lead-page-builder-image-01-924437ac4c4974ce808a93b72431abe6

Lead Pages are customizable landing pages designed to collect information from visitors—such as names, email addresses, phone numbers, and other details—without processing any donations or financial data.

These pages are ideal for email list signups, petitions, surveys, and similar non-financial campaigns.

Lead Page submissions can be seamlessly sent to many of Anedot’s native integrations with email service providers for streamlined follow-up and engagement.

Page Name

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 03.45.37@2x

Apply a custom Page Name to the Lead Page by clicking the Pencil icon in the upper left corner of the Builder toolbar. Enter your new Page Name, then click the Check to save your changes.

The Page Name is not visible to supporters. This is an internal field that helps keep your pages organized and easily identifiable.


Page URL (Page Slug)

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 03.45.53@2x

The Page URL (Page Slug) is what makes each individual Action Page unique. Each Page Slug must be unique to each page. 

Click the Pencil icon in the upper right corner of the Builder toolbar. Enter your new Page Slug, then click the Check to save your changes.

Examples: petition, volunteer-survey, sign-up, support etc.


Presets

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 03.46.15@2x

Presets allow you to save a configuration for individual areas of the Builder. These Presets can then be used for other Action Pages, limiting the need to manually edit each new page from scratch.

Presets are available within the following areas of the Builder:

  • Design>Brand
  • Form
  • Workflows>Upgrades
  • Workflows>Recovery
  • Workflows>Receipt
  • Settings>General

To create a new Preset, click Save as Preset within the Preset block pinned to the top of the tab within the Builder. Next, enter a custom Preset Name. The Preset can then be used for other Action Pages.

The Presets feature is optional. To bypass creating a Preset, click Publish in the upper right corner of the Builder. Note that the Preset block will state "No Preset."

  • Image: The following files are supported: JPG, PNG, and GIF

  • Divider: This can be used as a page break or as a design element.

  • Timer: Use the timer to set a deadline or countdown to encourage support from your donors.

Setting a deadline or countdown using the Timer block does not disable the Action Page once the timer has run out. The timer will be set to zero. The time will need to be manually removed or updated to reset the deadline or countdown.

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 05.01.47@2x

Add a Background Image within the Page block of the Design>Content tab. Use the Image Scale to adjust the layout of the Background Image.

For optimal resolution, we recommend the Background Image size be at least 1920 x 1080.

When placing a Background Image, the image will not be displayed within the Builder. Once you have added a Background Image or made adjustments, we recommend publishing the page, then copying the Share URL and opening the link in a new tab in your browser.


Page Layout

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 05.02.20@2x

Within Design > Content, adjust your Page Layout by selecting the following:

  • 1-Column
  • 2-Column

The 2-column layout type is recommended for Lead Pages with multiple Content Blocks (Text, Images, Videos, etc.). When the 2-Column layout is selected, all Content Blocks will be shown in the left column; the right column will include the Form field and submission button.

Form Position:

  • Left
  • Center
  • Right

To view the customizations you have made to the Page Layout, we recommend publishing the page, then copying the Share URL and opening the link in a new tab in your browser. The changes made to the Page Layout will not be displayed within the Builder.


Exit Intent

Enabling the Exit Intent feature for your Action Page will cause a popup to appear when a supporter attempts to exit the page before completing their submission.

​Customize the Exit Intent feature by adding a Title, Image, or GIF, and a custom Message.

When the Exit Intent feature is enabled on an Action Page, an ?exitIntent=true URL parameter will be added to the URL for tracking purposes. This parameter will only be passed when a supporter interacts with the Exit Intent feature and makes a successful submission. You can locate this data within the CSV export under the Referrer to Form URL column or in the Referrer field included in your data relays to your connected integrations.


Brand

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 05.03.40@2x

The Design > Brand tab allows you to upload a custom Logo, edit the color scheme, and adjust the type settings.

  3. Optionally, enter a Logo Link URL. Entering a Logo Link URL allows the image to become clickable to easily redirect your supporters to another webpage.

It is recommended that Logo images are at least 450 pixels wide.


Colors

Customize the color scheme of your Donation Page to reflect the organization’s branding.

Text: The Text color selected will be the default color used for Text Blocks added to the Donation Page. The Text color can be edited further within the Text Editor.

Action Button: The Action Button color will affect the Preset Amount buttons and the Donate button at the bottom of the Donation Page.

Background: If a Background Image is not uploaded to the Donation Page, the selected color will be used to fill the background.

Header Background: If the Logo image does not fill the Header block, the Header Background color will fill behind the logo.

Additional Color customizations are available for organizations with Pro features enabled. If you would like access to Pro features, please contact our Support team here.

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 05.11.13@2x

Hidden fields can be used to pass hidden values for successful submissions. The hidden field values can be passed to your third-party integrations or be used for internal tracking purposes.

When creating a Hidden field, be sure to apply a custom Key. The Key must be unique. If you have previously set up a Hidden field with a unique Key, access the Account Fields from the Custom Field list to reuse the existing field. You will receive an error if you attempt to set up a duplicate Hidden field with the same Key.

Setting a Global Value is optional. If a Global Value is entered, it will be used for all submissions made through the page to which the field has been applied.

To use the Key across multiple pages but pass a unique value per page, set a unique Page Value by accessing the Settings>Sharing>Page Specific Values tab in the Builder.

A Page Value or URL Parameter can override the Global Value.

To add a Checkbox to the field, select Clickwrap as the Agreement Type.

Every custom field added to your Action Pages is saved as an Account Field. These fields can be used again for future pages, preventing the need to create a new custom field.

