Product Update: Charity Automator Now Supports Salesforce as a Data Source

Charity Automator now supports Salesforce as a Data Source, making it easier for nonprofit organizations to access and use the data. Nonprofit organizations can now synchronize Salesforce data directly into their Charity Automator data warehouse. The result? By reducing manual work, organizations can build a stronger foundation for analysis, reporting, and ultimately make faster strategic decisions.

Salesforce is one of the most widely adopted CRMs in the nonprofit sector. With this update, organizations using Salesforce can now bring their CRM data into Charity Automator's warehouse to streamline workflows, unify operations, and automate reporting across platforms.

Why We Built This Feature

At SimpliPhi, we prioritize product development that aligns with the real-world needs of the organizations we serve. Nonprofits often manage multiple systems, and they consistently ask for easier, automated ways to bring those systems together.

“We prioritize new data sources based on two things: how widely used they are, and how much value they can bring. Salesforce was at the top of that list. This is about giving our clients more power to unify their systems and reduce manual work.” – Stefan Karnyaczki, Director of Product Development

This release reflects months of development and collaboration. Mila, one of our Software Developers, led the technical implementation from scratch. Tim and Somkala contributed extensively through testing and support, ensuring the feature meets the high standards our clients expect.

What the Integration Enables

Unify data from multiple systems

Organizations using both Salesforce and other platforms, such as Raiser’s Edge NXT,  Financial Edge NXT, Luminate Online, MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, or Oracle Database, can now analyze them together in a single environment.

Eliminate manual exports

Data synchronization is fully automated, significantly reducing operational effort.

Streamline data conversions

For nonprofits moving away from Salesforce, this update enables seamless data migration into other platforms using our data flow tools.

Organizations using Charity Automator can also take advantage of our Data Flow capabilities to move data from Salesforce into Raiser’s Edge NXT or Luminate Online. This makes it easier to get the right information in the right place without manual intervention.

“Before this update, organizations had to rely on manual exports to move data from Salesforce. Now, they can fully automate the process and focus on what matters most — mission and strategy.” – William da Silva, CEO of SimpliPhi

 This feature aligns with our commitment to providing timely, accurate, and complete data for our customers.

  • Timely: Data is available when it is needed
  • Accurate: Automation minimizes the risk of error
  • Complete: All systems integrated in one secure data environment

How It Works

Salesforce can be added as a data source in your Charity Automator setup.
