Stag to get number of gifts and donation amount from a single donation form?

Brian Mucha

Is there a way to display the current number of gifts and also the total earned on individual donation forms? (Not a whole campaign.)

I'd like to make a super simple dashboard for our Radiothon hosts. (They will not be able to pull and analyze reports repeatedly while on the air.)

Regards, Brian

Unfortunately, no -- the only such S-Tags pull data at the campaign level (i.e. S15 and S334).

I know that another client that does radiothons uses (or used, not sure if it's still in use today) a desktop app built using Adobe AIR that utilizes Convio Web Services to retrieve realtime donation data for hosts. Since the WSDL does provide the FormId for each Donation, you could do something similar. The key thing to note is that CWS doesn't return a sum of the amount raised or number of gifts, it returns row-by-row transaction data which you would then need to sum in your custom app.

I'd be happy to email you the AIR app if you're interested.

I would be interested in seeing that. Thanks, Noah.

@Brian Mucha I know this post is ELEVEN YEARS OLD, but did you ever find a creative way to put a thermometer on a donation form to only show the progress and goal specific to that form? I've got an existing form someone is requesting I do this for, so it is too late to put it in a new campaign and use the campaign thermometers. I'm not seeing any way to get a single form progress calculation. Did you ever end up with a workaround?

Brian Mucha

No, sorry. Gotta be in its own campaign. We're about to do the same thing for a Spring Campaign.

You can actually manually add to the campaign thermometer in Campaign Management, so that could adjust for your to-date fundraising on your existing form.
