I've looked around a bit in the documentation, but it seems like everything is geared towards tracking donations to email campaigns. Some of my older supporters don't use email so I often send USPS mail campaigns, can I use this feature built into the donor page - or do I just need to use a tag for each mail campaign?
There are a few ways you could do it - you can tag everyone that you send the donation mail to and then do a filter for those people + donors to get a list of donors from that mailing. Or, you could have a specific donation url in the letter to make sure to guide people to that page so it can have a tracking code. So something like yoursite.com/donatenow so it would add automatically.
If you are receiving the donations back in the mail you can add the page the donation came from when you are entering it so it would have the correct tracking code.
Let us know if you have any additional questions!
At the bottom of a new donation page in the bottom right column there is a place to add a 'page' - meaning the slug of a webpage.

So you could have a donation page for the mailing that includes a donation tracking code.
Then you could manually enter donations with the same tracking code but NOT the page slug.
So – you could filter for donations that have the tracking code to get ALL donations from your mailing – or the tracking code AND the page slug so you could see the difference between donations that came in online (tracking code + page slug) and the ones you manually entered (tracking code no page slug)
I hope that helps!
I also added a screenshot above of the new donation page where you can also enter the slug of that donation page if you were entering manual donations.
“you can add the page the donation came from when you are entering it so it would have the correct tracking code.”
Are you talking about a donation page? What if I created a hidden webpage that had the text of my mailer? Can I link donations to that page?
