Achievements

View the video explaining this functionality here.

 

The Achievements Tracker allows campaigners to add sporting achievements to their Fundraising page. The distance covered is added up and displayed on the Fundraising page. A fundraiser can also link to a Strava account, after which new achievements are automatically added to the page!

In addition, the total distance covered by all Fundraisers is added up and displayed on the homepage.

Achievements

A fundraiser can add Achievements by logging into the dashboard and finding the 'Achievements' tab that looks like this:

Set target

In addition to setting a target amount, a fundraiser can set a goal for their achievement. In this case, it is a certain number of kilometres. If achievements are turned on, the target distance is also (optionally) asked in the sign-up flow. You can see the new question at the bottom:

 

Add Achievements (manually)

The Add Achievements screen looks like this:

  • First, you select a Sport. Here you can choose from Running, Hiking, Cycling, Swimming, Skating, Skeelering or Other (for all other sports). 
  • Next, you give the Achievements a title. This will appear at the top of your Fundraising page.
  • Fill in the description of the achievement. This is optional; you can continue without filling it in.
  • Fill in the date and time.
  • Add your distance covered and click save.

You can see that the fundraiser has been added, and the mileage has been updated. At 'source', there is an iRaiser icon indicating that it was added via the platform.

 

On the front end of the  Fundraising page, it looks like this:


<p class=Here, 'Rondje Veluwezoom' is the Title, and the text below it is the Description. 

On the homepage, the number of kilometres travelled over the entire platform has been added under the donation counter:

Strava

You can also choose to link to Strava. Strava is an app that many athletes use to track their Achievements. To avoid having to enter sports Achievements in two places, we have linked to Strava.

Any activity added on Strava is forwarded to the participant's Fundraising page and filed away under the correct sport.

Before you can make use of this, a Strava app has to be created (once) for the platform:

 

Creating a Strava app 

To connect Strava to your platform, a general link to the Strava app must be created. This can be your personal account and is purely used to establish the technical link with the platform. Nothing else happens to your information or account. The easiest way is to create a new Strava account is with a general company email address. You only need this to establish the link. No other emails will be sent to the email address (you can uncheck email updates in the sign-up process).

 

Once that app is installed properly, fundraisers can link to their own Strava account via the platform.


Below is a step-by-step guide to doing this.


1. Create an account at www.strava.com (this is a personal account)
2. Go (once logged in) to https://www.strava.com/settings/api

Fill in the following:

  • Name of application
    Here, you fill in the desired name of the app, usually the name of the site or of your foundation

  • Category
    Select 'Charitable organisation'

  • Club
    This can be left blank

  • Website
    Fill in the URL of the website here (starting with https://)

  • Description of application
    Here, you can describe the application of the app

  • Authorisation of callback domain
    Fill in oauth.kentaa.nl here

    Click agree and create to continue

3. Next, upload your app icon

4. Then send the Client ID and Client secret to iRaiser support (you can create a new ticket for that). If we then add these to your platform, the connection is ready. Make sure you don't send a screenshot, but copy the ID and secret. Otherwise it's hard to take this over manually.

5. Increase number of athletes in app
For new apps, Strava puts a restriction on the number of athletes allowed to connect. They are by default set on 1, which practically means that only one fundraiser can connect to Strava. You need to make sure that this number is increased to 999. To increase this, they have a contact form that you can fill out. Click here for an example of how to fill out this form and here for a sample screenshot you can attach. After filling it out, Strava support will check the application. They do not provide feedback that it has been accepted, so in this case it is a matter of logging in and checking for yourself if the limit has been upped to 999.

 

6. Periodic reviews
Strava may periodically review apps. In such a case, they email to the email address used to create the app. It is then important to do that check, otherwise they may disable/add restrictions to the app at some point.

 

Linking your personal Strava account to a Fundraising page

Now that the Strava app is linked to the platform, a Strava icon will appear:

 

Click connect and give the app permission. Then, newly added achievements within Strava will automatically appear on the Fundraising page (this can take up to 10 minutes). Below is an example of an achievement added via the link (also note the Strava icon):

On the front end of the Fundraising page, it looks like this:

The Achievement above (25.23 km) was manually entered into Strava; therefore, no map is displayed. If a route map is available, then you will see a map of this with the Achievements. An example of this:

Photos taken during the recording of the Achievements in Strava will also be included. For example, see this hike:

Disconnect Strava

The owner of the Fundraiser page has the option to unlink Strava. This can be done from their Strava account and the Fundraiser dashboard within iRaiser. To do so, on the Achievements tab, click on the Strava disconnect cross (bottom right of the screenshot):

A site administrator cannot undo individual Strava links (unless it owns the Fundraiser page). However, a site administrator can choose to turn off Achievements at a level (e.g. for a Campaign). If that happens, all Achievements will be deleted, and links to Strava will be broken. To do this, see Turn off Achievements.

 

Use Achievements

You can specify per level whether you want to use Achievements. You can turn it on or off at the Website level and per Sub site or Campaign. You can also specify whether you want to see the number of kilometres travelled on the counter. You can set this at Sub site or Website level via Settings > Achievements.


