Fundraiser Email Alerts
Psst... Hey Fundraisers!
Are you using your “Prospects of” Group to its fullest extent? They’re built out to do more than just send you email notifications. You can use them to check if your prospects have given yet this fiscal year, review the LAIT scores of your prospects, and even include plan participants in the groups. We also have resources available to help you navigate the groups with finesse. Check them out once you’re done reading about setting up your email alerts!
Most fundraisers’ portfolio sizes range from 75-125 prospects. This is a lot to keep track of! How can it be managed? Email alerts are a great way to stay updated with prospects’ activities and stay proactive with managing your portfolio.
How can I subscribe to these email alerts?
In order to receive fundraiser email alerts, you must be tagged with a Fundraiser constituency in GAIL. You must also have a “Prospects of” Group in GAIL. These groups are automatically created and populated when a fundraiser creates a plan on a prospect.
Once you have your appropriate constituency and group, from the Prospects functional area in GAIL, click on My UGA Email Alerts under the Configuration header. If you are already subscribed to any email alerts, you will see them listed on the next screen. Click the Add button to add additional alerts or click the alerts already there to Unsubscribe.
There are also a number of Prospect Email Alerts that can be set from your own constituent record. On the left side of the screen, under Fundraiser Tasks, you’ll see Configure Prospect Email Alerts. Check these boxes and enter your email address to begin receiving these specific alerts.
Can other members of my team subscribe?
Absolutely! If you have several people on your team who assist you with your portfolio, they can also sign-up to receive these alerts. They will still need the fundraiser constituency on their profile. However, they will not need a “Prospects of” Group.

How often will I receive email alerts?
Email alerts are sent in a daily digest format. The more alerts you have subscribed to and the more prospects you have in your portfolio, the longer the digest will be. Some alerts will not appear on your digest every day. For example, the birthday alerts will only display once a month. If at any point you want to remove certain alerts from your digest, you can return to the My UGA Email Alerts screen and unsubscribe.
