Action Builder is a web and API toolset for organizing and leadership development, described as built for organizers and campaigners in the progressive movement. It provides a central place to identify and develop leaders through assessments, while a wall chart brings activist names and information together. Quick Filter can produce activist lists or help organizers map worksites. Teams can assign outreach tasks with targets and timelines, then track campaign activity by user and time period. Organizations can import existing information and export data from the platform. Campaigns can sync with an Action Network group, and the maker offers API integration partnerships. The API is limited to four calls per second, and most API access requires an organization-specific key. Partners can request a read-only SQL mirror that updates continuously, typically with no more than a one-minute delay. Its documentation warns that the mirror contains sensitive information, including API keys, and recommends SSL connections and restricted credential access. Email support is available Monday through Saturday; responses are generally provided within an hour. Monthly online training and office hours with a Member Coordinator are also available. Volunteer leaders can use the free Activist user plan. Admin users pay 80.00 USD per month per user.
