How to Send Charitable Data to Sendlane

Sendlane is a email marketing platform for managing subscribers and campaigns. If you want Charitable donation synced to Sendlane, you could pay for a cloud automation service. Or you could do it directly from WordPress. This is the direct route.

Why connect directly?

Cloud automation tools like Zapier charge per task and route your data through external servers. AFI processes everything on your WordPress site. No per-donation fees, no external dependencies.

What you will need

• A WordPress site with Charitable installed and configured.
• A Sendlane account.
• The Advanced Form Integration plugin (free from WordPress.org).

1. Log in to your Sendlane account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key and Hash.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

Go to AFI → Add New. Name it Charitable to Sendlane.

Select Charitable as the form provider. AFI fires when a donation is made through a fundraising campaign, giving you access to donor name, email, donation amount, campaign ID, and gateway.

3. Select Sendlane as the destination

Choose Sendlane from the platform dropdown and pick Add Contact. This adds a contact to Sendlane.

4. Map fields

Match each Sendlane field on the left to the corresponding Charitable field on the right. Common mappings include donor name, email, donation amount, campaign ID, and gateway. You can also use smart tags like {{_submission_date}}.

5. Add conditions if needed

Only want to send certain records? Set up a conditional rule based on any field value.

6. Save and test

Click Save Integration. Trigger a test event in Charitable. Check Sendlane to confirm the data arrived. If anything looks wrong, open AFI → Log to see the exact request and response.

Free vs Pro

The free version maps email, first name, and last name to Sendlane with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping and tag assignment. No per-record fees on any plan.
