Scripts specify the language that a canvasser or caller will see in miniVAN or a virtual phone bank while speaking to a voter, and defines what data is collected from that conversation.
Every canvass or phone bank needs a script.
When designing a script, there are two types of information that you should think about:
Message
Outbound information that you are giving to voters
Defined through the “Text” of a script
Data
Information that you are collecting from voters
Defined through the survey questions included in a script as well as canvass results
When we set up a new committee, we will give you a standard candidate or party support script. However, you should feel free to modify the script to your specific needs and volunteers.
To modify a script, go to your scripts page, select the script you would like to modify, then click “save as” in the upper right.
Rename the script and click save.
Change the text language, add or remove survey questions as you see fit to create the right script for what you are trying to do.
