Creating a Custom URL on GiveSendGo

Creating a Custom URL

When you create a campaign on GiveSendGo, you can choose a custom web address (URL) for your campaign page. A custom URL makes your campaign easier to share, remember, and find again later.

How to Create a Custom URL

Set your custom URL during the campaign creation process. You can do this in phase two of the campaign creation process, Details. Once there, simply locate the Campaign URL (Optional) field and enter the web address you’d like to use. If the URL is available, it will be assigned to your campaign once it’s published.


Things to Know Before Choosing a URL

Keep these important points in mind:

  1. Custom URLs must be unique—no two campaigns can share the same URL
  2. Custom URLs can only include letters, numbers, and hyphens.
  3. Changing a campaign URL may affect previously shared links

Choose something simple, clear, and closely related to your campaign’s purpose.

What If the URL I Want Is Already Taken?

If your preferred URL isn’t available, you can try:
  1. Adding a location (for example: john-medical-fund-texas)
  2. Including a year (for example: smith-family-2026)
  3. Adding a short descriptive word like “support,” “relief,” or “fund”
  4. Using hyphens to separate words for readability
You can also adjust the wording slightly to reflect your specific situation—just keep it clear, simple, and easy to remember.

If You Need to Change Your URL

You can't edit your custom URL directly from your account. If you need to request a change, see How to Change Your Campaign’s Custom URL.
