ActionButton actions can now trigger NationBuilder automations
This update was published on November 22, 2022
🌟 ActionButton
Actions from “Contact your Representative” and “Signup” ActionButtons can now be added as a source of an automation in NationBuilder!
Multiple source automations
This update was published on November 3, 2022
🤖Automations
A couple of years ago, we launched our automation feature, allowing you to send emails series to a specified list of people. We received feedback that it would be really useful to send the same automation to multiple audiences.
We’re thrilled to announce the addition of a new automation type, multiple-source automations, to solve this problem. You can now enroll multiple groups of recipients into the same automation: no need to duplicate automations to add new people! These groups include:Results of a filter - add people in batches
- Page settings - add people as they sign up
- Actions from a “Contact your Representative” and “Signup” ActionButton if you have the ActionButton add-on enabled
To see this new feature in action, watch our recorded video.
We'll also be hosting webinars on December 8th to dig into the strategy, so make sure to register:
Level up engagement with supporter journeys and a NEW automation feature
