What can Engage do?

Targeted Emails 🎯

Go beyond your campaigns and filter all your contacts, ticket holders, and supporters by their giving history, campaign activity, location, and more to create highly targeted lists.

Direct Mail πŸ’Œ

Create personalized direct mail campaigns without leaving your Givebutter dashboard. Add custom branding, merge fields/dynamic variables, QR codes, and more!

Keep your campaign supporters in the loop by sending email updates, as well as posting and pinning updates to your campaign’s supporter feed.

Email Editor πŸ“

Say goodbye to complicated email editors. We've streamlined the process by taking everything you love about our campaign story editor and creating our easy-to-use email editor.

Set your logo, brand color, and custom domain, then start sending on-brand emails from your own email address.

Message ROI πŸ’›

See the direct impact of your messages by tracking statistics like opens, bounces, and click-through rates to optimize your messages further.

Contacts Integration πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦β€πŸ‘¦

Right inside your Givebutter dashboard, you can track all of your contacts and each contact’s message engagement.

Using the same targeted lists you create for email, you can engage with your supporters by sending SMS text messages.
