We have a big release for you today full of fun new features and shortcuts designed to make your life easier and your digital program stronger. To learn more about how to use the features in this update, attend our next Product Deep Dive, coming up on Wednesday, March 13th at 12pm ET! RSVP here.
New fundraising clips
Just in time for the end of month, you now have access to a whole new set of fundraising personalization clips. Each new clip listed below includes date ranges, so you can personalize your fundraising asks based on average donation since 2021 or between January 1, 2023 and January 1, 2024, for example. Learn more here.
Average donation
Count of donations
Total amount
First donation date
First donation amount
Note: Existing clips 'latest donation', 'highest previous contribution', and 'latest amount' all have dates ranges now as well!
Layout templates
If you use our layouts feature to format your emails, you now have the option to use three new system-wide templates for fundraising, actions, and newsletter-style emails. You can use them as is or duplicate them and customize them to make them your own. Find them on the Email Wrappers & Layouts page via the Details Menu.
You can find these new layout templates on the Email Wrappers & Layouts page.
Additional scheduled reminder for events
You can now easily automate a 1-hour reminder or follow up email for events. In addition to the existing 24-hour reminder for events, there’s a new reminder that you can schedule for a specific date and time. Find it in the Responses tab for all event actions.
New integration: Google Drive
Instead of downloading as a CSV, you can now export your reports, including action reports, directly to Google Drive. Set up the integration via the API & Sync page, select the Google Drive folder you want to download to, and then each time anyone generates a new report for the group they can decide to send it to this folder or download as a CSV.
UX Redesign
Both the uploads page and the target selector for Letter Campaigns got a nice new UX-focused redesign. Note that on the uploads page you’ll now be asked to confirm that everyone in your upload is opted in to either mobile or email.
Please enjoy, and let me know if you have any feedback about either redesign!
Shortcut: Target by mailbox provider (all Hotmail, all Gmail, etc.) using the email field value
You can now backfill the Briteverify sync — more here
New language: Romanian — see the full list of languages Action Network supports here
As with all our new features, these were primarily chosen, brainstormed, and paid for by our Development Partners at the AFL-CIO, Daily Kos, the DNC, and the Canadian Labour Congress — read more about our cooperative development process here.
