Two Acknowledgements, Two Constituents, One Transaction!

I've had trouble getting this to work for some time, and wonder if I can get someone's advice. When we process a gift membership, we would like that contribution to trigger 2 acknowledgement letters - 1 receipt for the giver and 1 membership card for the receiver.

I can set both of these letters up, get them to be triggered by the contribution, and even have them write to the correct constituents in their "Contact Log". However, I can only get one to "queue up" with the Write Acknowledgement Letters report at a time.

When I have both ack letters active, only one of them is pulled by this report (even when I try selecting the reprint option). When I delete one of them, the other queues up, and vice versa.

Does anyone else have 2 acks triggered and written to 2 different constituents with just 1 contribution? If so, could you walk me through your Acknowledgment Rules setup and other processes? Thanks!

  • Hi Summer!

    We have this set up and haven't had any trouble. I can send you an example of our Acknowledgement rules we set up for gift memberships.

    Update: I did some investigation, and I think the problem is with the acknowledgement letter itself. I went into the contribution window and "duplicated" the acknowledgement that was created but not queued. Then I ran the Print Acknowledgement Letters report, selected that template type, made sure "reprint" was set to No, and the report still came up blank!

    I think this might be a problem with the acknowledgement template itself, even though it looks identical to all the other letters I have set up. Anyone experience anything similar?

    Yes. For matching gifts, we have a thank you queued up for the individual AND a thank you queued up for the company.

    Thanks,
