Automate Your Fundraising Efforts with Uncanny Automator

Automate Your Fundraising Efforts with Uncanny Automator

Last updated on

  • By

We’ve seen non-profits handling mundane tasks manually when they could be automated.

Every donation means manually updating your CRM. Every new donor requires copying their info to your email list. Every campaign milestone triggers a checklist of tasks you have to remember to do. It’s exhausting, time-consuming, and honestly? It pulls you away from what matters most -connecting with donors and growing your impact.

We want to make fundraising as easy as it can be!

That’s why we built the Uncanny Automator Integration for Charitable Pro (1.8.12)

Now, your fundraising platform actually works with the rest of your tools. Automatically. Without you lifting a finger.

When someone donates? Automator can instantly add them to your email sequence, update your spreadsheet, notify your team on Slack, and trigger a personalized thank you – all without you touching a thing.

No more manual work. No more missed follow-ups. No more switching between a dozen tabs.

Just smooth, automated workflows that let you focus on fundraising, not busy work.

What Uncanny Automator Integration Can Do

The Uncanny Automator Integration connects Charitable with 210+ apps and plugins, letting you:

  • Automate donor management: Automatically add donors to your CRM, email lists, or membership sites the moment they give
  • Trigger personalized follow-ups: Send custom thank you messages, certificates, or updates based on donation amount or campaign
  • Sync data everywhere: Keep your tools in sync without manual exports, imports, or copy-pasting
  • Create complex workflows: Build multi-step automations that would normally take hours of manual work

The magic happens through Automator’s simple recipe builder. You create automations in minutes by choosing a trigger (like when a donation is made) and connecting it to actions (like adding that donor to your email list). It’s point-and-click simple, but powerful enough to handle complex workflows.

What really sets Automator apart is its massive library of integrations. With over 210 connections available, you can link Charitable to Google Sheets, Slack, Mailchimp, Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp, and virtually every popular WordPress plugin you’re already using.

Uncanny Automator apps

The best part? Major platforms use 1-click connections, so you don’t need to mess with API keys or technical setup.

You also get smart conditions that let you run actions only when specific criteria are met. Want to send a special email only to donors who give over $100? Or add VIP donors to a specific list? Conditions make it possible.

Plus, with over 9,000 dynamic tokens available, you can personalize everything by pulling data directly from donors, campaigns, and form submissions.

Getting Started (It Takes 5 Minutes)

First, make sure you’ve updated to Charitable Pro version 1.8.12. You can grab the latest version of the plugin in the Download tab inside your Charitable account.

Then download and install Uncanny Automator on your site. The free version works perfectly for most nonprofits.

Now here’s where it gets really easy. Create a new campaign in Charitable or open an existing one.

Navigate to the Marketing tab and open Uncanny Automator. You’ll see a green button that says “Activate Uncanny Automator.”

Connect Uncanny Automator

Click that button and watch the magic happen. The integration activates automatically with no manual configuration needed on your part.

Once it’s done, you’ll see a green “View Settings” button that takes you straight to where you can start building your first automation.

Uncanny Automator view settings

Creating your first recipe in Uncanny Automator is simple. Choose a trigger like “A user makes a donation.”

Then add an action like “Add user to Mailchimp list.” If you want, set conditions to make it more specific. Save your recipe, and it runs on autopilot from that moment forward. Learn how to create recipes here »

That’s it. Your fundraising workflows are now automated, and you can get back to what matters most – raising money and making an impact.

Why You’ll Love This Integration

This isn’t just about saving time (though you’ll save hours every week). It’s about creating a donor experience that feels personal and professional – without the manual effort.

Get Time Back: Automate the repetitive tasks that eat up your day – data entry, email follow-ups, donor tracking – all handled automatically

Never Miss a Follow-Up: Set it once and every donor gets the right message at the right time, every single time

Connect Your Stack: Already using tools like Mailchimp, Google Sheets, Slack, WordPress users, WooCommerce, or hundreds of others? Now they all talk to Charitable seamlessly

No Code Required: Build powerful automations with a simple point-and-click interface. If you can use WordPress, you can use this.
