NOTE: to find out what the "shortlink" referenced in this document is for your organization, scroll to the bottom of this guide.

A ticker is a counter which displays the pot total of your raffle, and links directly to the raffle page. An example of a web ticker is shown below:

You will need to replace the "SHORTLINK" part of the code with the shortlink used by your organization. A shortlink refers to the custom URL for your raffle page. For example, if your organization is called Save the Birds, your shortlink could be "savethebirds", as shown in the following URL:
https://www.rafflebox.ca/raffle/savethebirds
