}Apply Button
Apply button of each opportunity needs to be linked to the respective Apply URL + Redirect URL to record the volunteer applications into your VBC account and redirect volunteer back to your desired page.
Apply URL
Apply URL for each opportunity is available in the feed.
Redirect URL
This is the url of the page where the volunteer will be redirected after an application process.
Eg : If your opportunity listing page is http://mosaico.vedacrm.co.uk/vbcqa-opportunities and you would like to redirect the volunteer to the opportunity listing page again, this url needs to be passed along with the apply URL
So the Apply Button link will be as follows
https://v-base.org/vbaseqa/civicrm/profile/edit?reset=1&gid=14&oppId=227&caction=volapplication&redirect=http://mosaico.vedacrm.co.uk/vbcqa-opportunities
Application Status
Application status will be passed back with the redirect URL on completion of the application and this status token can be used to notify the user about the application status (success / already_applied).
