Link to a specific fund
By default, your donation page redirects free donations to the main cash register. But if you want to guide a donor to a specific fund (for example "Renovation of the Beth Hamidrash", "Aid to families"), you can share a direct link that automatically pre-selects the right destination.
What a direct link to a fund is forβ
Imagine that David Cohen launches a WhatsApp appeal for the renovation of the synagogue roof. If he shares your generic donation page, the donor lands on a page that mentions nothing about the roof, and their donation lands in the general cash register instead of the Renovation fund.
With a direct link to the fund, the donor:
- immediately sees the title and description of the fund,
- possibly sees the progress bar towards the goal,
- sees that their donation will be allocated to this specific fund,
- retains the possibility to return to the general donation page if they prefer.
On the Unisoft side, the payment is automatically attached to the fund, which updates its tracking in real time.
URL formβ
The direct link takes the following form:
https://[your-domain].unisoft.world/don/[fund-identifier]
The identifier in the URL is an internal code automatically generated by Unisoft (a UUID v4 β long alphanumeric string separated by hyphens). Concretely, your URL looks like this:
https://my-community.unisoft.world/don/f47ac10b-58cc-4372-a567-0e02b2c3d479
Procedure to generate the linkβ
- 1
Open the Funds module
In the sidebar, click Funds (
/app/cagnottes/list). - 2
Choose the relevant fund
Click the fund to which you want to guide donors. If it does not exist yet, create it first by relying on the Funds documentation.
- 3
Retrieve the share link
On the fund profile, you find a Share button or tab. Click it: the direct link is displayed and a Copy button lets you place it in the clipboard with one click.
- 4
Check the QR code
The same screen generally offers a QR code ready to print or integrate into a poster or flyer. Download it if needed.
- 5
Test the link
Open the link in a new tab (ideally in private browsing to check the rendering on the visitor side). Make sure the fund's title and description display correctly.
Use casesβ
Distribution by email or SMSβ
Insert the direct link in a message campaign for your donors. The effect is immediate: those who click land on the fund concerned, with no intermediate step.
WhatsApp or Telegram messageβ
Share the link in a community group accompanied by a short message that contextualizes it (Here is the fund for the roof renovation β every euro counts).
QR code on paper posterβ
Print the QR code on flyers distributed at the exit of services or stuck in the hall. Members scan and donate in two clicks from their phone.
Button on a newsletterβ
Insert the link on a Participate button in your monthly newsletter. It's more effective than a text link drowned in the content.
Event page or website articleβ
If you discuss a project in a page of your website (renovation, charitable action), insert the direct link to the associated fund. The reader goes from the story to the action in one click.
Advantages over the generic linkβ
| Criterion | Generic link /don | Direct link to fund /don/[id] |
|---|---|---|
| Displayed context | General donation page | Title + description of the fund |
| Accounting allocation | Main cash register | Cash account of the fund |
| Goal tracking | No | Yes, progress bar updated |
| Effort for the donor | Must choose the allocation | Nothing to choose |
| Ideal for | Usual donation without cause | Appeal on a specific project |
Best practicesβ
Don't multiply links simultaneouslyβ
If you have 10 open funds at the same time, don't bombard your community with 10 different links. Choose 1 or 2 priority funds per communication, and leave your general donation page as the default entry point for everything else.
Shorten the link to make it memorableβ
The URL generated by Unisoft contains a long UUID, difficult to dictate orally or write from memory. If you want a shorter link or easier to communicate (for example to announce on the microphone during a service, or to print on a poster without QR code), use:
- an external URL shortener (Bitly, TinyURL, etc.) which will transform the full link into an address like
bit.ly/donate-roof-26, - or a QR code (offered directly by Unisoft on the fund profile) that your visitors scan from their phone, without having to read the URL.
Check the fund before sharingβ
Before massively distributing a link, check that:
- the title and description are up to date,
- the illustrative image is appealing,
- the goal (if defined) is consistent,
- the fund is properly published and active.
