Switchboard

Switchboard is a digital platform designed for Democratic and progressive political campaigns, consolidating the tools needed for fundraising, voter outreach, and supporter engagement into a single system. It solves the problem of campaigns having to juggle separate, disconnected tools for texting, email, forms, and donation processing, which can lead to fragmented data and inefficient workflows.

The platform includes modules for bulk SMS and MMS texting with time-zone scheduling, an email builder with a drag-and-drop editor, customizable forms for surveys and data collection, and branded donation forms that accept credit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and PayPal. Its Audience Builder creates dynamic, targeted segments by pulling data from integrations with ActBlue, NGPVAN/EveryAction, and the platform’s own engagement metrics. Additional capabilities include short link tracking, a Meta Ads integration, and an API and SQL mirror for advanced data analysis. The Switchboard Collective feature allows organizations to build audiences using aggregated, opted-in data from other participating groups at no extra cost.

The product is built for campaigns at any level, from local to federal, as well as progressive organizations. Texting is priced on a pay-as-you-go basis per message for toll-free, 10DLC, and short code channels, with no setup fees, contracts, or minimums, and no charges for inbound or error messages. Email is offered free through 2026.
