Trigger#

New Constituent Created on Little Green Light

Description:Emit new event for each new constituent created in Little Green Light.

Version:0.0.1

Key:little_green_light-new-constituent-created

View on GitHub

Little Green Light Overview#

The Little Green Light API provides access to a robust donor management platform, allowing for the creation, retrieval, update, and deletion of donor data. With the API, you can automate tasks related to fundraising, event management, and donor engagement. On Pipedream, you can harness this API to construct serverless workflows that trigger on various events, integrate with other apps, and automate repetitive tasks without managing infrastructure.

Note: Little Green Light strongly recommends against connecting your LGL account with any AI services like ChatGPT, as that could lead to unintended use of personal data.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";
import sampleEmit from "./test-event.mjs";

export default {

Mailchimp Overview#

The Mailchimp API taps into the heart of your email marketing efforts, allowing you to manage subscribers, campaigns, and reports. With the API, you can automate tasks like syncing subscriber lists, segmenting contacts based on behavior, and personalizing email content to match user profiles. It's a powerful tool for marketers looking to fine-tune their email strategy and maximize engagement.
