Argenta allows you to keep track of all the engagement activities that take place with your donors.  Engagement activities include when donors make donations or when you engage with them via email, U.S. mail, or by text.  Argenta keeps track of all the engagements that take place in one easy place. These are different than board member engagements and volunteer engagements.
 
Argenta automatically creates some engagements for you. 
  • When your Donor places and online donation this automatically creates a donor engagement type of "Made An Online Donation."  
  • When your Donor registers online for an event and a free ticket option is selected then the engagement is created automatically with an engagement type of "Registered for an Event (No Tickets)."
  • When your Donor registers online for an event and purchases a ticket then the engagement is created automatically with an engagement type of "Registered for an Event & Purchased Tickets."
