How it works

From connection to autonomous action in three steps

1

Connect

Connect: Authenticate via CiviCRM REST API with secure API keys in under 15 minutes. Improvado syncs contacts, contributions, memberships, events, activities, campaigns, and cases with full historical backfill from your CiviCRM installation.

2

Ask

Query: Ask "Which members are due for renewal in the next 30 days with lifetime value over $1,000?" Your agent surfaces 34 members worth $87K in total contributions, with membership types, renewal dates, last engagement dates, and email open rates from linked campaign data.

3

Act

Act: Command "Create renewal reminder activities for each member and add them to the VIP renewal campaign." Agent writes 34 new activities assigned to membership coordinators, adds contacts to campaign group, and logs all changes with audit trail.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does Improvado connect to CiviCRM?
Improvado connects to CiviCRM through the REST API using secure API key authentication, typically completing setup in under 15 minutes. You generate API credentials from your CiviCRM installation, and Improvado immediately begins syncing historical data including contacts, contributions, memberships, events, activities, and campaigns. The connector supports both cloud-hosted and self-hosted CiviCRM installations with full historical backfill.
What CiviCRM data does Improvado pull?
Improvado extracts contacts with demographics, addresses, phone numbers, emails, and custom fields, contributions with amounts, payment methods, financial types, and campaign attribution, memberships with types, status, start and end dates, events with registrations, attendance, and participant status, activities including meetings, calls, and tasks, campaigns and mailings with open rates and click-through rates, cases for issue tracking, and relationships between constituents. The connector also captures custom data fields, tags, groups, and notes.
How often does CiviCRM data refresh?
CiviCRM data syncs every 15 minutes by default, ensuring your AI agent works with current constituent, contribution, and membership information. You can adjust sync frequency based on your operational needs or trigger manual refreshes for immediate updates before major campaigns or events. Enterprise customers receive configurable sync intervals down to 5 minutes for time-sensitive fundraising and event management.
Can the AI agent write data back to CiviCRM?
Yes. Your AI agent can update contact records and custom fields, create activities and tasks for staff follow-up, modify membership statuses and renewal dates, add event registrations, update contribution records and payment information, manage campaign assignments and group memberships, and create cases for issue tracking. Every write action is logged in Improvado's audit trail with user attribution, timestamp, and specific field changes, enabling full governance and compliance with nonprofit data management requirements.
Is CiviCRM data secure with Improvado?
Improvado is SOC 2 Type II certified, HIPAA compliant, and GDPR ready, meeting the strict data protection requirements of nonprofit and advocacy organizations. All CiviCRM data is encrypted in transit via TLS 1.3 and at rest using AES-256 encryption. API credentials are stored in secure vaults with role-based access controls, and all constituent data access is logged for audit purposes. Improvado never shares your constituent data with third parties.
How does CiviCRM connect with other platforms in Improvado?
Improvado maps CiviCRM data to a Common Data Model that unifies contacts, contributions, memberships, and events with data from 1,000+ marketing, fundraising, and engagement platforms. Your agent can correlate CiviCRM donor records with email engagement in Mailchimp, match contribution patterns with social media activity from Facebook, or compare event registrations against ad campaign performance in Google Ads. Cross-platform constituent profiles are built automatically without manual data mapping.
