Every canvasser carries their own code. The resident scans it, joins on their own phone, and the yes is credited to the person who earned it. A conversation at the door becomes a subscriber for the rest of the cycle.
A canvasser knocks two hundred doors in a Saturday and keeps almost none of them. They have a real conversation on a porch, someone nods and says they'll vote, and then the walker writes a tally mark on a clipboard and that person is gone. The campaign spent a volunteer's weekend to produce a number.
A canvasser knocks two hundred doors in a Saturday and keeps almost none of them. A nod on a porch becomes a tally mark on a clipboard, and that person is gone. The door is the best opt-in source a campaign has and the one it wastes.
The walker never taps yes. A canvasser is staff, standing on a porch, looking over a shoulder. The resident scans, reads the exact language, and types their own number on their own phone. There is no screen in Txtra where a walker enters a stranger’s number, and there never will be.
The walker’s identity rides the link path, not a query string a carrier can strip. The opt-in writes with the source, the turf, the date, the words agreed to, and the walker as the hand. Open that subscriber six months later and the walker is still named.
Field QR, scanned at the county fair, October 12, by their own hand. That is an answer. A volunteer wrote it down is not. The receipt names both people. The hand is the walker. The consent is the resident’s.
Knocks count the scans. Subscribers count the people who joined. The gap between them is the only canvassing number that has ever mattered, and almost no campaign has ever looked at it.
A volunteer who knocked a door and a supporter who texted her sister did the same work through different doors. Doors, circle, links, hours, dollars raised, all feeding one number. The weights are set by the campaign, in the open, since a sign-up and a dollar don’t share a unit.
A campaign can publish a page thanking the volunteers who brought people in. First name, last initial, only for volunteers who agreed to appear. No turf, since a precinct tells a stranger where to find a volunteer on a Saturday. No breakdown, no rankings, and no supporter is ever named.
No turf drawing. No walk order. No routing map. Every field program already has a tool for that, and none of them are why a campaign would switch texting platforms. The voter file never enters the door flow. Consent is made at the door, not pulled from a file. Txtra owns the opt-in moment and everything after it, and that is enough. One honest note. The link, the receipt, the scan, and the leaderboard are built, and every door opt-in writes a real consent record with its source, its turf, and the walker who earned it. Live, the confirmation text goes out over the carrier, and that last mile is the carrier keys.
Left or right, Txtra is the sender your carriers trust and your lawyers approve.
They see it the way anyone sees a phone screen someone else is holding. The resident types their own number on their own device. The walker never enters it, and there is no screen in Txtra where they could.
Their code carries their identity in the link. The resident scans it, and the opt-in writes with the walker named as the hand. It shows on the new subscriber's record and on the leaderboard.
Yes, and it is a different page. First name and last initial, only for volunteers who agreed to appear, no turf, no conversion rates, and no supporter is ever named. The internal board stays behind the login.
