4. Set additional mappings (optional)

This native integration takes care of all required mappings for you, including Donorbox campaigns, donations, supporters, and recurring donations. However, 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.
