How is a door-to-door action carried out on Qomon? 🚪

💻 How to create a canvassing action from the web platform

⚠️ There are two methods through which you can set-up canvassing actions:

  • Using the addresses in your contact database.

  • Based on geographical area. This method is most commonly used when you have not imported a file into your contact database. You will be given a street list and you can add contacts directly from the Qomon app.

1️⃣ From the "Actions" tab

Click on the "Actions" tab in the menu on the left-hand side of your screen > Then select "Create action" at the top right.

  • Simply select the type of action you'd like, in this case, "Canvassing."

  • Choose the zone in which you want the canvassing to take place. Select one or more streets, or even, a city:

  • You can also draw and select an area where you want to conduct your canvassing directly on the map. It could be a polling station, a district or neighborhood, or even a geographic area (North, South, etc...).

  • ⚠️ Decide which method you would like to use (description below the image underneath):

    ➡️ "The selected area": Canvass the entire area that you chose. This includes streets where you have both contacts already in your database and areas where you don't. You'll be able to add new contacts directly on the app and update any existing contacts.

    ➡️ "My selected contacts": Your members will be given specific addresses from your contact database that reside in the area you selected. They'll be able to update any existing contacts directly on the Qomon app.

    ➡️ "The streets where I don't have contacts": Specifically target people in the selected area that are not already in your contact database. Your members will be able to create new contacts directly on the Qomon app.

3️⃣ From the "Contact database" tab

On the left-hand side of the screen, you'll find the "Contacts" tab.

  • Once you've selected a part of your database, click on "Action" and "Create an action" to enter the action creation tunnel!
