Connect Zeffy to viaSocket in 4 easy steps
What you'll need:
Admin access to your Zeffy account, so you can generate an API key, plus a viaSocket account. Both are free.
STEP #1
Get your Zeffy API key
Log in to Zeffy, go to Settings, then Organization information, then Integrations. Copy your API key and keep it somewhere safe. Only admins can generate a key, so if you are not an admin, ask someone on your team who is.
STEP #2
Open the Zeffy integration on viaSocket
Go to viaSocket's Zeffy integration and create a free viaSocket account, or sign in to the one you have.
STEP #3
Pick your Zeffy trigger
Create a new flow and search for Zeffy. Choose the event that starts your workflow: a new contact created in Zeffy, or a new campaign created in Zeffy. Paste in the API key from step 1 when prompted.
STEP #4
Choose what happens next
Add the app that should receive the data, from a spreadsheet to your CRM to a Slack channel. Turn the flow on and it runs on its own from there.
Your Zeffy data, in every tool your team already uses
viaSocket connects Zeffy to more than 2,300 apps without a single line of code. Your flow starts when something happens in Zeffy, then viaSocket does the rest wherever your team works.
Two events can start a flow: a new contact is created in Zeffy, or a new campaign is created in Zeffy.
From there, viaSocket can look up anything it needs from your Zeffy account: find payments with filters for donor, campaign, status, type, currency and date range, pull the details of a single payment, list or find contacts, and list or find campaigns.
A few things nonprofits build with it: log every new supporter into a shared Google Sheet, post a message in Slack when a new campaign goes live, keep a copy of your contact list in the CRM your board reports from, or run a weekly sync that keeps your reporting current without anyone exporting a file.
One important note on safety. The Zeffy public API is read-only, so viaSocket can pull your data out but cannot create, change or delete anything inside Zeffy. Your records stay exactly as your team left them.
How much does the viaSocket integration cost?
Nothing on the Zeffy side. API access is free for every organization on Zeffy, with no subscription, no per-request charge and no paid tier to unlock it. Other fundraising platforms put API and automation access behind their higher plans.
viaSocket sets its own pricing and has a free plan, so check their pricing page for what your usage would cost there.
We stay free thanks to optional tips from donors. Nonprofits keep 100% of what they raise, and there are no platform, transaction or credit card fees.
FAQ
Does Zeffy integrate with viaSocket?
Yes. Zeffy is listed on the viaSocket marketplace. Connect it with your free Zeffy API key and you can send Zeffy data to more than 2,300 apps without writing code.
What can the viaSocket integration actually do?
A flow starts when a new contact or a new campaign is created in Zeffy. viaSocket can then look up payments, contacts and campaigns from your account and pass that data to any other app in its catalogue.
Can viaSocket change my Zeffy data?
No. The Zeffy public API is read-only. viaSocket can read your donations, contacts and campaigns, but it cannot create, edit or delete anything in your Zeffy account.
Do I need a developer to set this up?
No. You need an API key from your Zeffy settings, which takes a minute, and then everything in viaSocket is point and click.
Is the integration free?
It is free from Zeffy. API access is included for every organization, with no fee of any kind. viaSocket charges for its own plans and offers a free tier, so your only possible cost sits on their side.
Which apps can I connect Zeffy to?
More than 2,300, including Google Sheets, Gmail, Slack, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, Mailchimp, Airtable and Notion.
Should I use viaSocket or Zapier?
Both work, and they start from different events. Zeffy's Zapier integration triggers on each donation and each order, which suits automations that need to fire on a gift. viaSocket triggers on new contacts and new campaigns, and reaches a different catalogue of apps. If one of them already runs your other automations, start there.
Is Zeffy really free?
Yes. Zeffy doesn't charge platform fees, transaction fees or credit card fees. Nonprofits keep 100% of every dollar raised. We stay free thanks to optional tips from donors.
