Why this helps
Giving ideas can get buried in research docs before you have time to look for suitable nonprofits.
- Turn a new giving idea into a nonprofit search.
- Keep the cause and search terms grounded in the document.
- Review candidates before deciding whether to donate.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Docs and Daffy once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation and name it for charity research.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify the cause and search terms in the new document, then search Daffy for matching nonprofits.
- 4Pick New Document Created as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real research document and review the results.
Questions about this workflow
Will this make a donation?
No. It searches for nonprofits and reports the results. A separate decision is needed before creating a gift.
What if the document does not describe a clear cause?
Tell Notis in the instruction to report that it could not identify a useful search instead of guessing.
