The 1-Minute Thank You
How to make gratitude fast and effortless with Zapier
Figure out how to thank every donor quickly and consistently — without adding another task to your plate.
If donor thank-yous keep falling behind…
If sending thank-you notes depends on someone remembering, finding time, or reopening a spreadsheet… you’re not doing anything wrong.
Most small teams don’t lack care.
They lack systems that show up when they can’t.
This training helps you set up a 1-minute, automated thank-you draft so gratitude happens automatically — even on busy weeks, even during campaigns.
No guilt.
No backlog.
No “I’ll get to it later.”
Just follow-through.
How to use this
This is a fast, practical walkthrough that helps you:
Set up an automated draft thank-you note using Zapier
Trigger the draft automatically when a donation comes in
Keep messages personal without writing from scratch every time
Reduce thank-you time to about one minute per donor
This is the simple version your overwhelmed nonprofit brain has been hoping for.
Who this is for
This is for nonprofit teams who:
Care deeply about thanking donors, but can’t keep up manually
Know thank-yous are slipping through the cracks
Feel uncomfortable with fully automated messages
Want something personal and sustainable
Need a solution that works with limited time and capacity
If you’ve ever thought “I hate that this isn’t happening consistently” — this was built for you.
What’s included
By the end of this training, you’ll walk away with:
A step-by-step, on-demand setup video
Swipe copy to make writing your thank-you note easy
A Zapier template you can implement right away
