ControlShift
What it is
ControlShift is a web and API platform for progressive organizations and campaigns. It supports distributed events, local groups, and member-led petitions. Supporters can create and host local events from organization templates, while staff review submissions, coach hosts, track activity, and measure results. Members can find nearby groups or organize new ones with mailing lists and directories. Organizations can approve group leaders and give them tools for communication, events, and campaigns. Supporters can launch local or national campaigns, recruit support, communicate, and organize tactics such as events and petition deliveries. Petition tools include distributed targets and templated content with organizational moderation and approval. ControlShift supports 15 languages, including Arabic and Hebrew. Integrations include CRMs, Segment, Facebook, Matomo, Google Analytics, Freshchat, Customer.io, Amazon Redshift, and SQL databases. APIs, webhooks, JSONP, and bulk data connect external systems. Pricing is on request.
