Keeping your database clean is a pain. Donors love filling out forms in ALL CAPS, major gift officers love changing things that they shouldn’t change, and don’t get us started on all the third-party data that someone decided to import into the system long before you started working there.
It feels like a full-time job just trying to keep your data clean and organized.
But what if you had little automated helpers?
Join our database experts, Austen Brown, Lauren Ballew, and Stacy Cope, as they show off some clever automations you can use to start cleaning up your database today!
Just imagine…
- A single button that takes care of all 11 steps when you mark a donor as deceased
- A smart tagging system that automatically tags the members of your giving societies, tiers and clubs
- An automation that runs every night and correctly populates your nickname field so that your emails and letters look right
- A way to keep your alumni graduation years updated on both the child and the parent record – automatically
- Automations that scrub your phone numbers to delete duplicates and correctly distinguish mobile from land lines
Plus, we’ll have Austen spend some time sharing general best practices when it comes to keeping your database as clean as possible.
Work smarter, not harder and join us for this can’t-miss session!
