A final blog about our Donor Journey sprint with Steinar and Helen from MAF Norge. Or I should really say our sprint on CiviCRM Trigger Action.

E.g. we want a trigger that a donor becomes a member of a group of its total contributions are more than 25.000 euro's.

CiviCRM has been around for 9 years, and some of the technologies that we use are older and need architectural revamping and improvements. For developers, architectural improvements will make the platform easier to adapt and easier to learn -- which means developers can spend more time creating better features to help our users and our causes.
