Inserting name of designation into donation form thank you emails

Kevin Reid · November 2014

Hello, everyone. I am creating some new donation forms that allow a donor to select from a list of designations. I am creating the corresponding thank you emails and need to insert the designation into the email. Designations do not appear in the personalization component and I can't find an S-tag. Is there an S-tag for designation? Any ideas? Thank you! - Kevin

I'm asking around on this one. I can't find a way to do this either. I'll share what I find out.

Thank you, Kent.

My original idea was to associate an interest group with each designation and create a (giant) conditional statement. But, I don't think this will work if the donor is in multiple interest groups.

So you could do this with a nested conditional. It would display the very first one in the syntax. But you are limited to 22 (if I remember correctly) tests in a nested conditional.

You could do it something like this:


    [[?xTRUEx::x[[S45:10982]]x::
        [[S51:designated_gift_A]]
    ::
        [[?xTRUEx::x[[S45:10981]]x::
            [[S51:designated_gift_B]]
        ::
            [[?xTRUEx::x[[S45:11021]]x::
                [[designated_gift_C]]
            ::
                [[?xTRUEx::x[[S45:11001]]x::
                    [[S51:designated_gift_D]]
                ::
                    [[?xTRUEx::x[[S45:11022]]x::
                        [[S51:designated_gift_E]]
                    ::
                        [[?xTRUEx::x[[S45:11023]]x::
                            [[S51:designated_gift_F]]
                        ::
                            [[?xTRUEx::x[[S45:11024]]x::
                                Designated Gift Name ]] ]] ]] ]] ]] ]] ]]

You can have the code test if they are in a specific opt-in group (s45) and then have it render a specific page (s51) with designated gift info or you could just replace the S51 tag info with "Designated Gift Name Here."

Obviously there's some heavy front-end work to be done but once you got it put together it would take care of itself.

Kevin,

I don't have a way to test these but Ken said you might try testing these in a test transaction and see if they work:

S120:dc:designatedAddonFmv
S120:dc:designatedAddonPrice
S120:dc:designeeNames

Now if you want to render something on these outside of the transaction flow then you'll have to do the conditional group method.

Hi All,

Any new information on this? My client would like to be able to add at least the designation name to the acknowlegement emails and confirmation pages. I would really rather not have to build out a unique donation form for each designation and fudge a way to get the donor to the correct form while making it look like a single donation experience.

Regards,

JP

Brian Mucha · July 2015

Give [[S120:dc:designeeNames]] a try. Seems like that should be it.

Edit: I found my old test of S120 in PageBuilder. I think this is all of them. By the way, the STag params are case sensitive and the documentation has at least one mistake.

Hi Brian,

I did try the [[S120:dc:designeeNames]] and it is not working. I contacted support and apperantly it's a known issue logged under Bug 68017. No estimate on when the bug will be patched.

Brian Mucha · July 2015

Man, that sucks. I wonder how long that known issue list is. I have a few in there too!

Brian Mucha · July 2015

Okay, if Kent's conditional idea doesn't fit the bill here's another idea.

You can use S120 to show custom fields from the donation form.

https://community.blackbaud.com/forums/viewtopic/1/667?post_id=14756#p14756

Maybe you could put a hidden custom field on your form and populate it's value with JQuery when the designation selection is made by the user.

Figured i'd just reply to this to state that the designee conditional bug has been fixed and you can now set conditional messaging by designation!
