Scripts and surveys are the two tools that make a walk conversation valuable. Scripts make sure every volunteer says the right thing. Surveys capture what voters tell you at the door — data that feeds your targeting for the next round of outreach.
Scripts
A script is the talking points a volunteer reads at the door. It appears on their phone with a tap of the Script button.
Creating a script
- Go to Dashboard → Scripts → New Script
- Write your talking points in the editor
- Use
{{tokens}} to personalize:
{{walker_name}} — the volunteer’s first name
{{first_name}} — the voter’s first name
{{address}} — the stop’s street address
{{city}} — the city
- Click Save to publish
Assigning a script to a walk
When generating walks or from the walk detail page, select the script from the Script dropdown.
A campaign-wide “default” script is automatically shown if a walk has no script assigned. Set this in Settings → Campaign → Default Script.
Surveys
Surveys are the questions your volunteer asks when someone answers the door. Responses are saved to that voter’s record and available in real-time on the dashboard.
Why surveys matter
Survey responses are the most valuable data you’ll collect. They tell you:
- Who is a confirmed supporter (prioritize for GOTV)
- Who is undecided (prioritize for persuasion)
- Who is opposed (remove from future contact)
- What issues voters care about most (sharpen your message)
Creating a survey
- Go to Dashboard → Surveys → New Survey
- Add questions. Question types:
- Yes/No — quick binary
- Rating (1–5) — support level scale
- Single choice — pick one from a list
- Multi-choice — pick multiple
- Short text — free-form note
- Mark required questions vs. optional
- Click Save
Assigning a survey to a walk
Select the survey from the Survey dropdown when creating or editing a walk.
Viewing survey results
Go to Dashboard → Walks → [walk name] → Results. You’ll see:
- Response breakdown by question (charts)
- Individual voter responses
- Support level distribution across the walk
Survey data also rolls up to the voter’s detail record — tap any voter name to see their full response history.
