Gratavid and Blackbaud Announce Integration Partnership Streamlining Stewardship

Gratavid and Blackbaud announced today the availability of Gratavid on the Blackbaud Marketplace and integrations between the two environments to automate the stewardship process.

The direct connection between Gratavid and Blackbaud allows organizations to import constituent lists directly in Gratavid, automatically send impact and thank you videos after each donation, and send engagement data back into Blackbaud. Together, this partnership will help our mutual clients create more meaningful connections and share donors' impact through personalized video.

“

Blackbaud is known for their strength in the CRM industry, and this partnership offers strong support for our clients who have expressed considerable interest in automating the stewardship process. We've been extremely impressed with Blackbaud's product team and resources throughout the integration process, and couldn't be more exicted to be an official ISV partner."

Will Trapp, CEO
Gratavid

Here are three highlights from the integration.

1) Automatically send videos after each donation

Create conditions and rules to determine how your team should thank a donor after every gift. For example, automatically send a generic thank you video if the gift is less than $500. If the gift is more than $500, create a Gratavid task and automatically assign the task to the Blackbaud constituent assigned fundraiser. To learn more about Gratavid tasks, watch How To Create a Personalized Video For a List of Contacts.

2) Import constituent list

Create constituent lists in Blackbaud using any giving, event, or other filters and then import the list directly from Gratavid. No spreadsheet or CSV required.

3) Send engagement data back into Blackbaud

Automatically update a constituent record when a video is watched, replied to, or sent.
