At Action Network, we focus on doing one thing and doing it well: digital mobilization! We focus on mass email, online actions, and mobile messaging, and we ensure that your messages reach your supporters. That’s what I like about Action Network — our tools work. They’re powerful.

But one thing that makes Action Network unique is its flexibility.

To make sure you can incorporate the functionality you need that’s not a part of the Action Network toolset, we integrate with other tools, have a fully-featured API, and provide embeddable widgets for our actions that are fully customizable.

Our integrations bring your whole digital program together.

They give you the power to make your systems communicate with each other and track your activists more accurately.

As the Engineering Partnerships Manager at Action Network, I get to work with our Integration Partners to build connections between the systems that you use. I love that the work I do empowers organizations to get more out of their digital programs.

That’s why I’m excited to tell you about our three newest integration partners: ControlShift Labs, Rising Campaigns, and VoteAmerica!

With the Action Network integration, action takers on ControlShift will be subscribed to your Action Network email list, tagged correctly, and unsubscribed appropriately.
