The E-mail Fundraising Badge is a real-time progress badge for Participant E-mails & External Websites.
Using a Fundraising Badge allows fundraisers to communicate their success graphically in e-mails sent through the Participant Centre or by embedding it in external websites, like a personal blog.
Enabling the Badge for Participants
Organizations can enable the Fundraising Badge from the "Edit - Share/Badge/Welcome" menu in Pledge and Multi-Pledge events.
Upload an image with a white space on it to be used as the Fundraising Badge. The system automatically finds the white space and uses it for the thermometer. The badge shows the goal set by the participant, the amount achieved, the progress thermometer and the percentage of the goal achieved.
In addition to uploading the image used as the badge, organizations can choose the colour for the foreground font and progress bar. The font type, size and colour are preset and cannot be altered. The percentage always appears in the middle of the progress bar space.
You can click the"Preview" to see how your badge will look with custom settings applied to it.
How to add Badges from the Participant Centre
Once you have enabled the Badge, event Participants can access it from their logged in Participant Centre. Participants may:
- Append in emails that they send by clicking the "Include a fundraising badge in your emails." checkbox. This will add their real-time badge to the bottom of the message.
- Copy the image link to their clipboard from the Fundraising Badge section in Get Social. The image link can then be embedded into external websites as needed.
Real-time updates to the badge occur on every fundraising activity related to the participant that affects the amount that they've raised (Confirmed or Confirmed and Unconfirmed amounts, based on your settings) and their goal.