To access Account Fields, click the + Add Field within the Form tab of the Builder, then scroll down to past the custom field types. You will receive an error message if you attempt to create a duplicate custom field that is already available in your list of Account Fields.

Table of Contents

Access the Workflows tab within the Builder to enable UpgradesRecovery (Abandoned Actions), and customize Receipts.


Upgrades

The Upgrades feature enables organizations to encourage support for additional fundraising efforts by applying Post-conversion Upgrades to the Lead Page.

Post-conversion Upgrades allow you to redirect your supporters to another Action Page after they have made their initial submission.


Post-conversion Upgrades

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 05.22.59@2x

With Post-conversion Upgrades, you can redirect your supporters to one or many additional Action Pages after their initial submission. Before getting started, you will first need to create the individual Action Page(s) you would like supporters directed to.

If a Recovery Message is enabled on an Action Page you plan to connect as a Post-Conversion Upgrade, the Recovery Message will not be triggered on the Upgrade.

Once you have built the Action Page(s), return to the Workflows>Upgrade tab within the Builder to set up your Post-conversion Upgrade.

To connect a Post-Conversion Upgrade, select Add post-conversion upgrade, then Click + Create New. You will then be redirected to the Post-Conversion Upgrade editor where you can add a Name to the upgrade and set breakpoints.

Breakpoints allow you to determine which supporters are directed to the upgrade. The default breakpoint is set from $0 - $1,000. At this breakpoint, supporters who gave over $1,000 will not be shown the upgrade. You can adjust the breakpoints to fit your supporter base and needs.

Set up additional breakpoints by clicking the blue + Add Breakpoint button at the bottom of the editor. Supporters will be directed to the breakpoint that corresponds to their original submission amount.

To connect an Action Page(s) to the Post-conversion Upgrade, click + Add New. If multiple Action Pages are selected, they will appear in a grid format for your supporters.

To override the Preset Amounts listed on the Action Page(s) you have connected, click the Override Amounts toggle. An Amounts menu will appear where you can customize the Preset Amounts by Dollar or Percentage.

Click Save before exiting the Pre-conversion editor. You will then be redirected to the Upgrade tab. Next, click Add post-conversion recurring from the Upgrade Workflow list, then select your new Post-conversion Upgrade from the dropdown list. Before exiting the Builder, click Publish in the upper right corner.


Recovery (Abandoned Actions)

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 05.23.47@2x

The Abandoned Actions feature automatically sends follow-up emails to supporters who were unable to successfully complete their donation. If a supporter enters their email address on your Donation Page but does not make a successful submission, a custom message will be sent to help recover the lost conversion.

Access the Workflows>Recover tab of the Builder, then click Enable Abandoned Actions to utilize Recovery Messages.

Once you have enabled the feature, customize the following:

  • Message Subject (displayed as the email Subject line)
  • Message Body
  • Page Form Link Text (your donation link will be hyperlinked with this text)
  • Contact Delay

Receipts

Receipt Message

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 05.25.32@2x

To add a custom Message to your Confirmation Page, click on the existing Text that is included in the display of the Workflows > Receipt tab. A Text Editor will appear, allowing you to add your custom Message. Once you have added your custom Message, click Save within the Text Editor.

Additional details to include in the Message:

  • A link to the organization's website or social media pages
  • Contact information for the organization
  • A reference to the Fund the donor contributed to
  • Details for upcoming events or volunteer opportunities

The following Variable Tags are available:

  • {last_name}
  • {donation_amount}
  • {suffix}
  • {title}

Callback URL

Callback URL allows you to redirect your supporters to a unique page after a successful submission has been made.

Applying a Callback URL will override the Confirmation Page provided by Anedot. You may redirect your supporters to a new donation page, your organization's website, or a unique Thank You page built outside of Anedot.

To apply a Callback URL, access the Workflows>Receipts tab within the Builder. Within the Receipt tab, scroll to the bottom for the editor and enter the page URL into the Callback URL field.

Embed Code

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 05.27.46@2x

The Embed Code can be used to embed your Anedot Lead Page directly into your website using an iFrame.

While the Embed Code is available for power users, Anedot generally recommends utilizing the Hosted Page (Share URL) over iFrames. Here’s why:

  • Embedded pages rely on your webpage security and may be less secure than a hosted page.
  • You may have reduced conversion rates due to connection issues with the server.
  • Design elements and page disclaimers are excluded from embedded pages and require customization using HTML and CSS within your webpage builder.
  • Supporters may experience errors accessing an embedded page from mobile devices.

When completing the setup of your webpage, we recommend testing the compatibility of your page with different browsers and devices.


Page URL

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 05.27.37@2x

The Page URL is what makes each individual Action Page unique. If you have already used /donate as the Page URL for another Action Page, it cannot be used again.

The Page URL can also be customized at the top of the Builder. Click the Pencil icon to the right of the Page URL to edit.


SEO

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 05.28.00@2x

Customize the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) by adding a Title Tag and Meta Description. This information will be used when your page is public and appears in search results.

Add a Share TitleShare Description, and Share Images to the Social Settings tab. This data will auto-populate when the Action Page is shared on social media platforms, and through text.


Page Specific Values

CleanShot 2025-08-22 at 05.26.59@2x

Within the Page Specific Values tab, you can add a Source Code and Page Values for Custom Hidden Fields.

Source Code can be applied at the page level in the Default Source Code field. When a Source Code is applied, it will show within the Page URL. You can remove this from the Page URL and the Source Code will still track successfully.

When Custom Hidden Fields are added within the Form tab of the Builder, you will be able to apply a custom Page Value for the Hidden Field Key on this tab.
