Open your query editor in one click, directly from AmpliPhi

AmpliPhi.app now allows fundraising teams to open a query directly in its source system with a single click and selectively refresh that query just as easily. This means teams always know exactly what logic defines a segment, where it comes from, and when it was last updated, without leaving AmpliPhi or relying on manual coordination.

This release strengthens how teams connect, validate, and activate donor data, ensuring every decision is grounded in visibility, control, and clarity.

Why this matters for nonprofit leaders

For Directors of Finance, Operational Directors, Fundraising Managers, Data Specialists, and Campaign Directors, confidence comes from knowing exactly which queries are in use, where they come from, and how current they are.

At SimpliPhi, our mission is to remove data friction so nonprofit teams can confidently act on donor data, deliver the right donor experience, and improve fundraising results.

As William da Silva, Founder of SimpliPhi, explains:

“Nonprofits do their best work when data is clear, accessible, and trusted across teams. Our role is to make sure technology supports that clarity, so fundraising, finance, and operations can move forward together with confidence.”

What is query access?

Query access gives teams full visibility into every query used across segmentations and channels, directly inside AmpliPhi, without requiring guesswork or back-and-forth between systems.

It introduces three major improvements:

1. Rich query context everywhere queries are used
2. Direct access to queries at the source
3. A centralized view of all active and deleted queries across the organization

Together, these capabilities turn queries from hidden technical artifacts into shared, understandable operational assets.

1. One-click access to the source system

From anywhere in AmpliPhi, users can open a query directly in its original data source, such as Blackbaud Raiser’s Edge NXT, Salesforce, or others. This one-click access makes it immediately clear how a segment is defined and where the data originates, without leaving AmpliPhi.

This allows teams to:

• Review the actual criteria defining the query
• Update filters, logic, names, or descriptions at the source
• Maintain governance without duplicating logic in AmpliPhi

Front-End Software Developer Jean-Christophe Faul explains:

“All the constituent data stays in the source system. We do not retain personal data in AmpliPhi. What we provide is fast, secure access to the definition of the query itself.”

2. Immediate clarity inside segments and channels

Every query used in a segmentation or channel now carries meaningful context directly inside AmpliPhi.

When users hover over a query, they can instantly see:

• The query description
• The data source it comes from
• When it was last calculated
• Whether it has been deleted or is in error

This visibility helps teams quickly understand what powers each segment or channel, even when lists were created long ago or by another team member.

3. Automatic refresh and clear error signaling

Because AmpliPhi pulls query results at specific moments in time, refreshing data is intentional and controlled.

With this update:

• Teams can selectively refresh a query in one click and automatically update all segments or channels that depend on it
• Name changes and descriptions sync back into AmpliPhi
• Deleted queries are clearly flagged with visual warnings
• Broken dependencies are surfaced immediately

4. A centralized query usage dashboard for governance

A brand-new section inside Organization Settings → Datasources → Used constituent lists provides a consolidated view of all queries currently used across AmpliPhi.

Here, teams can see:

• Every active and deleted query in use
• Which segments and channels depend on each query
• How heavily a query is used across the organization
• When it was last calculated and from which data source

Designed for real nonprofit team workflows

This release intentionally supports two common nonprofit operating models:

One-person teams, where a single user builds queries, refreshes data, and activates campaigns.

Multi-role teams, where data specialists manage query logic and fundraising teams execute campaigns.

“Our focus is always on our clients and the teams using AmpliPhi every day. We design features that make collaboration easier, reduce uncertainty, and support confident decision-making across fundraising, finance, and operations,” says Lea Hardcastle, Director of Professional Services at SimpliPhi. “When teams have clarity and shared visibility, they can work together more effectively and stay focused on their mission.”

How this fits AmpliPhi’s core promise

AmpliPhi is designed to help fundraising teams act with confidence.

At its core, the application removes guesswork from segmentation so teams can clearly understand who is in an audience, how segments overlap, and when they are ready to act. By connecting directly to existing donor data sources, AmpliPhi ensures teams work from trusted information without duplicating data or exporting spreadsheets.

This enhancement directly reinforces AmpliPhi’s core workflow:

Connect — Link directly to existing donor data, without manual exports  

Build — Create and adjust donor segments independently

Validate — Visually confirm who is included in each audience and ensure alignment before acting  

Visualize — Understand overlap, priorities, and gaps across segments and channels  

Activate — Launch campaigns in minutes, confident the right donors are receiving the right message

By strengthening visibility and validation at every step, AmpliPhi helps fundraising teams launch campaigns faster, improve confidence in the donor experience, reduce friction between teams, and support stronger fundraising results.

Turn data clarity into action
