Managing Campaigns

Campaign Overview

In TipPanel, a campaign represents a widget configuration that you can embed on your website. Each campaign has its own:

• Name: A descriptive name to help you identify the campaign
• Domain: The website domain where the widget will be embedded
• Widget Type: Floating or Inline (depending on your subscription plan)
• Appearance Settings: Colors, fonts, position, and other visual settings
• Custom Text: Customizable text for all widget elements
• Status: Active or Inactive

The Campaigns page in your dashboard shows a list of all your campaigns with key information and action buttons for each one.

Creating a Campaign

To create a new campaign:

1. Navigate to the Campaigns page in your dashboard
2. Click the Create Campaign button in the top-right corner
3. Fill in the campaign details:
   • Campaign Name: Enter a descriptive name (e.g., "Blog Tips", "Support Donations")
   • Domain: Enter the domain where you'll embed the widget (e.g., "myblog.com")
   • Widget Type: Select Floating or Inline (Inline is only available on Pro plan and above)
4. Click Create to save your new campaign

After creating a campaign, you'll be redirected to the Campaigns page where your new campaign will appear in the list. From there, you can customize its appearance, get the embed code, or perform other actions.

Editing a Campaign

To edit an existing campaign:

1. Navigate to the Campaigns page in your dashboard
2. Find the campaign you want to edit in the list
3. Click the Edit button (pencil icon) for that campaign
4. Update the campaign details:
   • Campaign Name: Change the descriptive name
   • Domain: Update the domain if needed
   • Widget Type: Change between Floating and Inline (if available on your plan)

6. Click Save to apply your changes

For more detailed information on customizing your widget's appearance, see the Widget Appearance documentation.

Cloning a Campaign

Cloning a campaign creates a duplicate with all the same settings, which you can then modify. This is useful when you want to create similar widgets for different websites or sections of your site.

To clone a campaign:

1. Navigate to the Campaigns page in your dashboard
2. Find the campaign you want to clone
3. Click the Clone button (copy icon) for that campaign
4. A new campaign will be created with the name "Copy of [Original Campaign Name]"
5. You can then edit the cloned campaign as needed

Deleting a Campaign

To delete a campaign:

1. Navigate to the Campaigns page in your dashboard
2. Find the campaign you want to delete
3. Click the Delete button (trash icon) for that campaign
4. Confirm the deletion in the confirmation dialog

If you want to temporarily disable a campaign instead of deleting it, you can set its status to "Inactive" in the campaign settings.

Getting the Embed Code

To get the embed code for your campaign:

1. Navigate to the Campaigns page in your dashboard
2. Find the campaign you want to embed
3. Click the Embed Code button (code icon) for that campaign
4. Copy the generated code snippet
5. Paste the code into your website's HTML, just before the closing </body> tag

<script src="https://tippanel.com/widget/widget.js" 
        id="tippanel-widget" 
        data-website-id="your-website-id" 
        data-campaign-id="your-campaign-id" 
        async></script>
