Now you can map your Givebutter campaigns to their appropriate Campaigns, Funds, and Appeals in Bloomerang. Each Givebutter campaign can be mapped to only one Bloomerang Campaign, Fund, and Appeal at a time.

Under the "Campaign Mapping" section, you'll see a list of your Givebutter campaigns.

For each Givebutter campaign you'd like to sync to Bloomerang, click the "Expand" button to reveal selection boxes for your Bloomerang Fund, Campaign, and Appeal.

Choose a Fund, Campaign, and Appeal to map your Givebutter campaign to and click "Save." Note: only a Fund is required to send data into Bloomerang. If a Campaign or Appeals does not apply, you can leave them blank.

That's it! You're all set. Your Givebutter data will now be synced to the appropriate places in Bloomerang. Please note that this will not automatically sync past data unless you run a Historical Sync.

Once you've successfully connected your Bloomerang account to Givebutter, you're ready to establish your Default Acknowledgment Status / Sync Zero Value Transactions Settings.

Default Acknowledgement Status is the acknowledgment status of the transaction after it's been synced to Bloomerang. If you plan to send an additional thank you message, you want to leave this set to "No." If Givebutter's automated receipt email works as an acknowledgment and you don't plan to send an additional thank you message, then you want to set this to "Yes."

The Bloomerang Integration will not sync $0 transactions to your Bloomerang database by default. However, if you hold free events and want that donor information in your Bloomerang database, set this setting to "Sync $0 Transactions".

These settings can be changed at any time.

Transactions for a campaign that has been successfully mapped will show an integration sync status in the Transaction tab.

A green circle indicates that the transaction has successfully synced over to Bloomerang.

A red circle indicates that a sync error has occurred. The most likely issue is that the mapping of the campaign is wrong, and you will need to refresh your Bloomerang Campaign, Fund, and Appeal.

If you create new or rename Campaigns, Funds, or Appeals in your Bloomerang account, you'll need to refresh your Givebutter integration to access those new fields and prevent a future sync error.

If you've already raised funds on Givebutter AND haven't manually added them to Bloomerang, you may want to send them to Bloomerang by clicking "Run historic sync."

If you need to disable the Bloomerang integration for any reason, you may do so by turning off the switch labeled "Enable syncing with Bloomerang."

My data isn't syncing. What's wrong?

First, click the refresh button to ensure the most up-to-date Bloomerang fields appear in the dropdown menus. Check to ensure you've mapped your Givebutter campaign to the correct fields in your Bloomerang account, then click save. Click the Blue "Run Historical Sync" button. If you're still not seeing your data in Bloomerang, please reach out to our team by clicking the chat bubble anywhere on our site or email [email protected].

How much does it cost?

The Bloomerang integration is free! If you have a Bloomerang subscription, you can connect your Bloomerang account to start syncing your data immediately. 😀

Why do covered fees sync over to Bloomerang as part of the donation?

Givebutter considers the total amount a donor paid as their donation. If a donor chooses to cover any fees, the total amount (donation plus covered fees) will be synced to Bloomerang. If you would like the option to split the payment between donation and fees, please upvote this feature request.

Limitations of the Bloomerang API:

Due to the nature of the Bloomerang API, there are a few things to be aware of.
