### How does the Givebutter + POINT integration work?
We provide two integration options with Givebutter, and we highly recommend activating both! These integrations enable you to:
1. **Send Volunteer Activity data to Givebutter**, so you can maintain a comprehensive record of volunteer engagement alongside donor records.
2. **Add a Donate button to your organization's POINT profile**, linking it directly to your Givebutter campaign. This feature helps you convert volunteers into donors and keeps all your fundraising activity in one place.
### About Givebutter
[Givebutter](https://givebutter.com/) is the most-loved nonprofit fundraising platform, empowering millions of changemakers to raise more, pay less, and give better.
Nonprofits use Givebutter to streamline their fundraising efforts by replacing multiple tools with a single platform, including donation forms, fundraising campaigns, events, auctions, donor management, email, texting, and more. What sets Givebutter apart is its transparent tip-or-fee model, allowing nonprofits to access all of these tools for free thanks to optional donor tips.
By connecting POINT with Givebutter, you bring volunteer engagement data into the same place where you manage your donors. This gives you a full picture of who supports your organization, whether through giving, volunteering, or both.
If you don't yet have a Givebutter account, you can [sign up for free here](https://givebutter.com/) and then return to POINT to set up the integration.
### How do I set up the Givebutter integration?
If you already have an account with Givebutter, follow the steps below. If not, [sign up for a Givebutter account here](https://givebutter.com/) first, then return to POINT.
#### Step 1: Open the integration settings in POINT
1. Sign into the POINT Admin Dashboard.
2. Click **Organization** in the left menu, then select **Integrations**.
3. Locate the **Givebutter** integration card under the **CRM** and **Fundraising** categories.
4. Click **View** to open the settings.

#### Step 2: Send Volunteer Activity to Givebutter
To send your POINT contacts and volunteer hours to Givebutter, you need to enter your Givebutter API Key.
**How to get your API Key from Givebutter:**
1. Log in to your Givebutter account.
2. In the left menu, click **Settings**.
3. Open the **Developers** tab at the top.
4. Select **API** from the left sidebar.
5. Click **+ New API key** in the top right corner.
6. Enter a name for the key (for example, "POINT") and click **Create**.
7. Copy the API key. You'll only see it once, so store it safely.
**In POINT:**
1. Paste the API Key into the **API Key** field on the Givebutter Settings page.
2. Click **Connect**.
Once connected, you'll see a **Connected** status next to "Send Volunteer Activity to Givebutter", along with a confirmation that POINT will automatically send updates daily.
đź“ť **Note:** POINT automatically sends updates to Givebutter on contacts and volunteer hours daily. By default, the data updates in the middle of the night. You can see the date of the last synchronization and use the **Manually Update** button if you need to sync immediately.
### What data is sent to Givebutter?
Here's the information that POINT shares with Givebutter:
- **Contact Details:** first name, last name, email address, phone number, full address (street, city, state, zip code, country), and birthdate (if provided).
- **Volunteer Hours:** each volunteer hour record from POINT is sent as a separate **Volunteered** activity in Givebutter.
- **Activity Information:** for each volunteer activity, the date is recorded in the Activity Feed.
- **Contact identifiers:** POINT also sends a unique **Contact External ID** to Givebutter, so the same volunteer is reliably matched between systems without duplicates.
#### How will contact information and volunteer activity appear in Givebutter?
Once synced, your POINT contacts appear in Givebutter as **Contacts** (under the **Contacts** section in the left menu). Each contact is marked as **Individual**.
**Primary Details** on the Givebutter contact profile include:
- Email and Phone, with quick-action icons to send a message.
- Full Address.
- Birthday.
- Employer (this field is empty when synced from POINT, but you can add it manually in Givebutter).
- Contact ID (assigned by Givebutter) and Contact External ID (from POINT).
- Contact Since (the date the contact was first synced).
**Activity Feed** on the same profile shows the volunteer's activity from POINT:
- Each volunteer hour record appears as a **Volunteered** entry with the date.
- The feed also captures Givebutter-specific activity, like subscription to emails or text messages.
### Constituent Record Overwrite Rules
Control how POINT updates existing contact records in Givebutter during sync.
- **Overwrite constituent name information**
When enabled, incoming POINT records will update the first and last name on any matching Givebutter contact. Keep this off if Givebutter is your source of truth for name formatting.
- **Overwrite address information**
When enabled, address fields on matching contacts will be updated with values from POINT. Keep this off if your organization manages address data directly in Givebutter.
### Constituent Matching Criteria
Choose how POINT identifies existing Givebutter contacts when syncing records. If a match is found, the existing record is updated instead of creating a duplicate. If no match is found, a new contact record is created.
Select one of the following options on the Givebutter Settings page:
- **Email + Name** (Recommended) — most accurate, requires both to match.
- **Email address only** — matches any record with the same email, regardless of name.
- **Name only** — use with caution, may produce false matches for common names.
For accurate synchronization, each contact should include a first name, last name, and email address.

### How to add the Givebutter Donate Button
You can place a **Donate button** on your organization's POINT profile that links to a Givebutter donation campaign. When a volunteer clicks Donate on your POINT page, the Givebutter donation form opens directly, so they can give without leaving your page.

1. Log in to your Givebutter account.
2. Navigate to the **Raise** section in the left menu.
3. Select the campaign you want to embed on your POINT volunteer page.
4. Click **Sharing** in the top navigation, then select **Widgets**.
5. Click **Installation**. A modal will appear.
6. Choose the **I use another platform** option.
7. Copy the script code shown in the first step.
**In POINT:**
Paste the code into the **Script Snippet** field on the Givebutter Settings page.
đź“ť **Example of a Script Snippet:** ``
#### Step 3: Get your Widget Snippet from Givebutter
1. Go back to the **Widgets** page in your Givebutter campaign editor.
2. You'll see options to embed a Button or a Form. Click **\ Embed** under the **Form** card.
3. A modal will appear. Copy the code at the top.
**In POINT:**
Paste the code into the **Widget Snippet** field.
đź“ť **Example of a Widget Snippet:** ``
#### Step 4: Get your Campaign Form Link
1. At the top of your Givebutter campaign page, copy the campaign URL.
**In POINT:**
Paste the URL into the **Campaign Form Link** field.

#### Here's a step-by-step video on how to set up the integration:
### How can a volunteer donate to your organization through Givebutter?
1. Click the "donate" button on your POINT Organization page
2\. Then the Givebutter donation form will pop up! Your volunteers can then make one-time and recurring donations through Givebutter using their preferred payment method. Once the donation is complete, Givebutter will email a donation receipt directly to volunteers with your organization’s custom branding and thank-you message. You’ll be able to see all donations from your volunteers in Givebutter’s free nonprofit CRM, where you can track fundraising progress, manage donation data, and boost engagement over time.
