Magic Links

Let's learn about Magic Links!

In many support articles and conversations with our event experts, you will hear the phrase "magic link(s)." 

What Is a Magic Link?

“A magic link is a type of login that does not require a password. Instead of login credentials, the user is provided a URL with an embedded token through email or SMS. When a user clicks the link, they are sent to the application as if they used a “magic” password, but without an actual password!” (Downing, "Explained: Magic Links")

How does Event.Gives use Magic Links?

Sometimes half the battle is getting your supporters logged in. And they must be logged in before they can do what they want: bid, buy, and donate.

With an Event.Gives magic link, sent through a blast message, donors are able to skip the frustrating process of remembering login credentials like phone numbers and passwords.

Donors can quickly pull up their ticket QR code, finish their check-out process, or donate more money using their card on file.
