Hi John,
Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve released a steady stream of new Mobile Messaging features to help you engage your activists in creative ways (Text-To-Take-Action, Mobile Inbox enhancements, and Call Campaigns, to name a few). But these features are only effective if you have an engaged mobile list!
One of our newest features helps you build your mobile list quickly and easily by syncing new mobile opt-ins from ActBlue to your Action Network list!
A year ago we built a new ActBlue sync, and this week we made it even better (if you're not using the updated sync, do it today!). Now when someone donates, gives their mobile number, and opts in to mobile messages on ActBlue, that info will be added automatically to your Action Network group, and you can start sending them mobile messages right away (and maybe even a gif — Action Network now supports MMS!).
Join us for a live demo to learn more about this new feature! Mobile Messaging demos are held every Wednesday at 2pm ET / 11am PT. Click here to RSVP.
You can also read more about our newest mobile features — and say hello to my dog Sunny, who is looking very stylish in her new hat — in my new post on the Action Network blog. Click here to read the post.
Take care,
Mari Vangen | The Action Network
Product Manager
