Q: I integrate with Online Express and Blackbaud RE NXT CRM. How can I prevent Online Express donations from being duplicated in Double the Donation Matching?
A: You can set a custom filter so only non-Online Express records are imported from RE-NXT. Following the instructions here, set a filter for “Gift: Online Express Page URL (custom field)” that does not equal the URL of your Online Express donation form. NOTE: You will have to configure multiple filters if you use multiple Online Express donation forms. The following filter should then be visible in your matching module under Integrations → Manage:
Q: Can I customize the text that appears in the streamlined search tool?
A: Yes! You can customize the label shown as part of the streamlined search by navigating to Settings --> API Keys --> Customizations.
Q: Should I also create a dedicated matching gift page?
A: We recommend you create a dedicated matching gift page on your website to place matching gift information in the path of every website visitor, not just those already on your confirmation page. On this page, you can explain what matching gift programs are and provide donors with a chance to look up their employer's program forms, guidelines, and instructions. Your dedicated matching gift page will become a useful resource to include in emails, newsletters, and direct messages.