Turn off Achievements

If no Achievements have been added under a Campaign, then you can turn Achievements on or off with no consequences. If Achievements have already been added, when you turn them off (by unchecking that Achievements may be used), you will get a notification indicating how many Strava links and achievements will be removed.

Turning off Achievements can be useful for resetting mileage back to zero, for example, in a challenge that lasts a month and has a certain start date. However, in such a case, it is important to inform the fundraisers. Their previous Achievements and target mileage will be removed, so they need to reconnect with Strava.

Visibility

If you turn off the 'Show the number of kilometres travelled on the page' button, no total kilometres will be shown with the donation counter. This can be useful if you don't want to show the final result of the challenge yet, or if the total number of kilometres is irrelevant at that location. You can only set this at Website and Sub site level. 

Excel file

If you create an export of all Fundraiser pages and use the performance tracker, the export will have four related columns. The columns are Target Distance, Distance Traveled (km), Distance Traveled (%) and Achievements Source. 

Distance travelled (%) shows the percentage to which the target distance was achieved. At Achievements Source you can see in what way(s) achievements have been added.

Target distance reached email

If you have achieved the target distance, an automatic email will be sent (provided it is on). This looks as follows:

You can customise the mail as you wish via Emails > Email overview > Fundraisers > Performance goal of the fundraiser has been reached.

 

Achievements in the spotlight

Fundraisers can only find Achievements when they log in to their personal dashboard. It is not shown during the creation of a Fundraising page, so it is important to bring it to their attention. Below are several ways you could do this:

News release
If several Fundraising pages have already been created and you want to reach out to the fundraisers, you can do this through a news release. You can create and publish a news release and you can choose to share the message with the existing fundraisers. That way, you can make them aware of the new functionality!

Menu page explaining Achievements
You can also create a Menu page explaining how Achievements work and how you use the functionality. You could also refer to this in the automatic emails or in a news item. Do you get questions from fundraisers about Achievements? Then include these in a frequently asked questions block!

Automatic email 
The best way to make new fundraisers aware of the Achievements is via an email that every fundraiser receives. In it, point them to the possibilities of adding Achievements. 

You can choose to include Achievements in the email sent to fundraisers after they create their page, but also, for example, the email sent three days after creating a fundraising page.

 

Would you like an example text for an automatic mail or Menu page? Then click here for a PDF file with texts and screenshots you could use! You can also create a news item based on this.

 

We can turn on Achievements directly for all our generic templates. If you would like to have this feature turned on, please create a new support ticket and we will enable the functionality. If you also send us the Client ID and Client Secret, we can link to Strava directly.

 

Question iconFrequently asked questions

Will old sports Achievements also be added from Strava after the link is established?

No, only new Achievements are loaded.

Will all activities from Strava be added to the Fundraising page?

All public activities  are automatically added to the Fundraising page. Activities in Strava that are private or public for friends are not added to the Fundraising page.

 
Why don't I see the option to link in the dashboard?

There could be two reasons for this:

1. The link with Strava has not yet been established. In that case, go through the steps above and send the Client ID and Secret to us.

2. You are viewing the Fundraising page as a site administrator. It's true that you won't see a button then; only the fundraisers themselves will see that button to link, as they are the owner of the fundraiser.

However, you do see a Strava icon if a Fundraising page has been linked to Strava.

 
Can Achievements also be put on the site without Strava?

Yes, that is possible. We can add it, the link with Strava is optional

To whom should I send the Strava Client ID and Secret to link to the platform?

You can open a ticket

Can Strava be linked via any device?

Yes, the link button appears on every device (provided you are the owner of the Fundraising page). It does not matter whether you manage the Fundraising page via computer, tablet or mobile.

 
If I move a Fundraising page or Team, do the Achievements go with it?

That depends on whether Achievements are turned on at the location you move the Fundraising page/team to. If they are, the Achievements will go with it.

If that is not the case, then you will see a notification when you move the Fundraising page/team, notifying you that the Achievements will be deleted and Strava will be unlinked.

 
I get a request from Strava to do a review, do I need to do anything with this?

Yes, this will require you to have the app rechecked. This is something they will require periodically. And is necessary to do, otherwise at some point they may restrict or discontinue the app.

I see a limit of 1 athlete in my Strava app, is that correct?

For new apps, Strava puts a restriction on the number of athletes allowed to connect. They are by default set on 1, which practically means that only one fundraiser can connect to Strava. You need to make sure that the limit is increased to 999. To increase this, they have a contact form that you can fill out. Click here for an example of how to fill out this form and here for a sample screenshot you can attach. After filling it out, Strava support will check the application. They do not provide feedback that it has been accepted, so in this case it is a matter of logging in and checking for yourself if the limit has been upped to 999.

I see in my Strava app a limit of 999 athletes. Is that right?

Yes, then it is correct. The moment you go towards that limit, Strava automatically alerts you, and then they look to expand it. You have to think of it as a soft cap in this case.

