virtuous Segment. Funraise will create segments automatically for each homepage, team page, and individual fundraiser page. |

Click to Select a Virtuous Campaign from the list.

Good to Know
Need all Funraise transactions to be synced with Virtuous Campaign details?
Any Funraise Transaction connected to a Campaign Site can be assigned to a Virtuous Campaign, Communication, and Segment.
For transactions that occur on a Funraise Campaign Site:
The Virtuous Campaign details are synced as described above.
For transactions that occur on your website (not on a Funraise Campaign Site):
As long as the transaction occurs on a Campaign Site Giving Form, no matter where the form is located, the transaction will be assigned to the Virtuous Campaign.
For example, if you have a general donation form on your website and you want donations to that form to be connected with a Virtuous Campaign, you can create a Funraise Campaign Site and embed that Campaign Site's Giving Form on your website.
When an online transaction occurs outside of a Campaign Site, but on a Campaign Site Giving Form, the Virtuous Segment will be set to Site homepage
.
For offline (check/cash) transactions:
When entering an offline transaction you can select the Funraise Campaign Site page (Page Goal) to assign the transaction to and this will sync the transaction with the Virtuous Campaign details configured for that Campaign Site.
Only new fundraiser pages are synced
Fundraising pages created prior to connecting with Virtuous will not be synced (as Segments), only pages created or edited after connecting with Virtuous will sync.
