Another advanced tracking method is Source Code. This field will get added to every lead that comes in on your page. You can either enter a static, default field here or you can enter it dynamically via a URL parameter: ?sc=[VALUE].

By default a petition page shares the supporters data only with you. However with WinRed you have the ability to create petition pages with multiple committees.

When you add other committees, any form submission will be shared as a Lead with all of the committees on the page.

Important: Please make sure to check with your legal team before using this feature.

To add another committee, click the green "Add Committee" box.

Then search for the group you want to add.

Finally hit save and your page is ready to share leads!

Here you can decide which fields you want to include in your petition. The top three fields (First Name, Last Name, and Email) are set to Yes by default. You can toggle any of these fields on or off depending on your need.

Selecting confirmation means that the donor will end on our platform and be showing a message and some options that you can customize

This option allows you to send supporters to a different URL. For example, you can send them to a donation page to encourage them to give right after they fill out your form.
