Email notifications for donations

I was told by customer support that we're unable to set up email notifications when new donations come through. It would be so helpful to be notified for donations where the donor did not chose to remain anonymous so that we can thank them straight away. As a small charity with limited capacity to login and generate a report every day, this would make a really positive difference for us. Thanks for considering our idea!

    It would be great to have this when supporters use Giving Checkout - particularly for those who set up a monthly donation through it.

    this is an obvious need, as NXT forms already have this option, Online Express did/does, and the peer-to-peer platform we used to use before switching to this one also had that functionality. Please add!

    This seems like something that should have been implemented day one of developing this program. What nonprofit would NOT want this?? I've been waiting on our test donation notifications for 3 days, wondering what I did wrong, only to find out I only receive notifications for arbitrary 1st, 5th, 15th, etc. "awards"? It's critical for not only stewardship, but also for accounting and donation logging purposes. Please just implement this. It's so obvious it's silly.

    100%. Adding notifications would be super helpful.

    I could not agree more. No matter the size of the organization, almost every donation platform has the ability to notify a designated person to receive email notification when a donation is made. This is imperative so please add it.

    I agree, VM had this and it massively helps donor retention

    I was told they cant do it as there donor reports are 24 hours later, but even if we got this notification 24 hours later it would still help
