Prepare a Daffy gift from an approved plan

Use a change to your giving plan to prepare the gift details you have already decided on.

Trigger

Document Updated

Triggers when an existing Google Doc is updated or modified. This trigger monitors Google Docs and fires when documents are updated.

Action

Search Non-Profits

Tool to search non-profit organizations by cause id and query text. use when you need to find nonprofits matching a search term or a specific cause.

Why this helps

An approved giving decision can stall when you still need to re-enter its details in your donor-advised fund.

  • Use recipient and amount stated in the updated plan.
  • Require explicit approval in the document before creating a gift.
  • Report missing details instead of filling them in.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Google Docs and Daffy once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation for approved gift plans.
  • 3In one instruction, tell Notis to create a gift only when the document explicitly marks the gift approved and contains the recipient and amount, otherwise report what is missing.
  • 4Pick Document Updated as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real approved plan and confirm the reported result.

Questions about this workflow

Will it infer that a plan is approved from wording like 'maybe'?

The instruction should require an explicit approval marker. Uncertain language should result in a report and no gift creation.

What happens if the plan lacks a recipient or amount?

The automation should report the missing detail and not create a gift.
