How to Send Charitable Data to SlickText

SlickText is a SMS marketing platform. Every Charitable donation record should flow into SlickText automatically. This guide shows how to set that up in five minutes.

Skip the automation middleman

Rather than routing data through a third-party cloud, AFI sends it directly from your WordPress server to SMS marketing. No task meter, no monthly bill.

What you will need

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

Connect SlickText to AFI

1. Log in to your SlickText account.
2. Go to Settings → API and copy your API Key.
3. In WordPress, go to AFI → Settings → SlickText.
4. Paste the API Key and click Save Changes.

Setting up the integration

1. Create a new integration

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

2. Pick your trigger

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 SlickText as the destination

Choose SlickText from the platform dropdown and pick Add Subscriber. This opts in a contact to a SlickText textword list.

4. Map fields

Match each SlickText 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 SlickText 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 phone number (E.164 format) to SlickText with unlimited records. Pro adds custom field mapping. No per-record fees on any plan.

Frequently asked questions

Which Charitable events trigger the integration?

AFI fires when a donation is made through a fundraising campaign. This covers new submissions and relevant status changes.

Will adding this slow down my site?

No. AFI sends data to the destination after the event completes. Your site performance is not affected.

Can I send data to multiple platforms?

Yes. Create a separate integration for each destination, and every record flows to all of them simultaneously.
