When repeating a campaign on Pledge It, you can connect your previous campaign to your current campaign to enable year-over-year features and analytics. One of the features enabled when you connect a previous campaign is the ability to recreate the team fundraising pages from your previous campaign.
When your returning fundraisers rejoin your campaign, they will see the option to rejoin or recreate their previous team page during registration if they are signing up with the same email address they used the previous year.
When a previous team is recreated, it will:
Add the team to your current campaign
Automatically pull over customizations that were set in the previous year, such as the team's cover photo and profile photo
The team profile in your campaign Dashboard will display year-over-year data showing the team's fundraising history
Allow the team captain to reinvite past team members affiliated with the previous team
Note: In most cases, participants will rejoin a campaign and recreate their previous team, recreating it automatically with no action needed on your end. However, if you want to manually recreate a previous teams before participants join, follow the steps below.
Steps
Visit your campaign's Dashboard.
Go to the Recruit tab and scroll down to the table showing your Individuals and Teams.
Click the Previous tab to view the fundraisers and teams affiliated with the connected campaign.
Change the table view to Teams to view previous teams.
Find the team page you'd like to recreate, then click on the three dot menu on the right and select Manually Recreate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does recreating the team create an exact copy of the previous team page?
Recreating the team will copy over the team profile photo, team cover photo, and team name that was used the previous year. It will not copy over the team story (the description on the team page). In many cases, the team story will include details relevant to a particular year or date. To avoid inaccurate information on recreated team pages, all recreated team pages start with the default team story you have customized on your campaign.
Does recreating the team automatically add the previous team members to the team?
No, your fundraisers will still need to rejoin your campaign. Profiles are not generated for them when the team is recreated, however, when they go through registration to rejoin your campaign, they will see a prompt offering them to rejoin their previous team as long as they're using the same email they registered with the year before. Recreated teams do keep track of the history of team members, so when a returning team captain goes to invite team members, they will see a list of previous teammates.
