EverTrue Integration

The EverTrue platform helps advancement teams engage constituents and increase giving potential with easy access to amazing data. You can see donor data side-by-side with ThankView views, shares, clicks, and replies, helping prove the ROI of your ThankView efforts and improve your relationship with your constituents.

Think of EverTrue as "The Brains" and ThankView as "The Hands."

Setting up the Integration

EverTrue

Reach out to your Customer Success Representative or success@thankview.com  if you are interested in turning on the integration. You will need to sign an addendum to allow us to set it up. After the paperwork is signed, we will work with EverTrue to get the platforms talking to one another using SFTP credentials. EverTrue will prepare the system for your ThankView data by creating 13 new interaction custom fields. ThankView utilizes the interaction file format to display ThankView information and will send files to EverTrue daily.

ThankView

Once you have signed the addendum, we’ll connect your ThankView account via SFTP. You’ll be able to see if your accounts are connected on your Integrations page.

Interaction File Imports

One requirement of the integration is that you upload only incremental (delta) interaction imports. If you already import incremental files, then you are fine to proceed. If you upload Full files, you need to adjust your imports to be standard incremental files. You may continue to import all interactions from your system, but the file must not be processed as a Full, which is currently indicated manually or via the file name example.interactions.full.csv. Since you will be losing the ability to delete interactions using EverTrue’s implicit full import option, you must explicitly mark interactions for deletion using a Yes flag in your file. This flag should be mapped to the IsDeleted? field in the mapping screen.

For Customers Writing Interactions in EverTrue

EverTrue will make sure that the new interaction custom fields related to ThankView do not show on your Interaction Writing form. However, your interaction export format will be adjusted to include these new custom fields. Your export will have 13 additional columns, and the custom fields will display alphabetically. If this breaks a script that you have running, coordinate with the EverTrue team to make this transition as seamless as possible. 

ThankView Delivery

ThankView interactions will be delivered daily via SFTP. You will have access to these delivery files in EverTrue's Console. ThankView will not have access to your institution's EverTrue SFTP account and will use a separate account instead.

Necessary Data

In order for your ThankView data to pair with the corresponding EverTrue record, your ThankView data must include Constituent IDs, or Donor IDs, that match the Remote IDs used in EverTrue. You can import this data into ThankView. Without this data point, we can’t sync the information.

Custom Field Mapping from ThankView to EverTrue

Many of the fields EverTrue receives from the ThankView files will go into existing EverTrue fields. For example, ThankView Author Name will go straight into our Author Name field. For the other information, we will create custom field locations.
