Summary

Danielle Curtis, Senior Donor Relationships Associate at DonorsChoose.org, uses Zapier to automate workflows that help her manage email outreach to hundreds of people. With Zaps, she can notify herself and the marketing team of upcoming meetings and save donor email responses in a spreadsheet, ensuring nothing slips through the cracks. This automation helps Danielle focus on developing relationships with donors, while Zapier takes care of mundane tasks such as cataloging email responses, reminding her about upcoming meetings, and sending Slack channel messages for new Google Calendar events. As a result, Danielle is able to shave two hours off her work for every mass email campaign she sends, giving her more peace of mind and time to focus on the donors and those they help.
