Simple, for good or bad
We used Salsa Engage as our email and donation management system. This was tied to our CRM system.
- Simple to set up
- Easy to develop donation forms
- Easy to develop emails
- Limited design functionality
- Reporting is not very robust
- Properly linking to external databases is challenging
- Importing data to properly group audiences is challenging
- Email
- Donation form
- Constituent records
- It's critical to accept online donations
- It's also important to communicate with your database
- Being able to track constituent behavior is also helpful
Salsa Engage is one of the easier products to set up and use, but with that comes limitations. If you want something simple, this works, but if you have more complex needs, then you'd be better off investing in another system that requires more set up work, but provides more customization and robust reporting opportunities.

Salsa Engage
We use it for fundraising events - one of which is a skate-a-thon. They get pledges for skating. And we have sponsorships. It allows us to give skaters their own pages to get their pledges. This is the event I have supported for setting up the platform for 2 years.
- Peer-to-peer pages.
- Page design.
- Some functionality is not obvious.
- Communications capabilities.
- Peer-to-peer.
- Ease of calling for tech support. We have always gotten thru and gotten great support for our questions as we were developing our pages.
- Our event participants are always maxed out and Engage allows them an easy way to sign up and participate.
