About

Action Network is an advocacy platform that allows political organizers to mobilize supporters, fundraise, organize events, create petitions, and automate advocacy efforts.

The software provides tools for email, mobile messaging, fundraising, event management, and advocacy automation designed to help groups engage supporters and inspire action.

Action Network is unique among political CRMs in that they are a 501C4 non-profit, and they share ownership of their development roadmap with their core community of users.


Use this plugin to:

Import comprehensive people, transaction, and message data from Action Network into Engine9.

Build targeting lists in Engine9 for use in Action Network.

Use lifetime value and message attribution models to analyze long-term ROI calculations and source-code-based revenue attribution.

What we love and don't love so much

Why we value this plugin and things that are not so great.

Pros

Their Ideals - we love the business model, support for the progressive sector, and collaborative product development process.

MySQL Mirror -with this in place, we can pull data from your Action Network database at very frequent intervals. It is usually the only way to export data at scale.

Cons

API Access - Action Network’s API is limited, and usually only usable for Message data (People and Transactions are not available).

Aging Tech - Action Network’s codebase is aging, putting into question the long-term health of the platform.
