Individual advocate links in one Outreach

When you insert a campaign's Advocate Unique Link using GiveCampus Links in an Outreach email, it appears in the editor as a merge token such as $Advocate_URL[123]$. The number in brackets is the campaign ID. Seeing this placeholder while editing is expected; it is not evidence that the link is broken.

During actual delivery, GiveCampus replaces the token with each recipient's individual advocate link. You can use the same token in one email sent to multiple advocates; you do not need to paste a separate URL for each person.

To test the personalized link:

1. Open the option to send a test email.
2. Under Example Data, use Select constituent to generate data preview to select a known advocate whose details should populate the merge fields.
3. Choose your test email recipients and send the test.
4. Check the delivered test email and its advocate link. The link uses the selected constituent's details. The test is sent only to your chosen test email addresses, not to the constituent merely because you selected their data.

A test sent without selecting a constituent does not populate the recipient-specific advocate link. An unresolved placeholder in that test does not mean the actual delivery will fail. Select a constituent and test again before diagnosing a broken link.

GiveCampus must be able to resolve the recipient to the relevant advocate user for the selected campaign. Finish importing advocates and test with a known advocate. If the token remains unresolved even with constituent example data selected, contact Support with the Outreach, campaign, selected constituent and what appears in the delivered test.

This is the native Outreach advocate-link workflow. Generating autofill CSV links (?aft=...) or using ADID links is not required to resolve this placeholder or test it.
