Without Bluelink
Teams often download, modify, and upload files by hand. Lacking a view of users across tools costs time and money. Supporters don’t feel seen because they’re asked to donate right after they donated or texted a voter ID question when they’ve already volunteered.
With Bluelink
It’s easy to move data between your tools. Your supporters’ experience is in line with ecommerce where an item you clicked follows you around the internet for weeks.
How Does It Work?
Connect two tools to text your donors a quick thank you.
- #1 Choose the source system (e.g., donation app)
- #2 Choose the destination system (e.g., texting app)
- #3 Choose how often the data gets synced (e.g., every 15 min)
It's Your Data
- Your data pipeline lives in an isolated google cloud container.
- We encrypt your data and make sure it gets to your destination.
- We never merge or share your data with anyone.

Engineers build product not pipes
- Integrate once to publish and subscribe to data from multiple systems.
- Rely on a common data model for actions (donations, events, outreach, etc.) whether it comes from one donation tool or another. You can still get all the raw data if needed.
- Eliminate the maintenance for your integrations and focus on your core product. Don’t worry when the Facebook API changes.
