We partnered up with MailChimp, one of the world’s leading email marketing services, to integrate their emailing services within DonorBox. This manual was made to guide you through a simple integration process that will allow you to easily sync your donors with your mailing list, without the trouble of having to manually export all of your donor data!
Please note that the MailChimp integration costs $8 a month. We believe this is a great value for a tool that will save you a lot of time.
DonorBox MailChimp Integration:
Go to the Donorbox MailChimp integration page.
Click on “Connect with Mailchimp”. It should prompt you to login to your MailChimp account.
You will find a list of all your campaigns. Select which one you would like to export to MailChimp.
Select a MailChimp list to export your donors to, and hit “update.” You can export donors to another MailChimp list too.
DonorBox will automatically export all of your new donors (depending on the campaign’s mailing list setting) to MailChimp every time a donation is received. If the camapign requires donor’s consent for mailing list, the donor has to opt for it. If the campaign has disabled donor’s consent for mailing list, all the donors are exported to Mailchimp. You don’t have to do a thing! But, if necessary, you can also manually export your donors by clicking one of the two buttons below.
You are now ready to send out MailChimp emails to your DonorBox contacts!
Please note that currently DonorBox will only export First Name, Last Name and Email of the donor to MailChimp.
Hello,
I am researching into setting up donation, payment, shopping cart, email, etc., as I am looking at the features, costs, and integration of all of them in order to set up a system.
I am wondering about integration with other email services besides Mailchimp, if and how this can be implemented, as manually moving customer data would be too cumbersome.
Thank You,
John Halderman
What data is exported, exactly? I see the FNAME, LNAME, and EMAIL field defaults, but is it possible to send MERGE fields to MailChimp as well? e.g., The amount donated, campaign, answers to questions, etc.