Maximum fundraising pages

You can limit the number of fundraisers that can be created via Settings > Maximum fundraising pages. You can set this per level (website level, sub site level, campaign level).

 
If you then want to create an fundraisers and move over the button, you will see how many spots are still available.

The moment there are no more spots, you cannot click the button and it will be greyed out:

Note: This setting does not go together with activities. This is because you can also set a limit on activities. In case you want to set activities and there is already a maximum number of fundraising pages set, you get the message "The limit on the maximum number of fundraising pages is cleared.". After that, you won't see the menu item max number of fundraising pages until the activities are turned off at that level. If you work with activities and you want to set a maximum number of fundraising pages across all your activities (otherwise you could set it per activity), it's best to keep track of this manually and block fundraisers triggering at some point.

Documents

Participants may need to be able to upload a medical certificate for a particular event to show that they can participate. Or perhaps have to specifically sign and send another document.
Upload documents
This can be conveniently done via Documents. Via Settings > Upload documents you can indicate whether documents should be uploaded after registration. You can indicate here in the Description what should be uploaded:
Mails about documents
Fundraisers are then asked to upload their documents. For new registrations, the mail to fundraisers "Request documents to upload after registering participant" is sent. By default, the two mails below are also still on:

You can turn it off if necessary or adjust the number of days via the copy icon.
Upload documents
In the mails there is a link to go to 'my registration'. This requires the fundraiser to log in and click on 'My registration'. 
A notification is displayed at the top that documents still need to beüpload:

Below, the fundraiser can upload his documents:

The text from the Description will appear above 'Upload file'.
After uploading the file, it will look like this:

 
Controlling documents
If mail to site administrator 'Document(s) uploaded' is on, the site administrator will receive a message after an fundraiser has uploaded documents. In that mail is a link to go directly to the correct page.
You can also go to the Overview of Fundraisers to see if that the fundraisers have already uploaded their documents:

You have these icons:

No document(s) uploaded

No document(s) uploaded, not checked

Document(s) approved

If you then manage the fundraising page and go to 'My Registration' you can check the documents. You can choose to reject them by clicking delete, or approve them by ticking the box at the bottom:

If the documents are deleted, the notification will reappear for the fundraiser and he should upload them again.
If you create an export of all Fundraisers you will see two columns applicable to the documents. These are the columns:

Number of documents
Documents approved

Fundraisers

You can register as an individual through the sign-up flow and then you will have a separate fundraising page. You can add news items here and edit your fundraising page.You may also register as a team member. For that, you also create an fundraiser, but then the fundraiser is linked to the team and the revenues count for the team.Watch the video on managing fundraisers here, or read more about specific sections below.00:00 - Welcome00:27 - Download overview fundraisers01:40 - Adjust a page02:33 - Adjust my subscription03:14 - Manually adding a fundraise page04:58 - Change the owner of a page06:30 - Move fundraiser07:29 - Other optionsArticle contentFeatures fundraisersManagement of fundraisersMoving fundraisersManually adding fundraisersEmails to fundraisers  Feature fundraisersAn fundraiser always has one ownerAn fundraiser is always linked to a user, which is the owner of the fundraiser.

Otherwise, click on Add account.You will then first create a new account, to which the fundraiser will be linkedYou then fill in the fundraiser details and the fundraiser is created.If an fundraiser is created via the dashboard, no e-mails are sent. You can still send a welcome e-mail yourself from the fundraiser overview by clicking on the three dots > Send welcome e-mail again. Also, no mail to set your password is sent to accounts created via the dashboard. You can send those manually via Accounts > Users > Send password. Or can be requested at the frontend via Forgot password. Emails to fundraisersThe following mails are linked to fundraisers:Welcome e-mail after creating fundraiserYou can set this based on the number of previous participations. You can also send this e-mail later by clicking on the three dots > Send welcome e-mail again from the fundraiser overview.Welcome e-mail after joining the teamThis is sent when you register as a team member. You can also set the mail based on the number of previous participations.Donation receivedThis is sent after a donation is made directly to the fundraiserTeam has received a donationThis is sent when donating directly to the team (i.e. not to a team member)Reminder after pledging donationThis is sent x days after pledging a donation. Committed donations are donations you can make on the mobile view by clicking 'pay later'. That functionality can be turned off.

And is only sent if no donations have yet been received.Target amount of the fundraiser has been reachedThis mail is sent based on a percentage of the target amount. You can copy the mail and then set your own percentage. If you have set multiple mails to be achieved with a single donation, only the mail that meets the highest condition will go off. For example, if you have set an email at 30% and at 60% of your target amount, and a donation comes in which you raise 100% of your target amount all at once, only the email at 60% will go off.Tip e-mail after registrationThis mail is also copyable and will be sent x days after creating the fundraiser.The set countdown date will soon be reachedThis mail goes off x days before the countdown date is reached.

