Duplicate Matching (continued)
For example, if you bring in a record from John Marsh, the following matches may be displayed:
When potential duplicates are identified, you can choose one of three processing options:
Insert as New – Creates a new donor record.
Hold – Not ready to bring into DonorPerfect Online (e.g. typed in all CAPs, incorrect data, etc.). This will place the record back into the pending column for review and edit.
Update – The selected record in DonorPerfect Online will be updated with the new information. The gifts will be added to the records gift history.
Order Management System* (DonorPerfect Online Only)
We can now create Items that are stored as an Order Record (O), and tagged as an Order Type in DonorPerfect Online. Previously, you could only bring in a Pledge (P) or Gift (G). Now, if you provide promotional items and you have the Order Management Module, you can bring these items into DonorPerfect Online and properly categorize them.
Note: This is considered a complex form which will require a price quote.
DonorPages Integration
WebLink works in conjunction with
DonorPages, our new social network fundraising tool that allows your constituents to create web pages under your control, and then contact their social network to collect donations, registrations and more.
We improved the overall integration between DonorPerfect, WebLink and DonorPages by modifying our backend data storage of registration data. This data is now stored in "Other Information", which will allow DonorPerfect to keep a historical account of a fundraiser's activity.
An example of how you can use this information is to generate a list of everyone who set up a special event team page last year, and invite them to participate again this year.
Data Tracking via Query String*
Information can now be passed as part of your WebLink URL to automatically populate fields on your form. For instance, you can improve your campaign tracking by including data about the solicitation source or the page that a donor was on when they clicked to give a donation. Those clients with appropriate technical skills can even create custom URLs that pass along demographic information such as the name and address, which pre-populates the appropriate fields on the form, and reduces donor data entry time. This data can be placed into fields that may be either visible or hidden on your form. The following example shows how the source of this prospect (HOMEPAGE) will be brought over:

Please Note: There are currently some limitations on passing data into gift records.
