Overview
The Appeal Tracking feature is a great bonus tool of TntMPD that helps you measure the response to special appeals that you send.
You can associate both tasks (such as letters and phone calls) and gifts with appeals.
See the Creating Appeals Tutorial for instructions on how to create an appeal.
Once your appeal is set up, you can assign tasks to it. Typically appeals are sent to a group of contacts all at once. Once you have your group of contacts ready, select to log a history event (that is, a completed task).
When a gift is received in response to this gift, edit the gift in the Gift Details box. You can then assign all or part of the gift to the appeal. In this example (below), a $200 gift has been received in response to the appeal.
Back in the Appeal Tracking box, you will see the record of letters sent and gifts received. When you double-click on this appeal (2006-12 Year-End Ask), the 58 completed tasks will appear in the History tab; the gift will appear on the Gifts tab.
Appeal Tracking benefits:
| • | Provides a record of God’s provision for special asks. |
