Smart Charge America

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.

David Laderberg, VP of Sales

Remote

Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism — I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.

Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder

SweepBright

Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.

Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO

Digioh

Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.

Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder

Otter.ai

We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.

Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience

Superhuman

We've been able to scale our operations while staying lean. Zapier lets us do more without needing more people.

Jacob Sirrs, Marketing Operations Specialist

Transform your nonprofit ops with Zapier

Zapier helps you scale nonprofit operations with practical automation. Manage donor records, run fundraising workflows, and track grants and impact—and that’s just the start.

Donor and fundraising workflows

Turn giving into repeatable growth

Automate donor management and fundraising workflows from first gift to follow-up. Connect forms, CRM records, and campaign activity in HubSpot, Salesforce, or Mailchimp. Gain cleaner data and faster outreach.

Lead generation and management

Automatic donor capture

Capture every new donor from forms or payment tools and create a CRM record instantly, so no gift or contact detail gets missed.

Fundraising campaign alerts

Send real-time updates to Slack or email when campaigns hit goals, stall, or receive major gifts, so fundraising teams can act fast.

Smart receipt delivery

Deliver donation receipts right after a gift lands, using email and record updates to reduce manual follow-up and improve compliance.

Recurring gift tracking

Track repeat donations as they happen and update donor history automatically, making retention and forecasting far easier.

CRM record enrichment

Add campaign source, giving totals, and contact details to HubSpot or Salesforce automatically for cleaner donor management.
