Givebutter runs fundraising campaigns, event ticketing and donor contacts for nonprofits. Google Sheets is often where volunteers check people in at the door and where the board reads totals. FlowMattic writes Givebutter transactions, tickets, campaigns and contacts into a sheet from your own WordPress site, so each team works from a list that fills itself.

1. TriggerTransaction Succeeded2. ActionAdd New RowWhen Givebutter fires Transaction Succeeded, FlowMattic runs Add New Row in Google Sheets with the data from that event.
You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps
Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.
Ready-made templateEach successful payment adds a row with the donor, amount, campaign and date, giving the finance volunteer a running list to reconcile against payouts.
Transaction SucceededAdd New Row
View the template Each ticket adds the attendee and ticket type to a Check-in tab. Volunteers at the door tick a column on a phone instead of searching an email inbox.
Ticket CreatedAdd New Row
Each new campaign is logged with its title, goal and URL, and Campaign Updated overwrites the row when the goal or dates change.
Campaign UpdatedLookup Row DataUpdate Row
Contact Created checks the email first. A Router adds a row for someone new and skips people already on the list, so mail merges reach each donor once.
Contact CreatedLookup Row DataRouterAdd New Row
A Router reads the campaign of each transaction, so the spring appeal, the walkathon and the auction each have a tab with their own total.

After the row is written, Email (SMTP) sends a short thank-you from your executive director's address, with the amount and campaign from the transaction.
Transaction SucceededAdd New RowEmail (SMTP)
At the end, every succeeded Givebutter transaction is written as a row in your gifts sheet.
Add headers such as Transaction ID, Date, Donor, Email, Amount, Campaign and Method.
Under Connects, add your Givebutter account and a Google account that can edit the gifts sheet.
Start a workflow on the Givebutter Transaction Succeeded trigger and make a small test donation so the fields are captured.
Add Google Sheets Add New Row, map the transaction fields, test it and switch the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Givebutter and Google Sheets connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Check-in sheets and donor lists can be shared with volunteers without giving them access to your Givebutter dashboard.
Runs are unlimited, so an event that brings in hundreds of tickets and gifts in one evening needs no plan upgrade.
Gift and contact details pass through your own WordPress site into your sheet, not another company's automation account.
Yes. A workflow on Transaction Succeeded adds each donation as a row with the donor, amount and campaign. There is no export to run; the sheet fills as gifts arrive.
Yes. Start a workflow on Ticket Created and add each ticket to a Check-in tab with the attendee and ticket type. Add a Checked in column for volunteers.
Add a Router after Transaction Succeeded with one path for ticket purchases and one for donations, each writing to its own tab.
Yes. Add an Email (SMTP) step after the row. It sends from your own mail server with the donor's name and gift amount.
Yes, if you add a workflow on Campaign Updated that looks up the campaign row by ID and updates it.