If you have set multiple mails that are achieved with a single donation, only the mail that meets the highest condition will go off.Project is closed by project managerThis mail goes off when a project is closed. All underlying fundraisers are then informed of this (provided this mail is on). So pay attention to this before closing a project.News item addedIf you add a news item, you can choose to share it with all fundraisers directly below that level. They will then receive news of this.Performance goal of the fundraiser has been achievedThis mail is linked to the performance tracker. If this goal is achieved in its entirety, this mail goes off.

e-Ticketing

e-Ticketing is a premium functionality that we can turn on upon request. For fundraisers and participants, you can generate tickets and have them automatically mailed to you. The tickets have a QR code and you can eventually scan it via your mobile, webcam or manually.

Features

You can set tickets per level, separately
Once tickets are shared, fundraisers can also find them in their dashboard under "my registration".
If you add multiple participants under the same email address, you will get in multiple tickets (Currently in multiple emails, but we will change that to an email with multiple PDFs)
You can choose to generate the tickets already, but not share them yet (and do so at a later date)

 
Setting up e-tickets
You can set up e-tickets by level. You can choose to do this at website level (for registrations that go directly below website level), for a specific sub site (for registrations that go directly at that level) or for registrations under a campaign. You do this by going to Settings > E-tickets. Here you have two options:

 
E-tickets use directly below this page.
If you use these then e-tickets will be generated. You will then only see the e-tickets via E-tickets > Overview. Nothing else happens and fundraisers don't see the tickets yet either. You cannot download pdf files yet, but you can already see the ticket numbers.
Share e-tickets with buyer
Only the moment you click "Share e-tickets with buyer." then fundraisers can see their tickets in the dashboard (example ticket). Existing fundraisers or participants at that level will immediately be sent the mail under Fundraisers > Send e-tickets. New participants, when creating an fundraiser, get their ticket sent directly. That mail looks like this by default, but you can customise it.
This screenshot was taken in the fourth template. To ensure that the logo is always visible, this template chose to always include a white frame for the logo. Otherwise, you might get the situation where the logo is all green and then disappears into the green background.

 
Scanning of tickets
You can scan e-tickets manually or via a camera. On the main level, if you go to E-tickets > Overview (manual) or to E-tickets > Scan. Then you will see all tickets from the entire site (including all underlying sub sites and campaigns), and you can scan them all as well. You can also go specifically to, say, a campaign and there you can only scan tickets that fall under that campaign.
Who can scan?
Site administratorsCan set up e-tickets, go to the overview and scan (and create exports). If, as a site administrator, you start scanning at the highest level, you also scan immediately for all underlying campaigns. You can think of it as a kind of 'super scanner'
Sub site managersCan go to the overview and scan (and create exports)
Campaign managersCan go to the overview and scan (and create exports)
Scanner (see next heading)Scanners can only scan tickets for the entities (website level, sub site, campaign) to which they have been added.
 
Scanner
As a regular scanner, you can also be added at the website level. However, then you can only scan that level, not, for example, underlying sub sites or campaigns (unless you are specifically added to those as well).
 
Add scanner
You can add a scanner per level. This is linked to a user. You can have a user who can only scan. This will then not appear in the dashboard at all, but directly in a scan menu. Handy if you have some volunteers to help with scanning at an event, for instance!
You can add a scanner by going to E-tickets > Scanners

You add someone by creating an account here. If someone is not yet known, a new user is created and receives two e-mails: one to set their password and one to indicate that they have been added as a scanner.
Mails
The mail a scanner receives looks like this:

You can customise it via E-mails > Overview Mails > Scanners > Welcome mail scanner:

You will see this mail only if e-tickets are used at that level!
You can also add someone who is already a user in the system as a scanner of a particular campaign (or sub site or website level). For example, an fundraiser who wants to help with scanning. You will then see this message:

After saving, this fundraiser can then also scan tickets for that level. If someone who starts an fundraiser is also a scanner and logs in to the dashboard, he will enter the dashboard of his fundraiser. He can then go to scanning by clicking on this icon:

 
There are two ways to actually scan: manually and via a camera
Manual scanning
If you go to the overview of tickets via E-tickets > Overview, you can manually set people as present there. You do this by clicking on the three dots behind the fundraiser/participant and marking them as present.

Each ticket comes with a Ticket Number. You can also search by that in the search field.
Should there be internet problems, you can also work with an offline variant by making a download of all tickets in advance. This will then state:Created on || E-ticket number || Name || Title || Scanned on || Scanned by
You can then manually search and tick off ticket numbers.
Scanning via camera
If you go to E-tickets > Scan, it will automatically try to connect to your webcam (computer) or your camera (mobile). After you give that permission, you can scan the QR code. If you scan a code that is invalid you will get a red notification.
The window for scanning looks like this: (with a scanner landing directly in here and thus not landing in a dashboard first)

Here, you can select a camera and then scan a ticket. This could be a camera from your mobile, for example, or a webcam if you work on your PC.
A scanner can also manually enter a code

 

You hold the QR code in front of the webcam
After a successful scan, you will immediately see the info (at the bottom you will see additional questions, activities, any webshop items and contact details)

 

For an invalid QR code (with a wrong link), you will see this:
If a ticket has already been scanned, it looks like this:

Badges to reward action starters

Action starters can get badges in the iRaiser platform to reward them and give them extra motivation. There are two types of badges:

Achievements badges. These are badges that one can earn by actively recruiting. These badges ("medals") are greyed out on the Fundraising page and are coloured in when the respective goal is achieved.
Retention badges. This badge is linked to the number of participations. This badge ("ribbon") appears on the participant's action picture and shows how many times someone has already participated in the event.

