Overview
When you connect Classy to Kindful, all your Classy data - including historical Classy data - will sync into Kindful automatically. Once it’s in Kindful, you can search for and utilize this data in meaningful ways, so that you can interact with your donors in meaningful ways. In this article, we’ll go over how to search for your Classy data that has synced into Kindful.
This integration syncs one-way; this means that Classy sends data to Kindful, but Kindful does not send data to Classy. There are three elements in Classy that stay in sync with Kindful; Supporters, Transactions, and Campaigns. We’ll dig deeper into each of these elements in this article.
