We’re excited to announce that email outreach is now live in Daisychain! That's right -- Daisychain is now multi-channel.
This means you can add an email step from within Automations to follow up with supporters, send reminders, or keep volunteers in the loop – all directly within your existing workflows.
Your team can use email alongside text messages to follow up with supporters, send reminders, or keep volunteers in the loop – all directly within your existing workflows. For now, email is available as an automation step, but we plan to add broadcast campaigns soon.
Check out a quick video preview:
Why this matters
Texting is great, but sometimes email has advantages: it handles longer messages, has room for images and links, and helps you avoid texting fatigue. And for supporters who expect being contacted through multiple channels, email adds flexibility to your outreach streams without complicating your tools.
Our goal is to keep things simple: use the data you already have, personalize each message, and reach people where they are.
What you can do right now (Email Phase 1)
- Add one or more “email” steps into any existing or new automation
- Use variables to personalize content
- Combine SMS and email in the same automation
- Set up unique sender identities using your own domain
- Create email templates (AKA “wrappers”) for your HTML emails
You’ll find the new email step in the automation builder!
What’s next (Email Phase 2)
Phase 2 will bring broadcast email to Daisychain, so you can send email blasts to large audiences just like you can with SMS today.
If you want to be part of that beta or get a walkthrough of the new email features, you can book a time to chat.
