This feature is only available with the Donorfy Professional plan
You can include a link in emails you send to your constituents directly from their Timeline in Donorfy which can be clicked on to allow people to update their contact details and other preferences - note that the links
- Are valid for 7 days

You must set up the information needed by the self-service widget for the links to work - to do this see this article and complete the first two steps in that article - i.e.
- Choose which Purposes to Display on the Preference Update Form

- Enter the text and placeholders you want in your document
- In the place in the document where you want to include the link to update details press the link button on the toolbar - see below
- In the window that pops up
- Enter the text you want to appear in your document into Display Text
