Every donation sends the donor an automatic receipt email and shows them a thank-you screen. In the donation page editor you can write your own thank-you message and receipt text, send yourself a test, and have another person on your team copied on notifications.

All three settings are in the editor: open **Donation Pages**, open the menu on the page's card and select **Edit**. Select **Save** when you finish.

## Thank You Page

**Thank You Page** is the message donors see after they give. The page already shows share options (copy the page link, share on Facebook, send a text message or send an email), with your message below them. Type your message in the **Success Message** box.

## Receipt Email

Write your own text for the donor receipt in the **Receipt Email** box. You can use these merge tags:

- `{firstname}` becomes the donor's first name.
- `{amount}` becomes the amount of the gift.

Select **Send Test Email** to send a sample to your team's email address. FundHero confirms with "Receipt preview email sent to" and the address. To change that address, go to **Settings** > **Profile** > **Team Email**.

## Notifications

**Additional Notifications** sends a receipt email to one more person on your team for every donation through this page. Enter their address in **Email**. Your team's notification email still receives each notification as well.

## Employer and occupation

If campaign finance law requires it, you can also make donors give their employer and occupation. See [Edit a donation page](https://www.fundhero.com/help/edit-a-donation-page/).
