Adding Campaign, Giving Form, Event, and Advocate Links to Emails in GC Volunteer Management

Volunteers and admins can now insert campaign, giving form, and event links into GC Volunteer Management emails without hunting for URLs, including each volunteer's own advocate link.

Why advocate links matter

When a volunteer shares their advocate link and someone gives through it, the gift is credited to that volunteer and they appear as an advocate on the campaign. Before this update, admins had to log in as each volunteer and copy their link by hand.

How to insert a link

1. Start a new email in GC Volunteer Management.
2. Click the link picker in the email toolbar.
3. Choose the type of link: a campaign, a giving form, or an event.
4. Select the campaign, form, or event you want.
5. For a campaign link, choose "Advocacy" to insert the sending volunteer's own advocate link.

From there, you can assign your volunteers a task to do their outreach using the template you’ve just created and the clicks, donors, and dollars they generate will be tracked on the campaign!

Sending advocate links to all your volunteers

Admins can also email every volunteer their own advocate link in one send if you want to encourage them to post on social, not just email their assignments.

1. Start an email to your volunteers.
2. Use the link picker to insert the campaign link and choose "Advocacy."
3. Send. Each volunteer receives a version with their own advocate link.

Tip: Pair this with a short note on how to share the link, such as a sample text or social post, so volunteers can act on it right away. 

Good to know

• Volunteers can't yet see their advocate clicks and dollars inside GC Volunteer Management. This is in progress.
