Automations

Put your follow-ups on autopilot

When a gift, ticket, membership or form comes in, GiveKit sends the thank-you, alerts your team and assigns the call. You set it up once.

Triggers and steps

Built around the moments that matter to nonprofits

Start from a gift, a failed payment, a ticket, a membership, a form or a volunteer shift. Then send emails, notify your team, update the contact, wait, or branch on the details.

  • Personalize with the donor's name, gift amount and more
  • Wait minutes, hours or days between steps
  • Post to Slack or Discord, or send a webhook
Test and track

Try it safely, then watch it work

Test an automation against a real gift or form response. Emails come only to you, and every other step shows what it would do. Once it's on, every run is logged step by step.

  • Safe test runs before you turn anything on
  • A log of every run: completed, waiting or failed
  • Pause or edit any time; changes go live when you publish
Ready-made templates

Start with what other nonprofits automate first

Pick a template, fill in who should get the alerts, and turn it on. Change any step whenever you like.

Thank every donor

A warm thank-you after each gift, with a special welcome for first-time donors.

Major gift alert

When $1,000 or more comes in, alert your team and assign a thank-you call.

Recover failed recurring gifts

Ask the donor to update their card and give your team a heads up.

Welcome form respondents

Thank people for filling out a form and label them in your CRM.

New member onboarding

Welcome new members right away, then check in a week later.

Win back cancelled members

A few days after someone cancels, send a kind note and follow up.

Event ticket follow-up

Label ticket buyers as attendees and let your events team know.

Volunteer shift confirmation

Confirm the details as soon as a volunteer signs up for a shift.
