About connecting Claude đ¤
Givebutter has an official connector listed in Claude's Connectors directory. Because it's a pre-built connection, there's nothing to install or configure manually! You'll connect directly from Claude's settings and sign in with your existing Givebutter credentials. Once connected, you can ask Claude questions about your account the same way you'd ask a colleague, and it'll answer using your organization's live data.
Your Givebutter password is never shared with Claude.
How it works đ
Givebutter shows up as a ready-made option in Claude's Connectors settings. You don't need to add it manually or enter any technical details.
Connecting redirects you to Givebutter's sign-in page, where you choose which account to authorize if you belong to more than one.
Once authorized, Claude can read your account's live data (contacts, transactions, recurring plans, pledges, campaigns, teams, auctions, and messages sent) to answer your questions.
Connect Claude to your account đ
Open Claude and go to Settings. Select Connectors.
Find Givebutter in the list and select Connect.
You'll be redirected to Givebutter to sign in. Log in with your usual Givebutter credentials.
On the Claude authorization screen, you'll see a list of information shared with Claude. If you have access to more than one Givebutter account, choose which one this connection should use. Click Authorize Claude to connect.
Once authorized, Givebutter appears as a connected source in Claude.
On a Team plan without connector permissions? You'll see a Request button instead of Connect. Selecting it sends a request to your Claude workspace admin for approval.
Ask a question đŹ
Once connected, ask Claude a question in plain language. Some examples include:
"How much did we raise in the last 30 days?"
"Show me my top 10 recurring donors this year."
"Find contacts in California who gave more than $500."
"Break down donations by campaign for Q1."
Claude reads your account and answers directly. You don't need to log into the Givebutter dashboard at all.
Disconnect Claude âšď¸
To disconnect, remove the Givebutter connector from Claude's Connectors settings. Access stops right away, and there's nothing to action in your Givebutter account.
FAQ đ¤
What data can Claude access?
Claude can access the data in the Givebutter account you connect: contacts, transactions, campaigns, recurring plans, and more. It can only see what your own Givebutter login can see.
What can Claude do in my account?
Claude works with the same access as your Givebutter login and only within the permissions granted to the connection. It can never move money or process payments, and you can disconnect at any time.
How does authentication work?
You connect by signing in to your Givebutter account through OAuth. Your Givebutter password is never shared with Claude, the connection is scoped to a single account, and each teammate authorizes their own connection.
Is my data used to train AI models?
Conversations in Claude, including any Givebutter data it retrieves, are handled according to Anthropic's privacy policy and the data controls on your Claude plan. See Anthropic's privacy policy for details.
How do I disconnect?
You can disconnect anytime. In Claude, open Settings, find Givebutter under your connectors, and remove it. You can reconnect later by signing in again.
Where can I find more technical details about this connection?
See the Givebutter developer docs for the technical reference for AI Connections.
