How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Campaign Approvedtrigger

Fundraiser marks a campaign as live or a workflow tool. The automation is triggered and begins processing the prospect list.

2. Fetch and Segment Prospects

The automation retrieves the prospect list, applies segmentation rules based on giving history and engagement score, and enriches each record with segment assignment.

3. Personalise and Queue Emails

The automation selects the correct email template for each segment, inserts personalisation tokens (name, gift history, etc.), and queues the emails for scheduled send.

4. Send Campaign Emails

Sends the segmented emails on the scheduled date and time. Open and click events are captured automatically.

5. Log Interactions and Gifts

When a gift is received (via donation form, bank transfer, or manual entry), the automation logs the transaction, updates the donor record, and triggers a thank you email sequence.

6. Update Campaign Dashboard

The automation aggregates real-time metrics (emails sent, opens, clicks, gifts received, total raised) and updates a live dashboard or.

7. Notify Team of Key Events

The automation sends notifications when major gifts arrive, when engagement milestones are hit, or when follow-up actions are due.
