Tatango’s integration with Blackbaud's Luminate Online (LO) Groups makes it easy for nonprofits to sync their LO and TeamRaiser (TR) Groups with Tatango to segment text messages. It also helps you target texts by LO Groups and keep opt-in and opt-out statuses up to date across LO/TR and Tatango.

This integration lets you build advanced segments in Luminate Online and sync them to Tatango as Tags — like donor groups, event participants, advocates, and more. These segments are synced into Tatango as tags, making it easy to tailor text messaging to the right audience. Additional constituent-level fields from LO, such as external last gift amount, zip code and first/last name, can also be synced for more precise targeting.

How to Setup the Luminate Online Groups Integration

  1. Contact your Customer Success Manager

  2. During a discovery call, we’ll work with you to:

    1. Exclude certain audiences from the sync

    2. Add any fields from LO constituent records during the sync

    3. Identify the best way to track text opt-ins and opt-outs in your LO instance

  3. All that’s required to enable the integration is:

    1. Grant API access to your Luminate Online instance (host name, login name, password, and API key)

    2. If it doesn't already exist, add a Luminate Online text opt-in or opt-out field
