Constant Contact Release

We’ve updated the Constant Contact integration with DonorPerfect. This update has streamlined how information is shared between our two applications, making it a more intuitive experience for our users.

*When users first open Constant Contact through DonorPerfect post release, the user will need to re-authenticate. Please refer to our Knowledgebase for further instructions on how to do this.

• We know how important it is to you to make sure you have the latest information about your donors’ activity in DonorPerfect when you are building relationships and measuring your results. Now, the email campaign results for opens and clicks will update in real-time. 
• You now have the option to sync with all of your lists in Constant Contact or just the dynamic lists that automatically update from DonorPerfect.
• Based on your feedback, we simplified the sync so that all lists (dynamic and manual) will update Constant Contact with the latest donor information you have in DonorPerfect. 
• Now, you can sync an individual list on demand instead of waiting for a nightly sync to occur.
• Marketing automation can unlock incredible donor journeys that improve donor engagement and success without you having to send each email manually. You can now send your donors automatic and personalized emails based on DP data. For example, send all new monthly donors a series of 3 emails after they donate monthly through our DonorPerfect forms to welcome them and help them feel they have a special place in your sustainer community. 
• You now have more control for how much email campaign history you want to store in the DonorPerfect contact table. Simply choose any number of months, up to 2 years.
• You can now map up to 50 of your powerful custom fields from DonorPerfect to Constant Contact.
• Your donors are engaged if they are opening your emails but the best indicator is clicks. That’s why we’re now storing click data in DonorPerfect.

DonorPerfect Donation Forms 1.15 Release

We’ve made some exciting usability changes to our donation forms. Our new features were the most requested by our users, and this release also features some improvements and corrections.

New Features

• We have added text editors to the forms, allowing you to customize the font and other text formatting options.
• You can resize an image directly on the donation form.
• You can preview a form and submit test donations allowing you to see the donor experience. You can also preview the form from a mobile viewpoint to mimic what your donor sees when accessing your form from a mobile device.

Improvements and Corrections

• We are adding clear instructions and guidance (character limitations and exclusions) to creating custom URLs. 
• Donors completing a form will be instructed to enter information into name and address fields if they have not entered data. This will prevent donors from receiving errors when submitting a donation.
• We’ve increased the form name character limit to 500 characters. When you are within 50 characters of the limit, a remaining character count will generate to let you know you are approaching the limit.
• When you toggle on the option to include impact statements on your forms, placeholder text will populate on the form to clarify that you have selected this option.
• When a donor clicks on the phone number listed in the page footer from a mobile device, it will open the phone keypad, with the phone number already entered. If the donor clicks on the phone number from a desktop device, it will open any app designed to make phone calls.
• We have resized the review donation button to be smaller when donors access the form from a mobile device.
• If you change the color of a form, we will apply this color to the page footer as well to maintain a consistent color theme.
• We have increased the size of the impact statement text when donors access a form from a mobile device.
