How to share, notify and close a campaign

Open a survey or idea board, send its link, notify the people who can answer, and close it when you have enough answers.

Open Dodgeball Hub Updated November 14, 2026

A campaign starts as a draft that nobody can answer. Open it, then get the word out: share its link yourself, have Dodgeball Hub notify the people who can answer, or both. Close it when you’ve heard enough.

Before you start

Steps

  1. In your event’s planner, open Feedback & Voting and click the campaign. Your organization’s campaigns are under Feedback & Voting in its menu.

  2. Click Settings.

  3. Set Status to Open and click Save. People can answer from now on, or from the start date if the campaign has one.

  4. Click Copy link and share the link wherever your people will see it: an email, your group chat or the event’s message board. Whoever opens it signs in first, and only the people who can respond can answer.

  5. To notify them through Dodgeball Hub, click Force Send Notification and confirm. For an event’s campaign set to Event Roster (Players & Staff), everyone on its rosters with an account is notified. For your organization’s campaign, its members or managers are, as you chose under Who can respond?. They get a notification in Dodgeball Hub that opens the survey, and an email an hour later if they haven’t read it by then.

  6. The button gives way to the date the notification went out. A campaign’s notification is sent only once.

  7. People who open the link answer your questions and click Submit. Each person answers once: opening the link again tells them they’ve completed the survey.

  8. When you have enough answers, click Settings again, set Status to Closed and click Save. The link now says the survey is closed. Set it back to Open to take answers again.

Then read the results.

Notify automatically

Turn on Send Automatic Notifications in the campaign’s settings, and Dodgeball Hub sends the same notification for you, once, while the campaign is open:

  • For an event’s campaign set to Event Roster (Players & Staff): once the event’s last day is over, so players get it after they’ve played.
  • For any other campaign: once its start date arrives, or as soon as it’s open if it has none.

It can take up to an hour to go out. Once it has, the campaign shows the date it was sent, as in step 6.
