Customize the message your Participants or Teams can use to promote your fundraiser.
When you enable Peer-to-Peer on your RallyUp Campaign, you can help your Participants* and Teams* get the word out by providing a suggested message to share. They’ll be able to copy this message and share it with their friends and family on social media or via email when contacting potential donors. While RallyUp provides placeholder text to help get you started, customizing your message can be an effective way to personalize your Campaign and better impact your audience.
*Terminology may differ according to Campaign settings.
Where can Participants and Teams find the suggested message?
The suggested message can be found in each Participant or Team Dashboard by clicking on the green link icon:
How do I customize the sharing message?
- Go to Account Navigation in the left menu and select Campaigns.
- If you have chosen a list view, click on the Campaign title. If you have chosen a grid view, click on the Campaign image.
- Select Campaign Setup.
- Go to Options in the timeline at the top and select Peer-to-Peer Options.
- Scroll down to Customize the sharing email sent by peer-to-peer participants and edit the suggested message text as you see fit.
- Select Save.
Your suggested message will immediately appear when someone clicks on the sharing link in their Dashboard:
Do Participants receive notifications when someone donates to them?
Yes, when someone gives a Participant credit for their donation, the Participant receives an automated email with the donor’s information so they can thank them personally. This email cannot be customized or disabled.
