New Email Center and Improved Navigation

OrgAction has recently been updated! The most exciting new feature is our email center which allows you to communicate with your volunteers and clients directly from the OrgAction website. Significant improvements have also been made to navigation and the look and feel of several pages. Look for more updates over the next week as I update our marketing materials with details of the changes.

With the email center you can send email to all active members, those in a particular group, specific people you select, or everyone who is registered for an event within a date range. Create professional emails with images and rich formatting. Member email preferences are respected by automatically including an unsubscribe link in all outbound messages.

Much of the new eye candy comes thanks to the Crystal Clear icon set!

September Update Complete

The recently announced enhancements to the OrgAction system are now live for all our clients! One of the biggest changes for members is that they will now be directed to the member information page with the events preselected. The goal is to reduce the number of screens and clicks needed to register and signup for an event.

This update also includes a relationship tracker for mentoring and many small tweaks to polish the interface. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for help making the most of these new features.

Interface Improvements for Event Registration

To make OrgAction a little bit prettier and even easier to use we have cleaned up the interface on the event registration page. Some unnecessary information is now hidden and the grid on the matrix has been cleaned up. Formerly, the decision to use either the matrix, or day, view was set at for the entire account. It can now be set at the individual event and, if an event only has one date, it will automatically show the single day view.
