Integrations: Salesforce, Raiser's Edge NXT & Virtuous

Stay in sync across platforms! Say goodbye to retyping data from Instrumentl, or exporting CSVs from reports into other CRMs. With our three integrations, you can seamlessly maintain your funder and opportunity records all in Instrumentl.

Note: You may choose one platform integration. It's not optimal to sync your account to multiple CRMs at this time.

Initially, you will have to configure the integration by mapping fields in Instrumentl to those corresponding fields in either Salesforce, Raiser's Edge NXT, or Virtuous. Beyond our step-by-step guides, We’ll even have a team member assist you on a live call to make sure that data mapping process goes smoothly!

Once configured, updates made in your Tracker will automatically sync to your Salesforce, Raiser's Edge NXT, or Virtuous account. Your Instrumentl Tracker can now become the single source of truth for all your grant work.

Calendar Integration

View all your deadlines in one place with Calendar Integration. This allows to view your Instrumentl Task Deadlines, Submission Goals, Submission Dates, and Funder Deadlines on either your Apple, Outlook, or Google Calendar.

Initially, you'll configure Calendar Integration by syncing your Instrumentl Calendar to your external calendar:

Then, any changes made on Instrumentl will be reflected on your external calendar. Calendar Integrations are available on any web calendar that uses the iCal format. For more information on Calendar Integration, click here.

Payments Tracking

Easily stay up to date on the expected and received payments for awarded opportunities! You can check out your payment statistics by fiscal year, funder type, and even more breakdowns as you track your payments. Click here to learn how Payments Tracking can simplify post-award management.

Budget Spenddown

End-to-end pre-award and post-award management for all your grants in one place! Monitor your budget and quickly gauge whether your spending and fundraising is on track. Spenddown makes your budget easy to digest with visual insights to ensure your entire team is aligned financially.

Custom Fields

Streamline your data management by storing and organizing essential data tailored to your organization's needs. You’ll have the ability to create your own fields on opportunities and funders and make tracking even easier. Add fields like priority status, probability of winning, private notes, renewals, restrictions, internal ID, and beyond!

Generally, if a specific Instrumentl field does not exist for a piece of data, you'd store this information in your notes section. Custom Fields cleanly capture this essential data in a variety of formats, including text, dropdown options, dates, monetary amounts, and more.
