All data from the Refugee Walk automatically processed into CiviCRM

Vluchtelingenwerk Vlaanderen have been using CiviCRM for more than 10 years to manage their donors and donations, events, contacts and process bank files. Every year they organize the Refugee Walk, a fundraising event where participants walk and recruit sponsors. Up to 2023 Vluchtelingenwerk Vlaanderen downloaded teams, sponsors, participants and donations manually from the Refugee Walk webapp, transformed the resulting CSV files and manually imported them into CiviCRM. A lot of work.
Together with CiviCooP they developed a connector in 2023 that automatically pulls data from the Refugee Walk webapp and processes that into CiviCRM contacts, contributions, events, participants and activities. This saves a lot of time, makes sure the relevant data is available quickly and makes follow up communication a lot easier.
