Charitable | Newsletter Connect

Description

The Newsletter Connect addon adds an opt-in checkbox directly to the Charitable donation forms, automatically enrolling the donor into the configured email-marketing provider’s list upon successful completion of each contribution. The extension is suited for NGOs, churches, and fundraising projects that need to turn every donation into a gateway for regular, segmented communications with their supporter base.

  Connects with platforms such as Mailchimp, MailerLite, Campaign Monitor, and ActiveCampaign, among others.
• Automatic synchronization
  Enrolls the donor into the email list at the moment the donation is successfully processed.
• Campaign-by-campaign configuration
  Allows enabling or disabling newsletter enrollment individually for each Charitable campaign.
• Field mapping

Benefits of the Newsletter Connect

• Organic list growth
  Each completed donation can generate a new subscriber without additional steps for the supporter.

Who Is the Newsletter Connect Recommended For?

• NGOs and non-profit entities that use Charitable for fundraising and need to maintain regular contact with their donor base.

• Fundraising campaign administrators who want to automate donor enrollment into email-marketing lists without manual configuration.

How to Download the Newsletter Connect

The Newsletter Connect is available for download on this Ultrapack page. After downloading the .zip file, install by going to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the file and activate it. The newsletter feature will appear in each campaign’s settings after activation.

For organizations that already use Charitable and seek to engage donors beyond one-time contributions, the Newsletter Connect eliminates the need for external lead-capture tools. Each registered donation can generate a new subscriber in the email list, keeping the relationship with supporters active without manual team intervention.
