Connect GivePanel with Conversr for Seamless SMS Fundraiser Stewardship
Engaging your fundraisers through multiple channels just got easier. We’re excited to announce our new native integration with Conversr, connecting your GivePanel data directly with SMS messaging to enhance your supporter communications.
The power of SMS for fundraiser engagement
SMS messaging is incredibly effective for fundraiser engagement, with typically higher open and response rates than traditional email. A large number of our charity partners have already seen success using SMS as part of their virtual fundraising strategies.
Now, with our native Conversr integration, you can harness this powerful channel more effectively than ever before. Our friends at Conversr are able to manage and nurture the experience for your fundraisers, creating curated customer journeys that deliver real value.
