Overview
360MatchPro has the capability to integrate with many platforms, including Almabase and RE NXT. Using 360MatchPro, Almabase, and RE NXT, your organization can maximize matching gift revenue and ensure no matching gift opportunities fall through the cracks. These seamless integrations are used by many fundraisers to double their donations with the help of 360MatchPro's automation.
How it Works
The Almabase and Blackbaud RE NXT integrations allow you to seamlessly identify match-eligible donors from your Almabase donation forms and automatically pass all offline gifts from your RE NXT CRM into 360MatchPro. Then, 360MatchPro's automation gets to work, providing the right matching gift next steps to donors to help them drive their matching gift requests to completion.
360MatchPro Exclusion Rules
When integrating a donation form and CRM (like Almabase and RE NXT) to 360MatchPro, you should ensure that you review our "Managing Multiple Integrations" article, and that you have our default exclusion rules setup to stop duplicate donation records from flowing in to 360MatchPro. This exclusion rule prevents donation records that contain the same email address and donation amount within your desired period of days from being imported into 360MatchPro:
Enable the duplicate donations exclusion rule to prevent duplicate donations from flowing into 360MatchPro.
In addition to our standard exclusion rules, you can also set custom exclusion rules within 360MatchPro. This dynamic feature allows you to prevent your desired exclusions from being imported into 360MatchPro.
If you are using multiple integrations, such as a CRM and a donation form, each platform that records donation data might send slightly different amounts to 360MatchPro. For example, one system might include a processing fee in the total donation amount, while the other system removes all fees and just stores the donation portion of the charge as the total amount. In these cases, we highly recommend using the additional filter to exclude records with the same email address and donation amounts within 20% of each other. The 20% buffer is calculated to catch most of these discrepancies based on industry averages for processing fees, platform fees, transaction fees, etc.
Create custom exclusion rules to exclude records within 20% donation amounts of each other.
Blackbaud RE NXT: Custom Filters
Upon activating the Blackbaud RE NXT integration, you can also utilize the "Custom Filters" step to ensure your desired data flows from your CRM into 360MatchPro:
Utilize custom filters to ensure you capture the correct information within your 360MatchPro account.
From this setting, you may select your desired object and choose values to include in your 360MatchPro dataflow. Many organizations utilize this feature to ensure that the gifts that will not be captured by their Almabase donation forms are indeed captured through their CRM Integration.
For example, if you want to ensure you import all CRM donations with the transaction source of offline gift, you could configure that in this step.
Once your exclusion rules are setup, you can integrate your fundraising tools so that data may begin flowing into your 360MatchPro account. Your online donation form donations will flow from Almabase, and your other offline transactions will flow from RE NXT. Navigate to the "Getting Started" section of this article to see your platform-specific integration guides.
