Setup Custom Hidden Fields in Anedot

NationBuilder specific fields will need to be added a Custom Hidden Fields within the Anedot Action Page Builder in order to be relayed properly.

Below is a list of all Custom Hidden Fields that are supported at this time:

note
election_cycle
election_period
election_period_ngp_code
is_private
membership_name
tracking_code_slug
actblue_order_number
recruiter_name_or_email

Create Custom Hidden Fields in Anedot

To create a Custom Hidden Field within the Anedot Action Page Builder, follow the steps below:

Access the Action Pages>Pages tab within your fundraising account.
Hover over an Action Page, then click Actions>Edit. This will redirect you to the Builder.
Next, access the Form tab within the Builder.
Under Custom Fields, select the field type: Hidden.
You will then be able to enter the field Key (Example: note).
1. Optionally, enter a Global Value. When a Global Value is added to a Custom Hidden Field, the value will be passed for each submission whenever the hidden field is in use (non-page-specific).
2. Optionally, enter a Page Specific Value under the Settings>Sharing>Page Specific Values tab in the Builder. When a Page Specific Value is applied, the hidden field value will only be relayed for submissions processed through the specific Action Page.
Click Save.
Next, be sure to click Publish before exiting the Builder.

You may also use URL Parameters to capture data for each of these fields with each submission. Click here to learn more about URL Parameters!

Click Create Field to complete the setup.

If you do not have access to create Custom Fields within NationBuilder, please contact NationBuilder Support directly.

Data Relays

For Financial Pages (Donation Pages), Anedot relays all donation details and custom field information. We also send a "Person" event that creates a new contact in NationBuilder for new donors, or updates an existing contact in for existing donors.

For Non-Financial Pages (Lead Pages), Anedot only relays a "Person" event.

Within NationBuilder, donor information will appear on the NationBuilder Dashboard and in the People tab. Donors with recurring commitments will have a "recurring" tag that is automatically added by NationBuilder on the creation of a new recurring commitment.

Locate Data in NationBuilder

The Dashboard shows a summary of recent donations

The People tab shows a list of donors.

The Membership area (within the People tab) shows a list of memberships (which can be used with the membership_name hidden field).

The Tags area (in the People tab) has a 'recurring' tag used for donors with active recurring commitments.
