Agentforce Nonprofit (Nonprofit Cloud)

This is a public group for discussion around the Agentforce Nonprofit product (formerly called Nonprofit Cloud) which was launched in March 2023. This is a new purpose-built solution built on the Salesforce Platform for Nonprofits. Use this group for questions and discussion about the Nonprofit Cloud. NOTE: Agentforce Nonprofit uses a different architecture than the Nonprofit Success Pack (NPSP). So if you are a current customer and want the new functionality, you will need to implement in a new org.

    Hi Peggy, 

     

    Since you specifically need event badge scanning too (not just business cards), ScanBizCards stands out for your nonprofit use case — it explicitly handles both business cards and conference/trade show badges, exports directly into Salesforce Leads/Contacts, and offers a 14-day free trial. 

     

    Other solid AppExchange options worth comparing: 

    - Vision-e — also does both business cards and event/trade show badges, positions itself as an ongoing networking tool, not just a one-time scan. 

    - WorldCard Cloud — strong OCR accuracy, straightforward Salesforce Lead/Contact sync, but business-card only (no dedicated badge scanning). 

    - CamCard Business — good for high-volume event scanning, per-user subscription with team discounts. 

     

    Since budget matters for nonprofits, I'd start with ScanBizCards' free trial and Vision-e's demo, since both cover your dual need (cards + badges) — check each vendor directly for nonprofit/discounted pricing, since AppExchange listings don't usually publish that upfront.

Just starting out with Agentforce Nonprofit (AFNP)? Getting stakeholder management right — individuals, households, relationships, affiliations — is one of the hardest parts of a new implementation. There are a lot of objects, a lot of settings, and a lot of choices to make at once. 

 

The Stakeholder Management Quick Start is a free, open-source Global Public Sector Accelerator built specifically for new AFNP customers. It installs an unmanaged package with best-practice configuration already in place — so admins can focus on their organization's needs instead of figuring out the plumbing. 

 

Who is this for?

 Admins and implementation teams starting a new Agentforce Nonprofit implementation who need the stakeholder data model set up correctly from day one. 

 

Why was this built?

The AFNP stakeholder model — households, relationships, affiliations, contact points — requires dozens of interconnected decisions before staff can use it effectively. Without a clear starting point, implementations often end up with duplicate records, broken address syncs, and cleanup debt that builds silently for months. This accelerator provides the starting line. 

 

How can it help me?

Install the package and get the following out of the box:

  • Households — automated household naming, Party Relationship Group creation, and a guided screen flow for adding/removing members and managing per-member address and phone sync
  • Relationships & Affiliations — guided flows for individual-to-individual, person-to-org, and org-to-org relationships with automatic reciprocal creation, customizable roles, and support for preserving history
  • Contact Info — Contact Point Address, Phone, and Email as the system of record, with per-member household sync that respects individual preferences
  • Setup — custom app, Dynamic Lightning Pages, permission sets, quick actions, and field help text ready to go

What does it cost?

Nothing. It's free and open source.

We are exploring connecting Salesforce NPC to Sage Intacct (a one way integration). Does anyone in this group currently have an integration set up from NPC to Intacct, whether it's via the AppExchange or custom built? Would love to connect!

Hi Salesforce Community,

I am working with Tamas Society, an Indian nonprofit organisation. We have received Salesforce Enterprise Edition (10 donated users) through the Salesforce nonprofit programme.

We want to integrate WhatsApp with Salesforce so that we can:

  1.  Capture WhatsApp enquiries as Salesforce Leads/Contacts. 
  2.  Maintain the WhatsApp conversation against the Lead/Contact record. 
  3.  Automatically assign enquiries to the appropriate team member. 
  4.  Send automated/approved WhatsApp messages from Salesforce. 
  5.  Eventually connect WhatsApp enquiries to our Sales/Export pipeline. 

My question: Does our donated Salesforce Enterprise license include the required Messaging / Digital Engagement / WhatsApp functionality, or do we need an additional Salesforce product/license?

If an additional product is required, are there any free or discounted nonprofit options available through the Salesforce nonprofit programme?

I would particularly appreciate guidance on the exact setup path and any additional licenses/entitlements we should request.

Thank you.

Hello! 

I'm trying to learn more about Agentforce Nonprofit. Interaction Summaries seem pretty similar to adding call notes or meeting notes on Activities. With Action Plans, it seems like AFNP wants folks to also be using Activities for tracking calls and meetings. Any theories or insights on the benefits of having this separate object?  

One thing that seems odd to me - I'm seeing you can add a "Related Record" but Task/Event aren't options. I would think you'd want to be able to connect meeting notes in an Interaction Summary with the actual meeting record.  

It also seems redundant with the Participants related list - that's just like adding multiple invitees to an Event.  

So far my guess is that this object is meant to get around some of the existing limitations and setup of Activities. Like how Activities are auto-archived. I'm seeing in a description of Interaction Summaries that they are "secure, permanent records". So they're not auto-archived, and maybe you can get more granular security with them?  

At a glance, this seems like a clunky design decision to have both objects and no automated or built-in connection between them (that I've seen yet) like creating/generating an interaction summary from the Activity record. Would love to hear about other people's experience or insights working with this object: does having these separate objects make sense to you? Or have you found them clunky (and if so, what are you doing to deal?)?  

Thank you!

    Your theory about Interaction Summaries being a more durable layer than Activities makes sense. This is especially true if they are designed as secure, permanent records rather than operational activity logs. It also makes me think there’s an opportunity for the Nonprofit Check Plus API to add value by automatically validating nonprofit information and enriching the context captured from those interactions. The missing piece, to me, is an automated connection between the Activity record, Interaction Summary, and verified nonprofit data. This ensures staff are not maintaining three separate sources manually.

Does anyone know if we can access the preconfigured Actionable List Statuses in a Flow?  I'd like to create a Flow that sends staff an email alert if a donor on their Actionable List gives a donation.  

 

When you create an Actionable List in Setup, you set the Statuses. Perhaps they are stored as metadata or records in an Object? I see a lookup on Actionable List to Actionable List Member Status, but that object isn't viewable in Object Manager.   

 

Thought I'd check here before opening a case. Thanks!

Hi Nonprofit Community! Weekly Roundup - Aug 7

 

Team Update

 Before I dive into my usual weekly update, I wanted to take a moment to welcome our teammate @Natalie Larino, who's been working with us for the last 1.5 years and is officially full-time starting this week! Check out her linkedin post HERE and give her a welcome! Help me congratulate Natalie, because her going full-time means even more support for our programs, events, and everything else we do for you all. Lots of other changes in the ecosystem this week... but this one's worth celebrating!
