Using the WinRed App

WinRed changes how conservative and center-right groups fundraise online. This app brings those contributions into ContactDrive as they happen.

Setting it up

1. Add WinRed from the Apps marketplace.
2. In the app, create a WinRed webhook configuration. You'll get a URL.
3. Create an API key in Settings > API Keys and append it to the URL — WinRed's posts have to be authenticated, same as any inbound webhook.
4. In WinRed, add that URL as a webhook destination. WinRed's own guide is here.

What arrives

WinRed's payload fields are mapped onto ContactDrive's contact fields before anything is written, so a contribution creates or updates the donor's contact record and records the contribution as an activity on their timeline.

You get the donor and the donation in one motion, matched against contacts you already have rather than piling up duplicates.

Pair it with Donations

Install the Donations app alongside this one. Donations supplies the giving fields — amount, source, purpose, payment method, lifetime totals — that turn a stream of incoming contributions into something you can actually report on.
