Hi John,
Our team will be getting together in-person for a staff retreat this week. As a result, our demos and trainings are cancelled this week. We'll be back with our usual schedule next week. In the meantime, you can always watch recordings of our trainings on our Youtube channel here.
Our latest blog post delves into how the Minnesota DFL uses Networks to empower candidates and organizations statewide. Tyler Schultz, Data Director at the DFL, offered this bit of advice for using Networks effectively:
"One best practice is making tags as standardized as you can — because sometimes words can mean multiple things, and things get really messy, and it’s hard to put that toothpaste back in the tube. If you have a tag that says ‘User ID’ or something, is that an ActBlue ID? Is that a VAN ID? If we make that mistake in our parent group, that will affect all of the child groups."
Check out the case study here.
Take a look at our calendar for information on our weekly trainings covering features on Action Network and Action Builder, and stay tuned on our blog and follow us on Bluesky, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
In Solidarity,
Jeff Dugas
Marketing & Communications Manager
Action Builder & Action Network
