E360 ChMS & Giving - Form Integration

If you have an account for E360 ChMS and/or E360 Giving, you have the option to share your items with the form tool available with these platforms. You can either use this option in place of the existing, hard-coded email form built with the layout or only use the embedded form for sharing specific items.

To integrate your forms, you will need to copy the embed code from the giving or ChMS platform and then paste the code into the "Evite Form Embed" field.

 

The embed code for a specific form would need to be added to the "Evite Form Embed" field for each sharing item.  Contact so-and-so to find out more about this option, which will require a custom field "Evite Form Embed" to be added so that the FMS iFrame code can be added for a share-able item, etc, etc.
