On the left of your screen, locate the “LGL API” link under “Advanced Integrations” and click it.
Here, you can generate your API access token and copy it to your clipboard.
3. Activate the Little Green Light integration on Donorbox
Return to your Donorbox account. From the menu on the left side of your screen, select the “Integrations & Add-ons” dropdown and click “Little Green Light.” Here, you can activate this add-on.

5. Set additional mappings (optional)
If you have additional data points you’d like to use, you can use this screen to map them to any of the relevant fields on LGL.
Across from each optional Donorbox field, there are two dropdowns for LGL. Select the object – Gift or Constituent – from the first dropdown, then select a relevant field for that object from the second dropdown. That specific Donorbox attribute will now be shared with the LGL field that you have selected.
This integration automatically maps your existing Donorbox campaigns to the campaign and/or fund on LGL with the same name. You can also manually map your campaigns by clicking the edit button if you don’t want to use the default mappings.
Then simply select the campaign and fund from the dropdowns and click “Update.”
Additional custom questions can now also be mapped to LGL fields. A dedicated section has been added to the campaign mapping page, allowing users to easily map and update these questions for each Donorbox campaign.
Any failed exports are logged on the same LGL integration page on your Donorbox account. They are also recorded in an email and sent as a daily digest to your Donorbox account admin.
