Watch the video for more insight and follow the instructions listed below:

Thermometers are best used for specific events or end of year giving to capture donations. These and other widgets are available only if you are on our Growth Plan. Contact [email protected] if you would like to upgrade.

Step 1: Sign up for free account at Rally.so

Tip: We suggest using the same email you use to log into the Rally Corp Platform.

Step 2: Confirm your free account via your email address.

Step 3: Admin will change account to paid account. If in a rush, email [email protected].

Step 4: Before creating thermometer, add your platform number or the 24365 shortcode, whichever you plan to use for your event/fundraiser.

Tip: We suggest making sure you have made the appropriate edits/changes to your keyword workflow and publishing it before creating your thermometer. You want to make sure that you have 2 prompts, the first asking for a name and the second the pledge amount. You can edit the workflow anytime, but it's important that it's accurate and published once you share the thermometer or are using it for your event/fundraiser. Click here for help on how to edit your keyword workflow.

Also add your API token which can be found in your Rally Corp platform account tab.

Tip: Do not share this API Token with anyone else, this is specific to your account.

Step 5: Select Thermometer from left menu and then click the Create Thermometer button. Add your keyword, the phone number the keyword is on again, and your goal fundraising amount.

Now begin customizing your thermometer by working through the tabs (General, Header, Inputs, Outputs, Button, & Footer). Don't forget to update your thermometer when you are finished and get the embed code for your website and the share link.

Please email [email protected] with any questions.
