The weWalk canvassing app is a simplified walk app used when you need the easiest method to get large groups of volunteers knocking on doors. It is accessed in Safari or Chrome mobile browsers at https://wewalk.app
Strengths:
- Easy for end users to access and use - minimal training
- Quickly mobilize large groups of new volunteers
- Can work offline without a data connection
Limitations:
- Users are tracked using a single "guest" account*
- Users must have a Packet ID to access a packet
- Only tag data and completion status are collected (no phone, email, or notes at this time)
*we will be adding an option that allows the campaign to specify if users must provide an individual identity
Operational Overview
- Campaign creates a walk project and splits houses into walk packets.
- Campaign creates a 3 word access code used by volunteers to access the campaign in the weWalk app. Example "flag star fly"
- Campaign distributes the app web address and pass phrase to the group of volunteer walkers.
- Walkers access the app in their web browser, enter the pass phrase, and enter a packet ID
- Walkers are presented with the packet details and a street list view. They can walk from the list view or a live map view and continue to work without a data connection. The app will continually monitor the data connection and push updates through when established.
