9/5/21 - Refreshed volunteer experience (mobile app)
Updated over a week ago

Overview

With Impactive's refreshed volunteer experience, volunteering on the mobile app is now more seamless than ever before! Review this guide to understand what's new and improved on the app.

Action tab

Work on one campaign at a time

Volunteers will now work on a single campaign at a time by choosing an active campaign. This new orientation helps volunteers organize their campaign activities in a clearer way.

To access, simply toggle the campaign icon at the top of the action screen and select the active campaign of your choice.

Once selected, every page in the app will be campaign specific. This means functionality including the inbox, leaderboards, and the reports feature will be configured to the active campaign.

Inbox tab

Quickly prioritize conversations with our redesigned mobile inbox.

Archive messages

Declutter and mute message threads by archiving messages in the inbox.

To archive a message, simply swipe left on a message thread and toggle the πŸ“₯ icon.

Archived messages are removed from the inbox and stored in an "Archive" folder.

To unarchive a conversation, simply navigate to the "Archive" folder, and similarly, swipe left on a message thread and toggle the πŸ“₯ icon.

And don't worry, if you get a new message in an archived thread, the thread will automatically move back into your inbox.

Leaderboards and teams are locked for one campaign at a time
