How to Manage and Reply to Giver Comments on Your Campaign
Keeping your campaign page clean, encouraging, and on-message is easy with GiveSendGo’s comment management tools. Whether you want to reply to a message from a giver, remove an inappropriate comment, or understand who can make edits—we'll guide you through it all in this article.
Removing Donation Comments
If
a comment on your campaign page needs to be removed (for example, if it
contains incorrect details or sensitive info), here’s how to do it:
- Log in to your GiveSendGo account
- Go to the Campaign Dashboard of the campaign the donation was made to
- Open the Campaign Data tab
- Open the Comments/Replies section in the dropdown
- Click the trash can icon next to the comment you want to delete
This will immediately remove the comment from public view on your campaign page.
Who Can Edit Donation Comments?
Campaign
organizers and recipients cannot edit a giver’s comment. GiveSendGo
allows givers to edit their own comments. To do so, givers can simply
click the link provided in their donation receipt to access and update
their message.
If
you’re a campaign owner or recipient and a comment on your campaign
includes something that needs to be edited—such as private details—you
should be able to edit it by going to your "Campaign Data" tab and
clicking on "Comments/Replies".
Replying to Donation Comments
Want
to thank someone publicly or follow up on a message left with a
donation? You can leave a reply to a comment right on the campaign
page! Engaging with your supporters is one of the simplest and most
powerful ways to build momentum around your campaign. A kind reply to a
giver’s comment shows appreciation, builds trust, and encourages others
to join in.
Whether
someone leaves a few encouraging words or shares why they gave, taking a
moment to respond helps foster community and connection. Even a quick Thank you so much, Thomas!, for example, can make a lasting impression.
To reply to a comment left on your campaign:
- Go to your Campaign Dashboard
- Navigate to the Campaign Data section
- Head to Comments/Replies
- Find the comment and click the pencil icon to the right of it
- Enter your message in the Reply On Comment box
Your reply will appear directly beneath the giver’s original comment
Pro
tip: Keep your replies genuine and gracious. Every acknowledgment is a
chance to deepen support and keep givers engaged throughout your
campaign.
