  1. When third parties are assigned letters of recommendations for scholarship applications, sometimes they are not able to upload the letter themselves. Instead, a member of the scholarship administration team will upload the letter (which was emailed to us) on their behalf. Even when we upload the letter for them, it is still marked as incomplete from the applicants view of the application. It would be helpful if it was marked as complete if the letter was uploaded, whether or not it was uploaded by a third party.

  2. For our "special handling" funds that have a dedicated "reply to" email (vs. our generic grants@), we have to create a full set of template emails for each fund. If a "reply to" email could be attached to a process and serve as a merge field, we could use one set of templates for all of our funds.

  3. We would like to be able to show students' names to evaluators but have their contact information (mailing address, email address, phone number, etc.) hidden from evaluators.

  4. I should like a report that lists the first and last name of committee member, email address, added, last edited AND THE COMMITTEE NAME, PROCESS, PROGRAM, SCHOLARSHIP NAME on one page.
    It would be used for updating committee members per scholarship etc.

  5. It would be extremely helpful to batch uploaded documents to the student's shared document tab for each scholarship process. Once we upload a document- an automatically triggered email is sent to the student to review the form. For example- we need to send a form for the students in the process to complete. Once we give access to students to view the form- an automatic email or Text Message is sent to the student to review and complete the form.

  6. New to SLM and very happy with it. Any chance that while we email to students (who now don't check emails anymore) do we have the technology to email and/or text. I know some other software has this ability and I hope Foundant has too?

  7. I've created an internal process for contributions that are not initiated by an external applicant (used for discretionary grants, employee matching, and ad hoc Foundation contributions). I need to alert our internal financial person, as well as our CEO, whenever one of these contribution records is entered in GLM. I had intended to use the automatic email "To Administrators (when Submitted)", but because it is only ever created internally, it is never actually "submitted" and so my auto email never gets triggered. I'd like to at least be able to use the email template I've created to manually alert these…

  8. When viewing any bucket, for example, the Draft Follow Ups, the fields presented on the page are Form, Organization, Assignee, Project Name, Due Date, Staff Person, and Amount Awarded. When I select records and choose Quick Export at the bottom to export to Excel, the fields I get returned are Process Name, Project Name, Organization Name, Applicant First Name, Applicant Last Name, Applicant Email, and Submission Modified On. This is not helpful. It would be MOST helpful if the Quick Export function exported the fields displayed on the screen. If it worked that way, it could save so much time.…

  9. Such a pain to have to type my email in every time I send a non template email!!

    If not a drop down choice of the admin and director, perhaps a default to the person who is signed in?

  10. Is there a way to create a central location for shared files, examples, templates, etc.? Sometimes, you can find what you are looking for by spending time going through all the Q&As. It would be helpful to have a "Resources" folder, with subfolders for GLM, SLM, CSuite, then further broken down into email templates, examples, follow-up forms. It would be a great place to share and compare!

    If this already exists please point me in the right direction.

    EDITED TO ADD...This would also be a great place for all of the Foundant staff to share all of their great templates,…

  11. We have multiple processes for different applicants. A registration email option to address these groups would be helpful with instructions and information pertinent to their process/funding program.

  12. While we can design an email template with an automatic signature, could we do the same for emails that are not a Template, maybe saving the complete signature in some other fashion

  13. Would be great to have at least a handful of oft used logos saved to insert rather than pulling up a url every time you send a non template email from the system.

  14. When sending to multiple users, my company alone has over 20 characters after our names. I have tried using the bcc field and some of the users think I neglected to cc others because the bcc field is a blink copy. Once I add in 5 staff members we have already exceeded 100 characters.

  15. Can we have reply's from emails we've sent from Foundant return to the Administrator (or user) that sent it in a "Messages" portal in our account?

    As a company administrator, it's hard for us to track communications if the only message tracked in Foundant is the initial email that we sent. All replies (from the grantee) and staff responses are in their personal email accounts and this can be troublesome for maintaining proper file retention policies.

  16. In SLM, please offer a two DIFFERENT email templates for these two situations: eligibility completed & application submitted. Currently, only one email to students is offered and needs to be used for BOTH situations. This is very confusing to students, causes frustration and likely prevents some students from finishing their application.

  17. Hi. I may have posted this in the wrong channel before; sorry.

    But can you offer your users the ability to add custom fields to your funder contacts? Like, I may want to add 3/5 funder contacts to an email contact list. How can I do this without clunky workarounds in the notes field or through adding it post-export?

    There are also other fields that may be valuable -- links to their LinkedIn Profiles, Start dates with the org etc.

  18. It would be very helpful to have an 'Email Applicant' button next to the 'Created Documents' on the Request Summary Page. In our work flow, we are emailing the applicants throughout the application stage, in the approval / denial stage and also after payments are posted. Having the button in a more accessible spot would make this quicker and easier!

  20. When sending an email it would be extremely helpful to have the user contacts and groups that are already in system to choose from from the TO button like you do in outlook rather than having to find and type them.
