Frequently asked questions

Ceven uses the Get Non Profit by EIN tool to verify the tax status of any organization before a gift is processed. By pulling the official nine digit Employer Identification Number record, the agent confirms the entity is a registered 501c3 or equivalent charitable organization. If a user provides a name that is ambiguous, the agent runs a search and asks for confirmation against the retrieved EIN data to prevent funds from being sent to the wrong entity. This process ensures that every transaction is compliant with tax laws and that the money reaches the intended destination without manual verification of the nonprofit status.
Yes. While Daffy handles the fund, Ceven provides the logic layer for recurrence. You can set up a workflow that triggers the Create Gift action on a specific schedule, such as the first of every month. The agent can be programmed to check the Get Balance tool first to ensure there are sufficient funds before attempting the gift. If the balance is too low, the agent can send you a notification or trigger a contribution to the fund from a linked account. This turns a static fund into a dynamic giving strategy that runs in the background without manual intervention.
When the Search Non Profits tool returns a large list, Ceven applies a filtering layer based on your predefined cause preferences. The agent analyzes the query text and the cause ID to narrow down the most relevant matches. If multiple high confidence matches remain, the agent will present a curated list of the top three options, including their EIN and location, and ask you to select the correct one. This prevents the workflow from guessing and ensures that the gift is routed to the exact local chapter or national organization you intended to support.
Yes. Daffy imposes strict rate limits on their API to prevent fraud and ensure platform stability. If a workflow attempts to create dozens of gifts in a very short window, the API will return a 429 error. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, meaning the agent will pause and retry the request after a short delay. For users managing massive grant portfolios, we recommend spacing out gift executions over several hours rather than seconds to avoid hitting these limits and ensuring that every transaction is processed successfully by the Daffy backend.
Ceven can aggregate your giving data for tax purposes by pulling records from Get Donations and Get Contributions. The agent compiles these into a structured format, such as a spreadsheet or a summary report, which you can provide to your accountant. It tracks the date, amount, and recipient of every gift sent through the fund. Because Daffy provides the official tax receipt for the contribution into the fund, Ceven focuses on the distribution side, showing you exactly how your tax free growth was deployed across different causes throughout the fiscal year.
No. Ceven never interacts with your bank credentials or your primary funding source. The integration works exclusively with the Daffy API. When you want to add money to your fund, the agent can notify you that the balance is low, but the actual transfer of funds from your bank to Daffy must be initiated within the Daffy app or website for security reasons. Ceven only manages the money once it has already landed in your donor advised fund, handling the distribution and tracking of those assets to various nonprofits.
The agent uses the Get User Causes tool to understand your philanthropic priorities. These causes act as tags that the agent uses to filter search results. For example, if you have Education and Arts listed as causes, and you ask the agent to find a place to donate in New York, it will prioritize nonprofits that match those specific cause IDs. This creates a personalized giving experience where the agent understands your values and only suggests organizations that align with your historical giving patterns and stated preferences.
Ceven supports the authenticated user profile associated with the connected Daffy account. If you manage multiple funds for different family members, you must connect each account separately. The agent maintains a distinct context for each connection, allowing you to specify which fund you are referencing in your prompts. For example, you can tell the agent to pull the balance for the family fund and then create a gift from the personal fund. This separation ensures that funds are not mixed and that the giving history for each account remains distinct.
