For Leagues using Member Essentials Plus and Little Green Light, this article will show how to sync data between your Member Portal and Little Green Light. Little Green Light (LGL) is an affordable cloud-based software service built specifically to help nonprofit fundraising teams manage their donors.


The Member Essentials to Little Green Light sync feature is designed to sync current member profiles in ME to constituent records in LGL and to sync donations/transactions from current members in ME to LGL as gift records.  The transaction types that will sync are defined in the tool Accounting Reference Configuration.  See the article > Creating Accounting Reference Codes.  A transaction eligible to sync will appear in Little Green Light as a gift record attached to the member's constituent record.  

Note the sync is not designed to sync non-member transactions or former members.


Please see this link for more information on LGL, including a Getting Started Guide for Junior Leagues - https://www.littlegreenlight.com/juniorleague/. You can sign-up for a webinar, or view a recording using this link -> https://www.littlegreenlight.com/demo/ 

Here's what we need to set up the LGL integration:
1) Send the LGL API key.  In LGL , go to Settings > Integration settings > Custom Integrations > LGL API.  If no key has been created yet, below select API key, choose Member Essentials and there will be a blue button to generate the key.

2) Send the URL of your League's Little Green Light Account (Example  https://jrleaguesample.littlegreenlight.com/users/9935492) 

3) Send the list of member statuses that should be synced to LGL.  (Your League's local statuses appear under Admin > Management > Status Management) 

4) If you currently have any constituent records in LGL which are also Members, for those records:
  1. Go to the AJLI data section of the constituent profile.
  2. Fill-in the Member's AJLI ID.  You can find this in Member Essentials in the Member's profile or you can export the Member Roster - Current from the Query Tool.

To avoid duplicates, please complete this step prior to emailing Member Essentials to turn on the integration.
