A message is displayed indicating that your custom report is being built. - Select Ok.
When the report is ready, an email is sent to your inbox and the report is ready for download on the Reports page.
Download Report
- On the ACS REALM Technologies Integration page, select the Reports tab.
- Find the report in the list and select the Download icon in the Report column. Once a report has been downloaded, the name of the person and date is displayed for the report.
The number of Donors to match and Envelopes to match is also displayed. These are the donors and envelopes that have not been matched to your donors or envelopes.
Match Envelopes to Fund Codes
To match envelopes to your ACS Realm Fund Code, follow these steps:
- On the ACS REALM Technologies Integration page, select the Envelopes tab.
- In the filter drop-down, choose Unmatched to display a list of envelopes that do not have assigned fund codes.
- Enter the ACS Realm Fund Code for each envelope you want donations to be able to match and then select Done.
Edit Envelopes Matched to Fund Code
To edit an envelope that already has an ACS Realm Fund Code assigned, follow these steps:
- Select the filter drop-down and choose Matched to display a list of envelopes that have already been assigned a fund code.
- Select the ACS Realm Fund Code already assigned and enter the new value.
- Select Done.
Import Givelify Report into ACS Realm
Once you receive the ACS Realm Integration report from Givelify, follow these steps to upload your Givelify report to ACS Realm:
- On your computer, visit onrealm.org and log in to your organization’s account.
- Expand Giving in the navigation menu and select Contributions.

- Select Import.
- On the pop-up preview screen, confirm that everything is accurate and select Yes, Continue.
A message is displayed confirming that your batch import is successful and shows all Givelify giving entries routed to the ACS Realm Contributions. - Review the summary of how many rows from the file either succeeded or failed to import.
- Select Fix Invalid Rows to resolve any issues.
Note: Failed rows can result from ACS Realm’s inability to match the Donor’s name, Fund Codes, or any duplicate entries. - Select Download the .csv of errors to review the reasons for the mismatches, make the necessary updates to the .csv file and save the changes.
- Select Choose File to upload the newly updated .csv file and then select Re-import the corrected .csv.
- If there are still issues after correcting the import, manually add to the batch by selecting the appropriate options (Check, Cash, or Other) at the top of your open batch.
- Once your batch is properly updated, select Post to post the contributions.
