Updated

Advocacy Actions created in SoftEdge can be set to allow your Activists to customize the message.

There are two ways to let your Activists customize their message.

  1. The entire message of the Action can be edited
  2. A message field can be added to the Action which allows your Activists to add their comments to the message

1. The entire message of the Action can be edited

Click Message Settings in Step 2 of your Action

    Is it possible to create a default to "allow editing" rather than "preview only"

    Hi Barb,

    It is not possible to change the default setting from "Preview" to "Allow Editing". You can, however, always duplicate an existing action if you want to keep all the settings the same.
