Overview
Branched Scripts let canvassers choose different questions or talking points based on a person’s responses, helping conversations feel more natural and targeted.
Step 1: Prepare required items
Before creating a Branched Script, confirm you already have:
-
Activist Codes
-
Survey Questions
Step 2: Create a new Script
-
Start from the EveryAction Home page. In the left-hand menu, click Tracking & Codes > Scripts. Or use the Search for a page field and type Scripts.
-
Open the Scripts page.
-
Select Add New Script.
-
Enter the requested Script details.
-
Choose Branched as the Script type.
Step 3: Add all Script elements
Add elements the same way you would for a Linear Script:
-
Text
-
Survey Questions
-
Activist Codes
Tip: Add all elements first. You can reorder them later.
Step 4: Connect branches
-
Locate the branch icon next to a Script element.
-
Use the dropdown menu to select the number of the next element.
For Survey Questions and Activist Codes:
-
Branch icons appear next to each possible response
-
Each response can lead to a different element
Required: Every element must either branch to another element or select End before the Script can be saved.
Step 5: Save and use the Script
-
In MiniVAN, canvassers are guided automatically through the branches.
-
In Open Virtual Phone Bank, callers select the response they received and are prompted with the next message.
