Your Givebutter events and campaigns now show up in your app

The short version. Givebutter Events and Givebutter Campaigns are two extensions of GoodBarber, the no-code app builder, that read a nonprofit's campaigns on Givebutter. Givebutter Events fills a Calendar section with upcoming events, at their time in the event's time zone, with their location unless you share it with attendees only. Givebutter Campaigns fills an Article section with active forms and fundraising pages, with their cover image and description. You connect them with a Givebutter API key. Both are free for Content apps: each section counts as one of the extensions included in your plan.A lot of giving already goes through Givebutter. On Giving Tuesday 2025, supporters gave $20 million on the platform, up from $16.4 million in 2024, from more than 93,000 donors across 16,000 active campaigns, according to Givebutter's recap published on December 8, 2025.

In Structure, the "Add a section" button opens a window that starts with a question: "What do you want to add?". Below it, the list gathers everything GoodBarber can add to an app, grouped by what each entry does to it: what adds a section, what fills a section from a service you already use, what works in the background without adding a screen, and what enriches a section already in place. Ideas to build with the AI Extension Builder have a group of their own.
