When Smart Match is turned on, GivePanel will automatically check for any organic JustGiving fundraisers (those created outside of the GivePanel integration) after each daily JustGiving import.
If an organic fundraiser’s JustGiving event type matches the event type of one of your DIY campaigns, Smart Match will get to work - it will:
Create a registration for that fundraiser, enrolling them into the DIY campaign’s email journey.
Event attribute their fundraiser to the correct DIY campaign, ensuring their totals are included in your campaign dashboard.
Allow you to easily filter for these fundraisers in the Fundraiser List.
Important notes
Smart Match will only work if the event type is visible on the form. For example, if your DIY form only includes Running and Swimming as event type options, a Streaming/Gaming fundraiser won’t be matched.
It will only match when there is one DIY campaign with that event type visible - if multiple DIY campaigns share the same event type, Smart Match won’t know which to attribute the fundraiser to.
Smart Match takes place daily on import of JustGiving data into GivePanel.
