Conservation Voters New Mexico emailed each member a personalized score card, listing the person's own state rep & senator, and how they scored on pro-environment votes this session.  (See attached file for a screen shot of the message.)

How they did it:

  • First enter scorecard info into your Target records (Alert > Targets), in the Note field.
  • Set up an action alert, and remove the Take Action button/link from the email message.  Also leave it unpublished on your action site - that way you are only using the email component. 
  • In the Activist Message, use the merge field Target Scorecard to merge in the Targets' name, district, phone number, and score.
  • In Targets, select which Targets (e.g. Your State Rep, Your State Senator) will be included in the merge.
