About This Automation

Donor stewardship requires staff to manually extract donation details, draft personalized thank-the team letters, and log activity across multiple platforms. This fragmented workflow delays acknowledgment and creates inconsistent messaging.

Automation generates personalized thank-the team letters instantly, routes them for review, and logs all stewardship activity in a centralized record. Donors receive consistent, timely acknowledgment while the team focuses on relationship building.

Key features
Generate personalized thank-you letters that match your organization's voice and acknowledge the specific gift
Route high-value gifts to managers for review before sending
Send thank-you letters via email immediately or prepare them for printing and mail
Log all stewardship activity and donor responses in a centralized audit trail
Update donor records automatically with send dates and interaction notes

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Donation Receivedtrigger

A new donation is recorded with donor name, email, gift amount, and campaign source.

2. Extract Donor Data

The automation reads the donation record and extracts donor name, email, gift amount, campaign, and any custom fields.

3. Generate Personalized Letter

The automation composes a personalized thank-you letter using a template, inserting donor name, gift amount, and campaign-specific messaging.

4. Send via Email

The letter is sent to the donor's email address with a professional subject line and signature.

5. Create Print Job

A copy of the letter is sent, which prints and mails a physical letter to the donor's address on file.

6. Log Stewardship Activity

The automation records the thank-you send date, method (email and mail), and letter content for audit and reporting.

7. Update Donor Record

The donor record is updated with the thank-you send date and a note confirming stewardship completion.
