Integrate with Tango Card for Advocate Programs
Tango Card offers the ability to reward your participants with a number of different gift cards. Using Tango Card gift cards in your program makes it easy to set up and manage rewards.
Account types
There are two types of Tango Card accounts: direct accounts and Advocate-managed sub-accounts. Before setting up the integration, please contact your Program Strategy Manager for guidance about which account type to use.
- Direct Tango Card account:
Direct Tango Card accounts offer the most functionality and control within Tango Card.
- Sub-account managed by Advocate:
Sub-accounts have access to the basic Tango Card functionality, however there are more restrictions and less control over managing the account.

- Within your Tango Card account, create an email template. If you need help, see Tango Card’s Email Templates FAQ.
- Copy your Email Template ID (ETID).
- The ETID should follow this format:
Exxxxxxx
.
- The ETID should follow this format:
- In your impact.com account, from the left navigation menu, select Rewards → Catalog.
- Edit an existing gift card reward, or create a new gift card reward.
- Paste the ETID value from the previous step into the Custom Tango Card Email Template ID field.
- Save your changes.
Now, when the gift card is earned, the custom email you have set up will be sent to the participant.
