Multi-platform integrations via Zapier, Make, MuleSoft, or similar middleware
One of the most limiting things about using Foundant is the lack of connectivity to other platforms that we all use. Even in cases where there is some integration (like with MailChimp) that integration is extremely limited.
I found those ideas all via one quick search in the Idea Lab for the word "integrate." I bet there are many other requests that could also be solved this way.
If you're considering voting for this and want to know more, you can see all of the integrations available via Zapier, Make, and MuleSoft at these locations:
Zapier: https://zapier.com/apps
Make: https://www.make.com/en/integrations
MuleSoft: https://docs.mulesoft.com/connectorsFoundant is a relatively small company and obviously doesn't have the capacity to develop connectors between CSuite and the many platforms we all use.
Instead, I suggest that Foundant focus on developing a connector to one middleware platform like Zapier, Make, or MuleSoft. CSuite could connect to one of these platforms, then users could create integrations between CSuite and many other.
I did a quick search in the Idea Lab and found a number of suggestions that could all be solved by a middleware integration. Here are some examples:

board portal
Create a Board portal. A place to put documents, ByLaws, minutes, agendas, governance documents etc. Board would login here to retrieve documents for meetings instead of email and re-emailing with changes.

Add # of Gifts field to Profile reports
You recently added "First Gift Date" and "Last Gift Date" as fields you can see on a profile report. It would be nice if you also added a "# of Gifts" field.

Profile Updates: "Add Opportunity" and Active Opportunities Should Be On Engagement Tab, Not Relationship Tab
With the new profile updates, Add Opportunity is now under Relationships. Opportunities are an engagement strategy, not a link to another profile. Please either keep Add Opportunity on the left menu for all tabs or put it under the Engagement Tab. Please put Opportunities under the Engagement Tab.

Viewing all notes for a Household profile and any members
It would be great if we had the option to view all notes for a household and any member profiles in one location. We can make a custom report for this but it involves using a filter. It would be easier for all users if there was an option to view all notes while on the Household profile.

Linking profiles to funds- multiple links at a time
It would be very helpful and much less clicks if there was an ability from the "link fund" or "link profile" screen on the profile if you could link that certain profile more than once to a fund or other profiles before creating. Like at this screen attached if there were multiple boxes if you wanted to link the profile to another fund, same fund, etc. instead of going back to the profile screen and clicking link again.
Or at least be able to link to one fund at a time but have multiple fund categories to one fund per profile on that screen.

Add Contact First and Last Name to Year End Tax Receipt template fields
Add Contact First and Last Name as field options for year end tax receipt templates. It would be nice to add the name of an organization's primary contact (which we add to org's first and last name, plus first name in the Salutation) so when sending tax receipt letters for our annual giving day, we don't have to edit the PDF to include the names (I've already voted that these export to Word files). Thank you!

Term Investment - default fund/accounts would be helpful
Term Investments - have defaults for revenue accounts, borrowing fund, asset accounts pre populated as these are always the same.
Smart tips would be helpful in creating a new term investment for distribution fields.

ApplePay, PayPal, Venmo integration
Looking for a way to collect donations from donors who don't want to write a check or use a credit card (use ApplePay, PayPal, Venmo, etc). Donors are looking for an easy way to make a quick donation on their phone and/or use QR codes for making donations. How can this integrate to capture donor information?

Balance Swap Account Filter shows closed accounts
In Cash Management - Balance Swap - Add Filter, when you select "From Account" and then checkboxes, the check list that appears includes accounts that are closed (which for us is a lot). It makes no sense that closed accounts would be showing here. It should only show open/active accounts.

Custom Task Report should show ALL tasks, not just tasks entered within an Opportunity
Custom task reports should show ALL tasks, not just the tasks that have been entered from within an Opportunity. Currently, custom task report only shows tasks entered from within an opportunity.

Add option to create a letter from a profile
I would like to have the ability to generate even a simple letter from a profile, so it auto fills name, address and I can take it from there. Add to the "Create" in the left sidebar please!

Link Tasks to the Stages in Opportunities
It would be great to be able to link tasks to the stages of an opportunity. Opportunities with tasks has the possibility to create a wonderful roadmap; however, not all stages take the same amount of time to be accomplished. When fostering relationships or solicitating money, these opportunities are dependent on each individual experience, independent of each other. While one relationship may take days, another may take months or even years. To have tasks have to be set by time and not stage, is to say that each opportunity takes exactly the same amount of time, while clearly, they do not.
I would love to be able to click a new stage and have it populated with tasks specific to that stage of the opportunity. When that stage is complete, I would be able to select the next stage, that too would bring with it a new set of tasks specific to that stage, and so on and so forth until the opportunity was completed. Stages in opportunities has the possibility to act as a roadmap and if you made tasks in opportunities linked to stages and not time, you could truly unleash how opportunities is and can be used. Thanks!

Ability to Build Custom Financial Statements in the Reports Section
There are numerous reports that can be customized when you go to the Reports section. I do not see any for creating financial statements. It would be great if you could add more than one column option to a report. Currently we are copying and pasting exported reports to build our desired reports. We have to export 12 financial reports to get to the 6 we want.

Spendable distributions scheduling
The ability to schedule when spendable grants are to be made would be very helpful. We currently maintain a spreadsheet that lists funds, grantees, and timing of grants to know when to go "grant spendable" each year. Being able to set the date to be granted on the beneficiary would be most helpful. I'm thinking something along the lines of the recurring grants process.

grant type guidestar
It would be great if it were possible for the "Grant Type" (we use NTEE codes) to auto-populate from Guidestar when doing the Guidestar Charity Check. Currently, staff has to manually look them up in our organization's separate Guidestar account for each grantee when processing an award.

Impact Investing
With Impact Investing becoming a more prevalent means of helping our communities, it would be very helpful to have a way to allocate these loans to multiple funds without having to have an outside massive spreadsheet to "revenue share" manually and account for repayment manually to each fund. The loan feature does not work for this as that is only allocable to one fund and Investment Strategy does not work as you can also only allocate one per fund.

text communication to student applicants
I'm on a call with several scholarship managers, several of whom use foundant and we want to be able to communicate with students via text for reminding them about applications, followups, etc... What a difference that would make!

QR Code generated for online tickets sold for fundraising events & check in capabilities
Our world has moved to paperless tickets, it would be awesome when people purchase an online ticket for a fundraising event, they can receive a receipt that has a QR code they can save on their phone and can be scanned at the door when they check-in. Like they have for concerts/ball games. It would be nice if there was a platform then to scan those tickets and the system can record that they are checked in on Csuite. Don't want to use another site/platform to do it.(Eventbrite). Would be nice to have them all in one place and since they bought the ticket on Csuite.

Docusign Integration
Foundant is considering integrating Docusign with GLM & SLM. Is this under consideration for C Suite as well? We'd love to have this integration capability on the C Suite side too.
