The Sign a Petition action type, much like a user registration, can be used to collect basic information from stakeholders in support of a petition effort. You can also use the Sign a Petition action to field a survey or collect other custom information from your database.

Starting with the “Let’s Dive Into the Basics” screen, be sure to set a time frame over which your form will be live, and add any tags that you’d like assigned to new stakeholders in the appropriate field.

The “A Few Additional Details” screen will confirm the form fields that will appear (to create/edit fields, see Creating/Editing Custom Fields and Creating/Editing Custom Forms). You can also change the text of the submit button and assign a point value to this action.

Once these settings are confirmed, you’re ready to publish this action and start collecting additional information on your stakeholders.

Note
Please note that Sign a Petition actions do NOT deliver any messaging or signatures to legislative or other targets. If you are looking to deliver messages from stakeholders to legislators or other action targets, see Action Type: Write Legislator/Person.
