API Integration: Make Your CRM go the Extra Mile with Wealth Intelligence

Would you ignore a potential convenience if you had the option? Probably not, right? If you’re someone who lives on your CRM during most of your workday, then reading this will make your life easier. API integration is a convenient and secure way to add wealth intelligence to your database.

Doing this allows you to gain insights instantly within your CRM. Additionally, APIs can provide real-time insights on your contacts as soon as they come into contact with one of your channels.

Let’s begin with the basics before we continue exploring benefits and use cases.

What is API Integration?

API stands for Application Programming Interface. Think of a mobile or web application like Gmail, Twitter, or Facebook. These applications are powered by data, so you need a way to get data to and from the app. There needs to be an automated way to communicate with a database.

Simply put, API is a mechanism for one computer to consume the services
provided by another computer in a structured format. Further, an Integration is some functionality built using APIs between your wealth analytics provider’s platform and the CRM platform you use.

Top 3 Benefits of API Integration

1. Omnichannel Integration: APIs can integrate wealth data and analytics into any website, app, or system. This means that you can gain wealth insights on any digital channel, not just your website. For example, your e-commerce app can deliver a personalized experience to each customer based on their wealth and lifestyle data.

As a result, engagement would increase, thereby improving customer lifetime value.

Similarly, if you’re a nonprofit, you can imagine how seamless this would be:

2. Real-time Updates: A wealth intelligence API integration can instantly screen prospects so you can take immediate action. This means when a new customer or donor engages with your website, you can find out more about them instantly. Your insights engine can provide wealth and financial capacity insights into transactions in real-time. Therefore, knowing more about them allows you to begin nurturing them right away.

For instance, a WealthEngine client acquired about 6,000 new donors through a campaign and screened them using their WealthEngine integration. They found that about 10% of those individuals had a net worth over $1 million, which they have since passed to their major gift team to cultivate major relationships.

3. Enhance Your CRM: Import wealth data directly into your CRM or sales platform. This will allow your marketing or advancement team to spend more time focused on reaching the right prospects instead of switching back and forth between several platforms. It reduces the need for tasks like exporting files and uploading them into your platform of choice. This way you can make your CRM go the extra mile.

What WealthEngine’s API can do For You

WealthEngine offers sophisticated and secure API integrations that enhance your CRM with actionable wealth insights. Further, they can provide instant insights into your contacts on a variety of platforms.

Here are three ways in which you can use the API to integrate wealth intelligence:

2. Prospect Link: This feature allows you to request wealth profiles to review names and addresses.
3. Batch Import: Request wealth profiles to review a list of names within large batch files.

Four Clear Benefits of Data Integration

There are two ways to build a stronger fundraising program: understanding your donors better and identifying new prospects. Integrating wealth data into your donor management system (DMS) or customer relationship management (CRM) system can help you achieve both, and is the key to enhancing data-driven workflows and data access. Data integration gives team members across your organization more insight on your donors and prospects.

One of the keys to making data useful and actionable is to be sure it’s available and accessible in a central location, and that it integrates with other data sources within your organization. This is one of the principals behind the "data warehouse." Most nonprofits don’t have enough unique data sources to need a warehouse to house their data, but the idea of ensuring that all useful data is accessible is certainly one that all nonprofits can relate to. These are four ways that data integration can benefit your organization:

Having all data in one place allows the user to get a 360-degree view of the constituent.
Having giving history, event attendance, wealth data, and behavioral data such as arts affinity, green living, or dog lover flags, allows multiple users to get a complete picture of the prospect and determine the best strategies for appeals, cultivation and stewardship.

Having access to many data points allows for effective and efficient segmentation of the data into actionable solicitation groups.
Major Giving potential may be informed by gift history, giving capacity, relationship and affinity indicators. Annual giving may be segmented by capacity, gift history and interest area. A segment appropriate to receive a planned gift mailing may be determined by age, affinity factors and giving longevity. Having a full complement of data points on which to segment and personalize messaging creates relationships that result in support.

Having wealth data housed within the DMS or CRM allows staff to use data to make informed decisions.
In the realm of major giving, staff can make decisions regarding which prospects should be prioritized into major gift portfolios and who should be removed from active management. Data integration can also help staff define appropriate ask amounts. Having a pool of wealth-rated prospects in the DMS creates a pipeline of potential givers for current and future cultivation.

Having ratings, scores and attributes housed within the primary database or DMS allows the entire organization to leverage the data.
While many organizations purchase data enhancement and analytics to benefit their major giving programs, those who integrate the data quickly learn that annual giving, planned giving, special events, marketing, alumni affairs and others in the organization can leverage the purchase, making it even more cost effective and producing greater returns.

The technology of your DMS can be very different from your CRM system, but with scalable, real-time integration, you can make these systems talk to each other and ultimately work more efficiently. With over 35 integrations (and counting) with leading providers like Salesforce, WE can integrate our data into all major DMS and CRM systems so you won’t have to choose one or the other.
