A small but powerful tool within the Qgiv system is the ability to add a unique tracking code, similar to a UTM code, that will be added to the record for each transaction.
This is called Associated Info and will populate in your reports and admin notifications if appended to your donation form URLs.
Contents:
Donation Forms
To use the associated info system with year-round donation forms, just add "/info/" plus a unique code of your choice to the end of your form URL. This code will show up in transaction report downloads and is available to use in some of our integrations.
Example: https://secure.qgiv.com/for/myformkey/info/mycampaign
When you download the Transactions Details or Transactions Summary report, you’ll see a column labeled Associated Info. Whatever value you added to the end of the donation form’s URL will appear in that column.
Peer-to-Peer Forms
To use the associated info system with peer-to-peer donation forms, you’ll add "/donate?info=" plus a unique code of your choice to the end of your form URL. This code will show up in transaction report downloads and is available to use in some of our integrations.
Example: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/alias/donate?info=mycampaign
When you download the Transactions Details or Transactions Summary report, you’ll see a column labeled Associated Info. Whatever value you added to the end of the donation form’s URL will appear in that column.
Auction Forms
To use the associated info system with auction forms, you’ll add "?info=" plus a unique code of your choice to the end of your form URL. This code will show up in transaction report downloads and is available to use in some of our integrations.
Example: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/alias?info=mycampaign
When you download the Transactions Details or Transactions Summary report, you’ll see a column labeled Associated Info. Whatever value you added to the end of the auction form’s URL will appear in that column.
Use Cases
With Associated Info, you can track which donation links from your website result in the most donations on your form. Using creative info tags, you can:
- Create a tracking code for specific giving campaigns or segments.
- Add a tracking code for links shared through social media.
- Track gifts that come from specific email asks.
- Embed a URL in a QR code to gauge the success of a mailer.
Widgets
You can use Associated Info with embedded URLs as well.
Please note: Only year-round donation forms can be embedded. Embedding is not supported for peer-to-peer or auction forms.
To customize a URL outside of what's already offered in the Widgets interface, add the additional parameters to the URL in the "data-embed" attribute of your widget embed code.
Example:
<div class="qgiv-embed-container" data-qgiv-embed="true" data-embed-id="160" data-embed="https://secure.qgiv.com/for/yourformkey/embed/123/info/mycampaign" data-width="564"></div>
<script>(function(w, d, s, id){var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];if (d.getElementById(id)) return;js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;js.src = "https://secure.qgiv.com/resources/core/js/embed.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);})(window, document, 'script', 'qgiv-embedjs');</script>
