How to Add Participants and Teams for Peer-to-Peer Fundraisers
Add Participants and/or Teams to your Peer-to-Peer or A-Thon Campaign.
If you're running a Peer-to-Peer or A-Thon Campaign on RallyUp, you can opt for public registration (anyone who visits your fundraiser can sign up) or private registration (manually add Participants* and/or Teams* instead of allowing them to sign up on their own).
Understand: Public vs. Private Registration
No matter which registration option you choose, you can manually add or import Participants and/or Teams.
Enable Participants and/or Teams
- Go to Campaigns in the left menu.
- If you have chosen list view, click on the Campaign title. If you have chosen grid view, click on the Campaign image.
- Select Campaign Setup*.
- Go to Peer-to-Peer in the timeline at the top and check the box(es) next to Yes, this Campaign will have Participants/Teams*:
You can enable just Participants, just Teams, or both. If you like, customize the terminology by selecting an option from the dropdown menu or selecting Other and adding your own term.
- Scroll down to Choose the information to collect from Participants/Teams during the registration process* and select the information you want each Participant/Team to provide:
Any fields marked Required must be filled out before registration can be completed. If you’d like Participants to be able to create an account on RallyUp, track their fundraising progress, modify their Fundraising Page, view their donors, and more, we recommend requiring an email address.
- Select Save.
Enable Private Registration
All Peer-to-Peer Campaigns default to public registration, but you can switch to private registration easily:
- Go to Campaigns in the left menu.
- If you have chosen list view, click on the Campaign title. If you have chosen grid view, click on the Campaign image.
- Select Campaign Setup*.
- Go to Peer-to-Peer in the timeline at the top.
- Scroll down to Expand optional settings and click on the down arrowhead (⌄).
- Scroll down to How will participants join the Campaign? and/or How will teams be created? and select Private:
- Select Save.
Add Participants/Teams Manually
If you only have a few Participants or Teams, you can add them manually.
Before You Begin
- If you’re collecting registration fees, the only way to collect that fee is to go to your Participant Center and add the Participant/Team via the checkout process. If you follow the instructions below instead, no registration fee will be collected.
Understand: Peer-to-Peer Participant Center
Instructions
- Go to Campaigns in the left menu.
- If you have chosen list view, click on the Campaign title. If you have chosen grid view, click on the Campaign image.
- Select View Participants* or View Teams*, then select ACTIONS.
- Select Add Participant* or Add Team* and enter the Participant's or Team's information:
- Select Save.
Import Participants/Teams
If you have many Participants or Teams to add, we recommend importing them to save time.
Before You Begin
- Keep the column names when you download the template (changing them will cause the import to fail).
- If your Campaign has both Participants and Teams, make sure you’ve added all Teams before importing Participants. If you import a Participant who's assigned to a Team that hasn’t been created, the Participant will still be added but they won't be assigned to a Team.
- The columns with required registration information will need to be filled out. Columns with unrequired registration information can be left blank if needed.
Instructions
- Go to Campaigns in the left menu.
- If you have chosen list view, click on the Campaign title. If you have chosen grid view, click on the Campaign image.
- Select View Participants* or View Teams*, then select ACTIONS.
- Select Import Participants* or Import Teams* to upload many at once.
- Select a registration type (optional) and download the spreadsheet template:
- Fill out the spreadsheet, ensuring all required fields are completed. Non-required fields can be left blank if needed.
- Select Upload spreadsheet.
- Select Start import. You'll be notified if there are any errors preventing the import.
- Once all Participants/Teams are imported successfully, select Close.