Badges for achieved goals (Achievements badges)
These badges are aimed at motivating action starters to get started with their Fundraising page and reach various goals.
For example, someone gets a badge for the first Donations and for posting a blog post. There are also badges for the amount of money raised (250, 500 and 1000 euros) and badges for the number of supporters (10, 25 and 50 donations).
When this functionality is on, the following badges automatically appear on each Fundraising page:

These badges are greyed out when not yet achieved and coloured in when achieved. The green colour you see above in the badge is the spot colour set on the site. This way, the badges are nicely integrated into your style.
Badges are automatically coloured when the condition is achieved. When the functionality is turned on, all badges of existing action starters are also awarded retroactively. 
There are no emails associated with the badges. Although you could copyëren the email "More raised than set amount". You can then indicate in the mail when they reach 250, 500 and 1000 euros that they have earned a badge. Hooray!

The badges have a fixed layout and also fixed conditions, and you can only choose to put all eight of them on them. You cannot make your own adjustments to this at the moment. We do want to make this adjustable in due course.
Interested? Then send a message to iRaiser and we can turn it on for you!
.
Badges for number of participations (retention badges)
You have the option of displaying a badge (image) on participants' fundraising page depending on the number of times they have participated.
These Badges are part of the retention functionality, which consists of:

The edition of your event -> This feature must be enabled to use the badges and retention functionality.
A conditional welcome email based on number of participations
Able to set target amounts for action starters based on number of participations

The aim is to make participants feel welcome and encourage them to participate more often. For a complete description, read the article on retention functionality.
You can upload an image per participation. We have created four designs for you, see the downloads below. But you can also choose to design your own badges. This image has specific requirements: it must be a png image with transparency, the image must be 745x419 Pixels in size. So a landscape image. The badge is being placed over the existing image, so make sure the badge is not too large and is in one of the corners.

You can only add retention badges if an edition is set. Please contact us for this.
Download below your set of badges for returning participants. 

Team page

You can register as an individual, but you can also start a team or join an existing team. As a team, you have your own team page, where you can see more information about the team and who the team members are. Here, as team captain, you can add news items and edit the team page. Watch the video on managing teams here, or read more about specific sections below.00:00 - Welcome00:27 - Overview and download team01:23 - Adjust a team02:46 - Creating teams manually03:49 - Creating team members04:22 - Appoint a team captain 05:33 - Move teams06:01 - Other options Article contentTeam captainContentSettingsDonationsTeam membersManagement teamTeam captain changeAdding team members to a teamDelete team membersAdd a team via the dashboardStarting a team as an fundraiser after registrationCap on number of team members Team captainThe team captain is the one who created the team and thus the one who is in charge of the team. The team captain can do the following:ContentChange team name, profile picture, title and team description (Content > Motivation)Add image or video to team page (Content > Pictures and videos)Add sponsor logos (Content > Sponsor logos)Add news items (Content > Blog)SettingsAllow team members (Settings > Allow team members)Here the team captain can choose to allow unlimited members, allow a certain number of team members (note: if an activity must be chosen then this option is not there), or no longer allow team membersClose team (Settings > Close page)Set target amount team (Settings > Target amount)DonationsThe team captain can view all donations made on team members by clicking on the 'i' behind the donation.Team membersA team captain can remove activists from his or her team. This can be done on the team members overview page, by clicking on the three dots behind one of the team members and choosing 'Remove from team'. A team captain can also see more information about team members' fundraisers by clicking on the 'i' under the three dots. Management teamAs a site administrator, you can immediately see per fundraiser whether it is a member of a team or not. You can see this through the following icons:FundraiserTeam memberTeam starterChange team captainYou can change the owner of a team. You do this by going to teams and looking up the team. Then click on the three dots behind the team and choose 'assign user'. Then select the new owner of the team (if necessary, you can create a new user first).Adding team members to a teamIf someone has signed up and then finds out that he or she would have preferred to be in a team, that person cannot change that themselves, only a site administrator can do that.Adding an existing participant/fundraiser holder to a team is basically no more than moving this fundraiser to the team. First, you look up the fundraiser by going to 'Fundraisers'. Then click on the three dots and select move. You look up the team and click move. Then the fundraising page will appear under the team and that person has joined the team. Deleting team membersA team member is nothing more than an fundraising page linked to the team. If you delete a team member, the page is no longer linked to the team, but the deleted person's fundraising page remains in contact. You can delete a team member as follows: Find the team and press Manage. Then click on Team members. Then click on the three dots behind the team member you want to delete and selectDelete from team.Adding a team via the dashboardYou can also create a team via the backend. To do this, first go to where you want to create the team. For example, at site level (if your registrations are at website level), under a sub site or under a project. In case you want to add the team under a project, first find the project and manage it. Then go to teams and click on add team. A team always has a team captain, so you can link it to an existing account, or add a new account. After linking the team to an account, all you have to do is fill in the team name, team title and team description. Starting a team as an fundraiser after registrationAfter registering an fundraiser, you can also optionally start a team as an fundraiser. This can be done via the start team button:You can then create a team via the dashboard:After completing all the information (including, for example, additional questions to the team captain), the team is created. The fundraiser this team is created with then becomes team captain. No e-mails are sent after team creation.You will see the button to create the team only if:You don't have a team yetIt is possible to start a team (So via Settings > Sign-up flow > Sign-up options)It is possible to start an fundraiser. So the fundraiser start must not be blocked and there must still be free spacesOnly site administrators and the fundraiser himself can do this. The button is not visible to subsite and campaign administrators. Cap on number of team members If you have an event with a maximum number of team members, you can set this via Settings > Default team settings. All teams that are then created are allowed to have a maximum of that set number of members.You can set a maximum via Settings > Default team settings via Team members limit:If you choose "Yes, I want to specify a limit for teams under this page." there, you can set the maximum number of team members. The fundraiser who is a team captain himself also counts as an fundraiser.After activation, any limits set by the team captain are overwritten. However, if you reset them at a later time, then that previously set limit will also be reset.Existing teams that already have more members than your set maximum will remain intact. Suppose you have a team of six people, and you set a maximum across the whole project of four people per team, that team will still keep those six people. Therefore, make sure you have already set it up properly beforehand. A site administrator, sub site administrator and campaign administrator can do this.The 'allow team members' option disappears the moment you set a maximum number of team members over a certain level. So a team captain can no longer set the maximum himselfYou can set the cap at site level, sub site level and campaign level and there is no erving in it (so it is only for that level). 

