Create meaningful action in minutes with the engaging new tool.

Updated over a week ago

What is ActionButton?

ActionButton is a powerful and visually engaging new tool designed to attract, understand, and mobilize your supporters. It only takes a few clicks to build your button, share it with your community–on your NationBuilder site, on social media, or embedded elsewhere–and analyze the results.

Gain insights with one action or string together actions to create dynamic, multi-step engagement tools to increase utility and get more out of ActionButton.

Buttons include:

  • Sentiment and traditional polls

  • Quizzes

  • Donations

  • A volunteer carrousel

  • Signups

  • Petitions

  • Long-form opinions

  • Check registration

As well as premium buttons for legislative advocacy available for an additional cost or included in Pro plans:

  • Email federal legislators (US/UK/CAN/AU/NZ)

  • Email state legislators (US/CAN/AU/NZ)

  • Call legislators (US/CAN/AU/NZ)

  • Tweet legislators (US/CAN/AU/NZ)

  • Enter a custom email target

The advocacy features allow you to create campaigns that enable supporters to directly contact their legislators in just a few clicks––making it quick and easy to send personalized messages to key elected officials that have a real impact on how policy is written.

Finally, ActionButton easily integrates with NationBuilder, so anyone taking action on a button can be added to an automation, automatically tagged within your nation, assigned to a point person or a path, and more! Plus, there are metrics tracking tools included on both platforms — even without a NationBuilder website!

All paid NationBuilder accounts come with two free buttons per month.

How do I activate ActionButton?

ActionButton is a free NationBuilder add-on, meaning it's ready to go in your nation when you're ready to activate it.

  1. Navigate to the ActionButton icon in your control panel's sidebar.

  2. Click "Activate ActionButton" to enable the free add-on in your Add-ons section.

  3. You’ll be taken to the ActionButton app to set up your account and connect it to NationBuilder.

If you don't have this option or run into any issues don't hesitate to contact our support team at [email protected]. Or, learn more about what it can do for your organization.
