Every donor can now get a thank-you email as soon as you record their gift, worded the way you want for each campaign.
Write your thank-you once. In Email > Automations, start from the Gift Thank-You template. Its email can show the donor's name, the amount, the date, the fund, the campaign, the payment method and a tax receipt line with your EIN. Switch it on when it reads the way you want.
Choose where it is used. On Donors > Campaigns, pick a default thank-you email for every gift, and give a campaign its own thank-you, such as a capital campaign. A gift uses its campaign's thank-you first, then your default.
Sent once per gift. Each gift is thanked once, and the gift is marked as acknowledged with the date. A donor who gives again gets a new thank-you for the new gift. Donors who opted out of email or unsubscribed are never emailed, and imported gifts are never thanked.
Your call, gift by gift. When you record a gift, a Send thank-you email box shows whether this gift will be thanked. It is on when a thank-you email applies and the donor can receive it. Turn it off for a gift you already thanked in person, a correction or a batch from a paper ledger, and no email goes out. When the donor has no email address, opted out or unsubscribed, or no thank-you email is set up, the box is off and says why. A donor's giving history shows each gift's thank-you: thanked on a date, queued, won't be thanked, or not thanked. To thank a gift later, open it and choose Send thank-you now.
Online gifts already get an email receipt, so they don't get the thank-you unless you turn on Also send the thank-you for online gifts on the Campaigns page.
