Preselected donation form amount via email?

Libby London · July 2017

Hello,

I am building an email that asks people to donate certain amounts: $50, $100, $500. When they click on the different amounts, I'd like it to bring them to a donation form where that amount is already preselected. Does anyone know how to do this? I'm building the email in Luminate Online, and my donation form(s) are in Luminate Online.

Thanks for the help!

Hi Libby,
This is a great question. You can do this by linking to a specific donation level. Here are some instructions to get you started, Insert Links (https://www.blackbaud.com/files/support/helpfiles/luminate-online/help/luminateonline.html#../Subsystems/Content_Edito_Luminate_Online/Content/Content_Editor/Adding_Links_to_Content.html)

Let me know if you can't get to the link. See if this helps!

By the way, Libby, it can be hard to find the right donation level sometimes from the tools. If you have to, select any of the levels. That will insert the code for the link, so then you can go to the source, and update the donation level id. The code will look something like <a href="http://www.nrcprograms.org/site/Donation2?idb=[[S76:idb]]&df_id=5582&DONATION_LEVEL_ID_SELECTED=7792&5582.donation=form1">. Just change the number for "donation_level_id_selected=". In this case, it would be 7792. I uploaded a screenshot of how to find the donation level id within the donation form.

Thanks, Alicia! This solution will work, but I'm wondering about if I want my donation form to be preselected based off of what is selected in the email. I know that I could make three donation forms what are each respectively preselected at $50, $100, $500, but is there a way to do this only using one donation form?

Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand, but you can refer to each level in the same form by referring to the specific level id:

<ul style="margin-bottom:1em;"><li>THREE children, like Lily and two of her siblings, could be helped with backpacks full of school supplies to last them the entire school year with your generous <a href="https://secure2.convio.net/nrcst/site/Donation2?df_id=6703&6703.donation=form1&DONATION_LEVEL_ID_SELECTED=9953&autologin=true">contribution of $78</a>.</li>

<li>TWO children, like Lily and one of her siblings, could be helped with backpacks full of school supplies to last them the entire school year with your charitable <a href="https://secure2.convio.net/nrcst/site/Donation2?df_id=6703&6703.donation=form1&DONATION_LEVEL_ID_SELECTED=9954&autologin=true">gift of $52</a>.</li>

<li>ONE child, like Lily, could be helped with a backpack full of school supplies to last them the entire school year when you help us with a selfless <a href="https://secure2.convio.net/nrcst/site/Donation2?df_id=6703&6703.donation=form1&DONATION_LEVEL_ID_SELECTED=9955&autologin=true"> gift of $26</a>.</li>

</ul>

So each ask would have a separate link. Is this similar to what you were needing?
