Our team at Daisychain could fairly be described as “organizing nerds.” 🤓
We’re sincerely passionate about solving problems at the intersection of data, tech, and volunteering. And with 56 days until the US election, many of our clients are entering peak volunteering season – which means it’s our favorite (and busiest) time of the year.
Below, we’ll showcase ways campaigns and organizations are using Daisychain to boost their organizing and field operations in the home stretch.

💬 1) Send text messages to Mobilize RSVPs
Sometimes you need to send out a personal message to your event RSVPs – maybe you want to let your attendees know about a last-minute venue change, or need to send out an updated Zoom link to access your webinar.
In Mobilize, you can easily send your RSVPs an email – which is helpful, but we all know that lots of emails go unread. With Daisychain, you can send personalized text messages to your Mobilize attendees with just a few clicks – and your RSVPs can text back. Maybe you want to just send RSVPs a reminder or follow-up message with a personal touch, or send a question out that people can respond to.
⏩ 2) Follow up quickly with new volunteers
Good organizers often talk about the importance of following up with new volunteers within 24 hours – and research from the world of sales indicates that following up within an hour is 7X more effective than waiting even two hours.
Daisychain helps organizations execute quick, personalized follow-up without breaking a sweat. You can use Automations to follow up with people who've shown interest – anyone who fills out your volunteer form is a great place to start, but quick follow-up with donors and new event attendees is a good idea too.
📆 3) Send optimized event recruitment messages
When you integrate your Mobilize account with Daisychain, you can send out super-charged texting campaigns optimized to recruit more event attendees. Here’s how it works:
- When you create your campaign, just pick the Mobilize event you want to recruit for.
- Send out your text campaign, Daisychain will send each recipient a “Magic Link” that pre-fills the form on the Mobilize landing page.
- People land on the page and RSVP with a single tap/click.
Without needing to fill out a form, conversion rates increase and you can fill more volunteer shifts!
🤝 4) Automate organizer assignments
One perennial problem faced by larger campaigns and organizations is how to make sure new signups are assigned to the right organizer – most often based on geographic area or “turf.” With Daisychain, it’s simple to build automations that assign incoming volunteers to the right organizer – or even round-robin assignments to enable a team to share the load.
✅ 5) Record Mobilize RSVPs without leaving your inbox
Here’s a common challenge lots of organizers are familiar with: you’re texting with a volunteer who tells you they can come to an upcoming event. If you want to sign them up, you can send them a link to an event page – which they might not fill out. Or, you can RSVP on their behalf, which requires time-consuming and copying and pasting.
Enter Daisychain: if someone tells you they can come to an event, you can RSVP them with two quick clicks.
