Append designation parameters to short links without adding a second path

This article covers GiveCampus campaign administration. Available controls can vary between the classic and redesigned campaign interfaces.

Do not append new?designation=... as a path after /s/YOUR_SHORT_CODE. The short-link redirect preserves an appended designation query parameter, so the syntactic form is https://www.givecampus.com/s/YOUR_SHORT_CODE?designation=YOUR_SUPPORTED_DESIGNATION . This only prefills if its actual destination and donor flow support that designation: confirm the offered name/administrative identifier and test in a fresh session, because an existing in-progress selection takes precedence. If the short link leads to a landing page rather than checkout, use the full intended checkout URL from the autofill/link workflow and preserve tracking; the description alone does not confirm its saved destination.
