A rough plan for the night

  • help beginners with their first import of data into Salesforce (bring your spreadsheets and laptops!)
  • discuss email integrations with Salesforce from the App Exchange.  (Homework – Groundwire’s email service provider review.
  • put our collective brains to whatever challenges the group presents.

Processing donations and payments is a pain.

First you need to enter the credit card into into a Point Of Sale machine (if  you have even have one), then you need to record that payment on the individual or organization’s record (if you’ve got a database). There’s a lot of hardware, paper and potential for error.

IATS Brickwork might be a solution for you. It removes the hardware and automatically adds donations to your Salesforce Contacts because you enter the credit card info directly into Salesforce. Come check out the demo. Make them hard questions!

What is IATS?

Or even for those are aren’t using it yet, but are merely curious. We’ll be talking about CRM (customer relationship management) issues in general too.

This is your meetup, so the first meeting will be an informal discussion that will allow us to figure out the needs of the nonprofit community and determine what you want from a Salesforce meetup.

And while you’re waiting for the meetup to start why not apply for the Salesforce Foundation software grant?

We encourage neophytes to seasoned developers to share information with the larger community.
What’s working for you? What’s a struggle? What would you want to get out of a Salesforce meetup?
