👊 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!
📝 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!
✅ Which actions are available?
There are two different types of actions you can create; “Field Actions” and “Online Actions”:
🚶Field Actions
The objective of field actions is to get out there and really grow your contact base, update existing records, connect with your community, and be action focused!
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.
Similar to Qomon’s canvassing action, the Mailbox Leafletting 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.
📵 Offline event
The in-person event action allows you to create an event invitation directly from Qomon!
Invite your volunteers to an event you are organizing.
Send push notifications to users you wish to invite.
You will know which users are participating.
Say your organization is holding a fundraising event, you can head over to actions on Qomon and enter all the details for your users/volunteers to see. You will be able to enter the following information: an address, the name of your event, the date, and any forms/petitions/external links.
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.
