With Walls.io, you can automatically import new donations from Donately onto your Wall. It's easy to achieve this with our Zapier integration. This step-by-step guide explains how it's done.
β
βπ¨ Important: This integration requires access to the Walls.io API, which can be purchased as an add-on for all plans. API access is also included in our Enterprise plans and some legacy plans.
1. Sign in to your Donately account
To get started, sign in to your Donately account if you haven't already.
2. Make a donation to pull it onto your Wall
Make a donation if you haven't already. Every new donation will then be displayed on your wall.
3. Enable API access for your Wall
Log in to your Walls.io account and go to Settings > API and activate the access token: π

4. Sign in to Donately account and connect it
In Zapier, start to create your "Zap" by clicking "Make a Zap" (a Zap is kind of a "recipe" that will connect two apps, in our case Donately and Walls.io). Enter a name for your Zap, i.e. "Donately to Walls.io". Choose Donately for the trigger app and "New Donation" as the trigger event:π
Then, sign in to your Donately account: π

You'll see a new window where you can insert the account ID and the API Token of your Donately account. You can find these data in your Donately account under Settings > Integrations > Donately API
