What is an Action?
Actions are engaging activities that you can set up from the web application and assign to members of your organization on the mobile app.
🤔 How does it work?
On the web application, you have multiple ways of creating an action: the actions tab, the map, and the contact database. Once you have chosen where to start from, you will be able to create, assign, and track the progress of your actions.
The mobile users or teams that you assign to an action will receive a notification on their mobile phone, be able to view the action, mark their attendance, add the action to their calendar, and start!
✅ Which actions are available?
Read on to learn about the different actions available in Qomon:
The canvassing action’s goal is to make your volunteers' door-to-door process as efficient as possible:
Provide your teams with a list of streets and addresses to visit.
Add communication tools for your users.
Track live information brought by this canvassing.
Follow the progress of "completed" and "to do" streets.
If you want to go door-to-door to get new contacts or see how your existing contacts are feeling about your initiative or movement etc., Qomon’s walk list will ensure you are optimizing your route and time.
☎️ Calling
Looking to set up a calling event to engage contacts and gauge their support for your initiative? The Calling action makes it simple by creating a call list for your volunteers to use directly from their mobile phone:
Filter or turf cut the contacts to include in your action.
Set an event name and date for your volunteers information.
Create a script or talking points, so your volunteers feel confident.
And even attach a survey and qualify your conversations.
📶 Event
With Qomon, organizing an Event is simple - whether it’s online (add a Zoom/meeting link), in person (enter a location), or hybrid (include both). Add the event name, date, and key details, then include Qomon forms, petitions, or external links to support your goal.
Your event automatically generates a dedicated action page where users and non-users can RSVP, so you can easily track who’s attending. Send push notifications to your users or emails/sms to new contacts to keep everyone informed - so no one misses the link, the location, or the purpose of the event.
Similar to Qomon’s canvassing action, the Literature Drops action is here to give your volunteers a targeted walk list.
Provide your teams with a list of streets.
They will be able to mark off which they have completed.
Follow the progress of "completed" and "to do" streets.
Don't ever miss a street!
Whether you are distributing brochures or flyers, this action is designed to help you make the most of your time with a targeted and organized walk list.
The Challenge action is a fantastic way to inspire your volunteers by setting clear, action focused goals. Whether it's adding a set number of contacts or distributing a certain amount of flyers, this action helps keep your teams motivated and focused.
Simply set a date, choose a meeting spot, and define the challenge—whether it's meeting as many people as possible or completing surveys.
Volunteers can easily add new contacts on the go using the mobile app, helping to grow your database.
Track in real-time your volunteers progress.
Beautiful weather expected this weekend? Perfect time to challenge your team to connect with as many people as possible while they're out enjoying the day!

📝 How to make notes for your volunteers?
You can provide notes and extra information for your volunteers to view while carrying out any action. For example:
When organizing an event, describe the event and provide clear details on timing and location;
For phone banking or call actions, you can write a script to guide conversations;
And for canvassing actions, share helpful talking points.
This ensures volunteers have the right information at their fingertips to make each action more successful!
🤔 What next?
Follow your volunteers' progress with the actions you’ve created. Don’t forget to close actions when they are no longer relevant, that way your actions dashboard won’t look too cluttered!
