      Does Double the Donation Integrate with ActBlue?

      This article walks through Double the Donation's integration with ActBlue.

      Double the Donation is the industry-leading matching gifts automation solution for nonprofits and educational institutions to identify more matching gift revenue opportunities and drive more matches to completion. You’ll need a Double the Donation account to activate the matching gift functionality within this partner platform. Not a Double the Donation client? Schedule a demo at https://doublethedonation.com/demo-request/.

      The following article has separate instructions for non-embeddable forms and embeddable ActBlue forms. Clients with embeddable forms can use the instructions for the non-embeddable forms, but clients who use non-embeddable forms cannot use the instructions for the embeddable forms.

      Step-by-Step: Integrate Double the Donation Matching into ActBlue (required for non-embeddable forms)

      Your Double the Donation client success representative will contact the ActBlue team on your behalf during your onboarding experience to request the webhooks needed to set up the ActBlue integration. You may also request this activation after onboarding directly from the Double the Donation support team by contacting  support@doublethedonation.com. Once the Double the Donation Matching integration is enabled in your ActBlue instance, data will now flow from ActBlue to the matching module.

      Step-by-Step: Integrate Double the Donation Matching into Actblue (embeddable forms ONLY)

      The following instructions install the Double the Donation Matching plugin on your ActBlue embeddable form's confirmation page and enable donor tracking.

      Step #1: In your matching module, navigate to Settings->API Keys.
       
      Step #2: In the Embed Codes for Setup section, select "ActBlue embeddable form" in the drop-down menu.  Copy the embed code.
       
       
       
      Step #3: Paste the embed code from your Double the Donation Matching account on the page where your ActBlue embeddable form is installed.
       
      Congratulations! Double the Donation Matching is now embedded on your ActBlue form; the search tool will now appear on the donation page. 

      ActBlue - Double the Donation FAQs

      Q: I completed the integration steps, but I'm seeing an error message in Double the Donation Matching. What's wrong?

      A: The most likely problem is that the webhook's password in ActBlue's portal did not match the password that was provided in Double the Donation Matching. If you see the following error message, please access the password set in your ActBlue portal and copy and paste it into the matching module. Keep in mind the password is case-sensitive and should contain no leading or trailing spaces.

      Q: Where else can I embed Double the Donation's plugin?
      For ActBlue users who are using the non-embeddable form, we recommend placing the plugin on your website's "Thank You" page - wherever a donor is redirected after they complete their donation, 
       
      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 donation form. 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.
       
      To install Double the Donation’s matching gift search tool anywhere on your website, simply copy and paste the same Embed Code that you used before. Take a look at this example:
