Financial Update
π³ Give Website Users the Option to Donate Credit Card Fees
With the convenience of credit card payments comes processing fees for merchants.
Admins can now determine if they'd like to ask website users to additionally donate a percentage of the total amount due to help cover credit card fees.
This is optional for admins to decide if they want to utilize this functionality and if so, how to display it to users (opt-in or opt-out).

Novi recently hosted a roundtable discussing credit card fees and introduced the donation functionality. Check out the link below to view the video!

Integration Updates
βοΈ MailChimp and Constant Contact Integration Upgrades
Systemic upgrades implemented by the Novi team to the MailChimp and Constant Contact integrations have allowed for faster processing and syncing times overall! These upgrades additionally allowed us to release several new exciting features.
β
π Quickly Sync and Review Emails Via the Email Sync Report
The newly launched Email Sync Report offers a variety of useful email data, including: an overview of email addresses, which records' email addresses are synced, multiple records sharing an email, if an email is synced to MailChimp and/or Constant Contact, related Committees, Groups, or Events, and actions that can be taken.

π Record Syncing Priority Levels for Duplicate Emails
The MailChimp and Constant Contact sync upgrades allowed Novi to prioritize which records' emails should be sent when duplicate emails exist within synced Novi groups.
Both platforms do not allow the same email address to be used on multiple records, so Novi established a cadence for which record to sync that prioritizes people's records over company records.

β‘οΈ Sync Company Name and Job Title to MailChimp and Constant Contact
Another great enhancement to the Novi sync with MailChimp and Constant Contact is the ability to sync Company Name of Job Titles of persons in Novi Groups who are synced to the email marketing platforms.
