It’s also a chance to get to know your customer success manager. ### What should I prepare for the kickoff meeting? We recommend that you consider the following questions as a team in advance: - What is our ideal go-live date? Is there a particular campaign you want to start with?  - Who will be your project manager for the Dataro implementation? - What team members should be included from the fundraising + IT/database team? - What does success with Dataro look like for you? ### Who should attend the kickoff meeting? We encourage your whole team to join the kickoff meeting, but especially your executive sponsor, your project lead, and a member of your fundraising & database team. - [Dataro 3.0](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/dataro-3-0?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Getting Started](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/dataro-3-0?hsLang=en#getting-started) - [Audiences](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/dataro-3-0?hsLang=en#audiences) - [Insights](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/dataro-3-0?hsLang=en#insights) - [ProspectAI](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/dataro-3-0?hsLang=en#prospectai) - [Playbooks](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/dataro-3-0?hsLang=en#playbooks) - [Audience Builder](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/dataro-3-0?hsLang=en#audience-builder) - [Introduction to Dataro](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/introduction-to-dataro?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Overview](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/introduction-to-dataro?hsLang=en#overview) - [Onboarding](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/introduction-to-dataro?hsLang=en#onboarding) - [Audience Building](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/audience-building?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Individual Donor View](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/audience-building?hsLang=en#individual-donor-view) - [Building Audiences](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/audience-building?hsLang=en#building-audiences) - [Using Audiences](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/audience-building?hsLang=en#using-audiences) - [Reporting](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/reporting?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Campaign Insights](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/reporting?hsLang=en#campaign-insights) - [Fundraising Insights](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/reporting?hsLang=en#fundraising-insights) - [Reports & Dashboards](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/reporting?hsLang=en#reports-dashboards) - [Reporting FAQ](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/reporting?hsLang=en#reporting-faq) - [Predictions](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/predictions?hsLang=en#main-content) - [What models are available?](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/predictions?hsLang=en#what-models-are-available) - [Model Features & FAQ](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/predictions?hsLang=en#model-features-faq) - [Model Performance](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/predictions?hsLang=en#model-performance) - [ProspectAI](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/prospectai?hsLang=en) - [Playbooks](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/playbooks?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Appeals HQ](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/playbooks?hsLang=en#appeals-hq) - [Recurring Giving HQ](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/playbooks?hsLang=en#recurring-giving-hq) - [Mid-Level Giving HQ](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/playbooks?hsLang=en#mid-level-giving-hq) - [Major Giving HQ](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/playbooks?hsLang=en#major-giving-hq) - [Legacy Giving HQ](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/playbooks?hsLang=en#legacy-giving-hq) - [Digital Marketing HQ](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/playbooks?hsLang=en#digital-marketing-hq) - [Connections & Data](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/connections-data?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Data Hub](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/connections-data?hsLang=en#data-hub) - [Data FAQ](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/connections-data?hsLang=en#data-faq) - [Salesforce](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/connections-data?hsLang=en#salesforce) - [Blackbaud Raiser's Edge NXT](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/connections-data?hsLang=en#blackbaud-raisers-edge-nxt) - [Blackbaud CRM](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/connections-data?hsLang=en#blackbaud-crm) - [Blackbaud RE7](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/connections-data?hsLang=en#blackbaud-re7) - [Microsoft Dynamics](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/connections-data?hsLang=en#microsoft-dynamics) - [Donorfy](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/connections-data?hsLang=en#donorfy) - [ThankQ CRM](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/connections-data?hsLang=en#thankq-crm) - [Dataro Agent](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/connections-data?hsLang=en#dataro-agent) - [Other integrations](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/connections-data?hsLang=en#other-integrations) - [Salesforce ECA](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/connections-data?hsLang=en#salesforce-eca) - [Content Creation](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/content-creation?hsLang=en#main-content) - [AI Assist](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/content-creation?hsLang=en#ai-assist) - [Accounts and Settings](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/accounts-and-settings?hsLang=en) - [Security & Privacy](https://support.dataro.io/knowledge/security-privacy?hsLang=en) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.dataro.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Dataro_logo_black-1-1024x256.png?width=96&height=24&name=Dataro_logo_black-1-1024x256.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://dataro.io) Copyright © 2026, Dataro
