What it can do

What Perplexity can do with DonorClerk.

Answer questions

Plain-English reports and lookups straight from your donor database.

Prepare gifts

Match cheques and payment exports to donors and suggest the fund and appeal.

Flag duplicates

Likely duplicate donors, with the reason and a link to your database’s merge screen.

Draft thank-yous

Personal drafts saved as donor notes after you approve. Nothing is emailed.

Setup

Connecting Perplexity.

DonorClerk is added as a connector. We’re in early access: members get the connector URL and these steps when we launch.

Custom connectors need a Perplexity Pro, Max or Enterprise plan.

1
Open Settings → Connectors and choose + Custom connector, then Remote.
2
Name it DonorClerk, paste your DonorClerk connector URL, choose OAuth and Streamable HTTP, and save.
3
Start a new thread, turn DonorClerk on from the sources menu, and sign in to DonorClerk when asked.

Perplexity can’t show approval cards, so DonorClerk replies with a link to approve the change on donorclerk.com. Nothing is saved until you approve there. Perplexity’s own “allow this tool” prompt doesn’t count as approval.

Use a different assistant?

DonorClerk works with apps that support remote MCP servers.
