Trigger

New Contact Trigger

Triggers when a new Contact is Created in Salesforce.

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

A cause mentioned during an introduction can disappear into CRM notes before you explore it.

  • Start charity research from details on a new contact.
  • Keep the search tied to the contact that prompted it.
  • Review potential nonprofits without creating a gift automatically.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Salesforce and Daffy once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Tell Notis in one instruction which contact details indicate a cause and what search query to use.
  • 4Pick New Contact Trigger as the trigger and choose where run reports should go.
  • 5Test with one real contact that includes a relevant interest.

Questions about this workflow

What if the new contact has no cause details?

Tell Notis to skip the search and report that no search terms were available.

Will this workflow decide which nonprofit to support?

No. It returns search results for you to review; you choose whether a nonprofit fits your intent.