Sign up flow

To start an fundraiser, you need to go through the sign up flow.

Here you can see a number of settings.View sign up flowYou can always use this button to enter the sign up flow to see what it looks like. The preview mode is only meant to view the sign up flow, you cannot create fundraisers in this mode.Sign up flow optionsHere you can choose which way people can register. You have the following options:Individual + team + team memberIndividual onlyTeam + team memberIndividual + team + team member + companyIndividual + companyYou will only see the options based on the functionalities that are on. If you are not using the company functionality, then you will only see options 1, 2 and 3. If there are no teams either then you can only select individual here and the entire step in the sign up flow will be skipped.Adjust order of steps in sign up flowYou can change the order of the first four steps. You do this by dragging them with the mouse until they are in the desired order. The other steps all have a fixed order.Change text left sideYou can change the texts listed on the left-hand side of the sign up flow. For example, if you click change behind 'Who are you'. You can then edit the text in the next screen:If you click 'Change default value' then you can edit the text and add a description if you want. You can always go back to how it was originally by clicking 'Restore default value' again afterwards. And you change the text on the left (in the green sidebar):You can do this for all steps.Other mattersThere are a number of other things you can set on the Settings > Sign up flow page (see also screenshot below):You can change the text on the fundraiser start button (this can vary per campaign/sub site). The new text (e.g. come into fundraiser, swim along, etc.) can be a maximum of 15 characters and that includes spaces.You can customise the texts on the selection screens. These are selection screens that you see when you click 'start fundraiser' and then have to make a choice:General selection screen "What do you want to take fundraiser for?". Here you choose what you want to start the fundraiser for, whether it is, for example, a general fundraiser or an fundraiser for a campaignSub site selection screen "For which sub site do you want to take fundraiser?". Here you choose for which sub site you want to start an fundraiserSelection screen campaigns" For which campaign would you like to take fundraiser? Here you choose for which campaign you want to start an fundraiserSign up flow stepsThe sign up flow that fundraisers see is shown based on settings. Think, for example, that you will see an extra step with registration fee, if you use that. Below, under 'Basic' you will see the steps that are normally always there and under 'Additional' the extra steps/options. Each step is described briefly below. More information on specific functionality can be found in the support articles linked to this page. You may find below a functionality that is not included in your package.BasicThe following steps belong to the basics of the sign up flowSign up options: How do you commit?Here you can see the sign up flow options and choose how you want to sign up. You can set this via Settings > Sign up flow > Registration options. You will not see this step if there is only one option, such as individual.Profile details: Who are you?This is where you create an account for the platform. If you already have an account then you can log in and your already known data will be filled in automatically. The mandatory fields here are First name, Last name and e-mail address and agreeing to the general terms and conditions. We can optionally or compulsorily request the following additional fields here:Address (Street, House number, Suffix)PostcodeLocationCountryGenderPhone number (an additional opt-in will automatically be added here in accordance with telecoms legislation)Team pageIf you choose to create a team, you will be taken to the 'Your team page' page. Here you enter at least:The team name, the amount you want to raise, the title and the motivation. You can fill in the title and motivation beforehand via the standard settings. The amount raised can be set via Settings > Set target amount. If you chose individual or team member in the previous step, skip the team page step.Personal sponsorship page: individualYou then proceed to the page to create your individual fundraiser. Someone who creates a team in the sign up flow also creates a personal fundraiser. You can fill in the title and motivation beforehand via the standard settings. You can set the amount raised via Settings > Set target amounts. It is also possible to continue without creating an individual fundraiser if the sponsor page is optionally enabled.Starter donationBy default, this step is on, asking the fundraiser to make an initial donation in advance. This donation is optional, but we see that it is often done. You can adjust the amounts and possibly add a description via Settings > Set donation amounts. We can also turn off the initial donation if you wish.Overview pageHere you will see an overview of what you will order, or what you have selected. If necessary, you can choose to register another person. This way, you can create an fundraiser for several people at once and check them out.Thank you pageWhen payment has been made, you come back to the thank-you page. Here you can customise both the text on