Send gift acknowledgements with AI (for more of you)

With AI Acknowledgements, you can generate unique message content for your acknowledgement emails in less time. No matter how many acknowledgements you generate, the message is different each time, which provides a personalized touch for each donor.

You can send AI acknowledgements directly from a gift record under Acknowledgements and receipts, Send AI acknowledgement. For more information, see Gift Records.

Alternatively, from Fundraising, Gift acknowledgement, you can see a list of gifts that have not yet received an acknowledgement and send a message to each of them. You can also review recently sent AI acknowledgements, troubleshoot AI acknowledgement emails that were not delivered, and configure AI acknowledgments.

For more information, see AI Acknowledgements.
