Below are steps on how to make a direct link to an offering.
You may wish to promote a particular offering listed on eGiving. To make it easier for donors to find the offering, you can make a link that goes straight to it on the eGiving website.
For example: An offering can be selected using the filter options (with or without specifying the entity to receive the offering).
https://egiving.org.au/Fox%20Valley%20SDA%20Church?filter=Blind%20and%20Hearing%20Impaired
https://egiving.org.au/?filter=Blind%20and%20Hearing%20Impaired
Note: %20 is equivalent to the space character.
This can be done in two ways:
Have a church already selected in the offering link (useful for local churches promoting an offering to their congregation)
Link to the required offering, and the donor selects their church (useful for Conferences, Unions or Division promoting an offering)
Method 1 - Church already selected in the offering link
Log into ACAS and find the account with the eGiving details, or just user the exact name that is listed on eGiving.
Note the name of the offering in the eGiving Offering Name field as this will be used in the filter.
Go to the eGiving website and select your church.
In the address bar, type ?filter=Adopt a Clinic at the end of the address already there and press Enter. This should display the page with just the Volunteer Support Donations offering showing on it.
Copy the link in the Address bar and paste it in communications as required.
This process can be used on any offering, just by typing ?filter=[Insert part of the Link Text field information from ACAS here] once you have selected your church on the eGiving website.
For example https://egiving.org.au/newhope?filter=tv
Or https://egiving.org.au/newhope?filter=tv%20ministry
Or if you want a custom list of offerings then we can create a non church entity similar to https://egiving.org.au/adraau or https://egiving.org.au/avondalecollege
Method 2 - Link to the required offering, and the donor selects their church
Log into ACAS and find the account with the eGiving details, or just user the exact name that is listed on eGiving.
Note the name of the offering in the eGiving Offering Name field as this will be used in the filter. In our example, we will use the Blind and Hearing Impaired (Tax deductible) offering.
Go to the eGiving website and at the end of the URL, type ?filter=Blind and Hearing Impaired (Tax deductible)
This won't appear to do anything on the screen. To test it has worked, select a church from the list and click Select. Only offerings with the words "Adventist Mission" in them should be displayed.
4. When you are satisfied that the link shows the expected offering, copy the filtered link [e.g. https://egiving.org.au/?filter=Blind%20and%20Hearing%20Impaired%20(Tax%20deductible) ] and paste it where required.
