Click & Pledge introduces “SmartLink”
Avoid the problem of having old links that no longer work on emails you send out, or QR codes you put on flyers or handouts. Before publishing a link, create a SmartLink!
A SmartLink is a dynamic link that lets you update the destination content without altering the original link you've already shared.
No error or broken link messages. SmartLinks follow a hierarchy defined in the URL to determine where to redirect:
- If the specified campaign or form is missing or deleted, the system will automatically fall back to the default campaign and form.
- If a Team or Fundraiser is inactive, SmartLink will redirect to its parent campaign.
To create a SmartLink, open CONNECT. Click on SmartLink in the fundraising menu.
- Select the Campaign you want to direct the link to, and then what you want to link to: a donation form, campaign page, fundraiser page, or team page.
- Select the desired Landing Page.
- Add a tracker if desired.
- Upload your logo if desired to customize the QR Code.
- Copy the link to get the “SmartLink” to publish or download the QR code.
If you need to update the destination of the link, open SmartLink, and designate the new Campaign, Landing Page, and/or tracker. Click update. The previously published link will now redirect to the new landing page.