the left (which is standard) and the text and image on the right. You can use this to display an image that suits your site.SupplementaryEntry feeYou can add entry fees, if you ask for this for an event, for example. An fundraiser is required to choose an entry fee, but this could possibly be an entry fee of 0 euro.ActivitiesThe activities module allows you to add a (mandatory) choice question in the sign up flow. For example, a list of distances from which the fundraiser must choose, or the question of what kind of fundraiser it concerns.Editions: retention at eventsIf you use retention (editions) and an edition is set at the level you sign up at, you will be asked if you have participated before. Based on the answer, you can add badges, add a different target amount or send other emails based on the number of participations.Date of fundraiserThere is a site setting where it is mandatory for an fundraiser to specify an end date of the fundraiser. An fundraiser then gets the mandatory question "Until when does your fundraiser run". If a general countdown date is set at the level they are notified at then the question is not asked. All underlying fundraisers will then automatically get that date as the end date.Performance: Mileage targetIf achievements are possible at the level at which you create your fundraiser, you will be asked how many kilometres the fundraiser wants to cover. This is an optional question, and if filled in then this becomes the target distance for this fundraiser.You can also choose to leave that question away, by going to Settings > Achievements and unchecking the checkbox "Ask the participant's achievements goal in the registration flow":Additional questionsWe can add extra questions and this can be set per campaign, sub site, at the website level or across the whole site. We can ask the extra questions to fundraisers, but also specifically to team captains. With the extra questions, you can request additional information needed for your event. For example as in the example below that event participants are 18 years or older or have permission from their parent(s)/guardian(s). The answers to these extra questions are reflected in the export (of fundraisers and teams).WebshopIn the webshop, you can offer any additional items that can be bought. You set these up via Administration > Webshop. The webshop is only accessible in the sign up flow. You cannot therefore sell items via the platform outside the sign up flow.Discount codesYou can add discount codes and they only apply to the registration fee. That way, you can give early registrants a discount, for example, or let certain people register for free. If that functionality is on, you will see a place to enter a code at the overview screen.After clicking, you can enter the codeAnd if the code is correct, the discount code will be applied to the registration fee.

In the Academy of 20-01-2022, the changes were discussed:

1. General terms and conditions and privacy
.
According to the Consumer & Market Authority, general terms and conditions are valid if the consumer knows they apply at the time he or she purchases the service from you. So you must make the general terms and conditions available and clickable in the sign-up and donation flow. - Source
When creating an action én when making a donation, Users no longer have to agree to the terms and conditions. You automatically agree to these when making the Donations or when continuing in the flow:

As you now also automatically agree to the privacy statement, we have added this to the api as well. This will be automatically saved as consent for newly created Fundraisers after 20 October. For old action starters/donors, this data is not saved retroactively.
2. Opt-ins have become soft opt-ins
Normally, a consumer must give an active opt-in at the time he or she wants to receive a newsletter or to be contacted by phone. The exception to this rule is the concept of 'customer relationship'. Since 1 July 2021, the concept of 'customer relationship' has been broadened for charities. Besides a financialële transaction, a volunteer and event participant is also counted under a customer relationship. In other words, someone who takes action on your behalf may be seen as a customer relationship. For a donor, this was already the case as they completed a financialële transaction. - Source
We replaced several opt-ins with soft opt-ins for the above reason. Whereas previously you had to tick yourself that you want to be kept informed of News updates, for example, this tick is now already on by default. This also applies to the two different tick boxes aimed at telephone solicitation. Here it is good to know that you, the customer, can change these consent texts yourself in the dashboard. We have turned on the checkmark by default in these places:
To keep informed
This is what you will see after making a Donations:

b. When entering your phone number in the Sign up flow or Donate
We can turn on the second tick about marketing purposes at your request.

c. Newsletter (when donating)

3. Indicating whether data may be shared
Contact information was shared (at the time it was entered by the donor) with the action starter. As this is not always desirable, we chose to add an additional soft opt-in when making a donation to an action, team, company on Campaign:

You, as a donor, can choose not to share details with the initiator of the action. This can be:

