Add advocates in the redesigned campaign experience

This article covers GiveCampus campaign advocacy. Available controls depend on the campaign interface and enabled advocacy features.

Open Online Giving → Campaigns → select the campaign → Advocacy → Advocates. Choose Add Advocates, or Add Potential Advocates when the list is empty. Choose Start from an Existing Segment, Upload List of Advocates, or Add a Single New Advocate, then complete that form. Add Smart Segment Advocates is available only when the generated segment is ready. The interface says segment/upload link generation can take up to 15 minutes. Verify the completed campaign-specific advocate links before distributing them, then use the campaign advocacy area to review activity. Legacy interfaces can differ; adding a school list alone does not certify its association with this campaign.

Do uploaded advocates need to register before their links track activity?

No. An uploaded advocate can have a campaign-specific link associated with an existing account or a guest record. Their own link can track their individual activity before they create a full login account. Registration/sign-in is still needed for account or personal dashboard actions. Use each person's exported campaign advocate link; the generic Community Advocate link is different.
