With more and more policymaking processes happening remotely, it's increasingly important to ensure that advocates are connected to their elected officials.
​
MyActionAlerts is a completely free beta product that allows anyone to sign up and create customizable Action Alerts (compliant with terms of use) that facilitate feedback to lawmakers, hearings officers, or any other e-mail addresses you like.
E-mails arrive to inboxes from a SendGrid server but labeled with your advocates' names and e-mail addresses. Rotating subject lines help avoid spam filters, and the interface remembers frequent users to make re-engagement easy. Then, download your results data as an Excel spreadsheet and apply it to any compatible tool.
​
Right now, we're testing functionality and so it's free to you on an as-is basis!
Q: Is this free or will you charge for features?
A: Right now, it's free so long as you stay within the terms of service. This may develop into a paid service in the future but at this point any functionality is accessible to everyone.
​
Q: Will your branding appear on the Action Alert page I create?
A: Nope. Feel free to add your own organization's logo and colors and a link back to your site.
​
Q: Is there a limit to how many alerts I can create?
A: Not at this point, but if that becomes abused we may have to add limits.
​
Q: Will the "E-mail legislators" function work with any state?
A: Right now, the function to automatically find and e-mail state legislators only works in Oregon. We may add other states in the future but have no plans to do so for the free version.