The action initiator
The team captain
The company manager
The project manager

If you uncheck this box (which is on by default) then that data is not shared with the action starter. Who will see it returned as Anonymous:

In the Excel file, an additional column has been added, at the very end, with 'Share contact information':

 
You as site administrators can still view this data.
4. Update 20 June 2023: Adjustment in show first name donor
Since 20 June 2023, a change has gone live that relates to the following scenario:
- You make a Donation and, when Donating, choose not to share your details with the initiator.
Previously, the name on the front end was then always shown as anonymous. With the logic that it's strange not to share your details with the initiator of the action, but that they could then still see at the front end who had donated.
We noticed, however, that it raised a lot of questions and confusion among donors. Especially because they were under the impression that showing the name was only linked to the checkbox  "Display my name on the website. "
We have now made that showing of name dependent only on the option "Shield my name on the website." If that tick is not turned on, you will see the donor's name on the website.
To clarify, we have now changed the text on sharing with the initiator to: "Sharing my contact information with the initiator of this action, so they may send me a thank you, for example."
We hope this makes it a lot clearer for the donor. This is a change that took effect from 20 June. Older Donations have not been made visible retroactively. In case you had an old donation where it was indicated that the data should not be shared with the initiator, the check mark at name blocking has now been switched on for each old donation. If you have a donor who wanted this to be shown, you can now change this in the system by looking up the donation and setting the checkmark to 'do not hide'.
Digicollect
In the academy of 6-10, the changes were discussed:

1. General terms and conditions and privacy
According to the Consumer & Market Authority, general terms and conditions are valid if the consumer knows they apply at the time he or she purchases the service from you. So you should make the general terms and conditions available and clickable in the sign-up and donation flow. - Source
When creating a collection box én when making a donation, Users no longer have to agree to the terms and conditions. You automatically agree to these when making the donation or when continuing in the flow:

2. Opt-ins have become soft opt-ins outs
Normally, a consumer must give an active opt-in at the time he or she wants to receive a newsletter or to be contacted by phone. The exception to this rule is the concept of 'customer relationship'. Since 1 July 2021, the concept of 'customer relationship' has been broadened for charities. Besides a financialële transaction, a volunteer and event participant is also counted under a customer relationship. In other words, someone who takes action on your behalf may be seen as a customer relationship. For a donor, this was already the case as they completed a financialële transaction. - Source

Whereas previously you had to tick yourself that you want to be kept informed of News updates, for example, this tick is now already on by default. This also applies to the two different tick boxes aimed at telephone solicitation. Here it is good to know that you, the customer, can adjust these consent texts yourself in the dashboard.
We have turned on the tick by default in these places:
When entering the mobile number
When creating a collection box, if you enter a phone number both checkboxes for approach for tips or marketing purposes are on by default. We can enable the functionality to show the second tick for you:

Newsletter
When donating, if you leave your email address then opt-in for the newsletter is also already automatically on:

 
3. Indicate whether data may be shared
Contact information was shared (at the time it was filled in by the donor) with the collector. As this is not always desirable, we chose to add an additional soft opt-in when making a Donations: 'My contact information may be shared with the collector.' :

If you uncheck this box (which is on by default) then that data is not shared with the collector. It will see them as Anonymous in the automatic Emails:

In the Donations overview that a collector can see, the donation can also be seen as anonymous:

 
You as site administrators can still view this data.

Fundraising page optional

It may happen that people want to register, for example for an event, but do not want to create a separate Fundraising page for this purpose. In such a case, you can set the sponsor page to be optional. You set this up by going to the level where you want to set this up and then going to Settings > Fundraising page optional and choosing to make Fundraising page optional there. 

In the Sign up flow, the step where you create the Fundraising page will have a slider:

If you create the action page, the slider will appear at the step where you create the action page.
If you then click this slider you can continue without creating a Fundraising page:

After completing the registration, the participant will receive the 'Welcome email after signing up participant'. If he/she has joined a team then he/she will receive the 'Welcome email after joining team'. If E-tickets are used then the participant will also receive the e-tickets.
 
A participant will appear as 'registration' in the action overview after completing the registration:

A participant can still create a sponsorship page if desired, by going to 'My Registration' and clicking on 'Create a sponsorship page'.

On the platform, you can see the participants by going to the Overview of Participants. That defaults to /participants.

Webshop

Would you like to offer a T-shirt, medal or other goodie to everyone who starts an action on your website? You can do so with the webshop function within the platform. This feature makes it possible to offer products and even services to anyone who creates an action on the website.
 

The webshop is not on by default on the website, it can be turned on by a support person on the website. To do this, contact iRaiser. After this, the products must be added to the catalogue. Once the products are put in the catalogue, the action starter can see this right away and order directly in the action start flow!
But what if these products only apply to a specific Sub site or Campaigns? No problem! In fact, it is possible to set up a catalogue at segment or project level. This catalogue will then only be visible to the campaigners at this level. Conversely, it is also possible to set up a catalogue on the main level, after which you disable it on a lower Sub site or Campaigns.
