How do I get notified of a failed recurring donation?

As a GiveSmart Fundraise user, you can choose to receive an email notification when a recurring donation fails to bill. This email will include details about the recurring donation so you can reach out to the donor to help update their card information or set up a new recurring gift.


What's included in the notification? 

The email notification received on a failed recurring gift will come from noreply@mobilecause.com, and will look like this:

One of your recurring donations has been cancelled due to failing to bill for 5 days in a row. Here are the details:
Name: John Doe
Amount: $10.00
Phone: 15555555555
Email: demo@givesmart.com
You can unsubscribe from these emails under User Info in your GiveSmart Fundraise Account.
