Different thank you emails for one-time vs. monthly
Jonathan Lin
It would be nice if it were possible to customize the thank you emails sent out for one-time vs. recurring gifts. We would want to use different messaging to acknowledge our monthly donors.
At the risk of over-complicating, it would further be preferable to send one message for the first monthly gift from a donor, and a different type of message for subsequent monthly gifts.

Matt Connelly - Can Finally Home (Colorado) please be added to this beta? We really need to be notifying monthly donors when their credit cards are processed.

I didn't see this feature on the roadmap, although there was mention of a beta program. Is there a way for us to get on the beta to try the feature? Thanks
Jonathan Lin
Matt Connelly thanks for the quick work! Has it always been the case that monthly donors only receive an initial acknowledgement email, or was that changed?
Matt Connelly
Jonathan Lin: yes, before introducing this beta we only ever sent an acknowledgement email for the initial donation for monthly donors.
Jonathan Lin
Matt Connelly: Got it, thanks!

Hi Jonathan!
Noted! We just enabled our recurring thank you message beta for you--you will be able to set a thank you message that donors will receive for each subsequent monthly gift.
I do understand the nuance of wanting even the initial thank you message to be different for monthly donors (which we don't currently faciliate), but we'll continue to explore this functionality so you can have these donors experience a distinct journey.
Teresa Underwood We added your nonprofit to this beta as well. Hope this helps, and feel free to send any feedback.

Matt Connelly: Can you please add Wu Yee Children's Services to the beta for this too? Thank you!
Matt Connelly
Kiyomi Noguchi: Hi Kiyomi Noguchi, just added your nonprofit!
If you go to the thank you message screen for your core profile/campaigns in your admin portal, you should see an additional section at the bottom entitled 'Recurring Thank You Message.' From there, you can enable/create your recurring thank you message.
Kiyomi Noguchi
Matt Connelly: Thank you, that was fast! Is there a way to make the initial thank you message different when a donor sets up a recurring donation, in addition to or in place of a monthly email? Since donors receive the stripe receipt after each transaction, we would rather have a unique initial thank you to reflect the monthly set up.
Matt Connelly
Kiyomi Noguchi: Unfortunately we don't facilitate this currently, but it's definitely been noted and we'll keep it in the forefront of our minds as we tackle more thank you message functionality in the future.
Nathan Sullivan
Matt Connelly: Would you mind adding Catholic Music Initiative, Inc to the beta for this as well?

Matt Connelly: Could you please add A Future for Every Child to the recurring Thank you message beta as well, if the beta is still available. Thank you
Matt Connelly
Prabandham Gopal Just added you, you should be able to enable/set up these receipts in your Thank You message screens in the admin portal.
Nathan, I just double checked and just confirming you were added!
