Most powerful ways to connect Contacts+ and DonationAlerts
DonationAlerts + Contacts+ + Slack: When a new donation is received in DonationAlerts, the automation checks if the donor exists in Contacts+. If they do, a Slack notification is sent to a specified channel. If not, a contact is created and then the notification is sent.
DonationAlerts + Contacts+ + Google Sheets: When a new donation is received through DonationAlerts, the automation retrieves the donor's information and then retrieves the contact information from Contacts+ (if the contact exists). The donation information, along with contact details, is then logged in a Google Sheet.
