Salsa Highlight: Tracking Your Donations

Greetings!

It's the "Salsa Highlight," your quick hit on what's what in Salsa to help get the most out of your online program. As always, you can find plenty more news, updates, and conversation throughout the week on SalsaCommons.org.

Online donations are an essential part of most Salsa users' programs, and we thought we'd revisit some of the options for tracking those donations in the toolset.

You have two basic choices: Tracking Codes and Tags. You can use either one or both together to classify your donations; the difference is:

  • a single donation can have only a single tracking code; but
  • a single donation can have many different tags.

A couple conferences are coming up - SXSW and NTEN - and Salsa Staff will be there.

If you use Designation codes for your donation pages and don't want to have to manually type all of your options in, Chris V posted some instructions on adding a drop-down for Designation to your donation pages.

Will's working on search engine optimization and could use your help.

Scott thought he'd clarify how cookies work for us.
