Guides for campaigns running on ElectbaseAll help articles
Plain-English guides to the things campaigns actually get stuck on — connecting your donation processor, moving your domain and email, forms and texting consent, and getting found in search. Still deciding whether Electbase fits your race? That's the FAQ. Can't find an answer? Contact us.
Building your site
Your brand, voice and logo tools
A brand guide that can't go stale, a voice guide that shapes your copy, and palette and logo concepts — including what the logo review does and doesn't cover.
Building your site
Building and publishing your site
Editing is private, publishing is the commitment — the pages each plan produces and the checks that run before anything goes live.
Fundraising
Which donation processor is right for your race?
How to pick a donation processor for your campaign — ActBlue, Anedot, Donorbox, Raise the Money, and Numero compared by fees, embeds, and who they serve.
Committee & compliance
Getting cleared to publish: your committee and your disclaimer
Why publishing is gated, the two ways to confirm your committee, and what Electbase does and doesn't check about your disclaimer.
Fundraising
Connecting ActBlue to your Electbase site
Who can embed ActBlue forms, where your hosted form link lives, and how to sync donation data back to your supporter list automatically.
Fundraising
Connecting Anedot or Donorbox to your Electbase site
Embed codes, hosted pages, webhooks, and the honest trade-offs between Anedot and Donorbox.
Domains & email
Your campaign's domain and email, explained
Connect a custom domain, keep your email working, and set up SPF, DKIM, and DMARC before your first blast — all in plain English.
Forms & supporters
Asking your own questions on your forms
Four question types, up to 12 per form, supporter filtering, and how answers reach your CSV export.
Forms & supporters
Events and RSVPs
Events on your site, RSVPs with guest counts, an email on every signup, and the CSV you take to the check-in table.
Getting found
Getting your site found on Google (and Bing)
Electbase pings Bing and Yandex automatically on every publish. Google takes one manual, five-minute step in Search Console.
Analytics & tracking
Google Tag Manager on your Electbase site — your responsibilities
The GTM container and its Google terms are yours — the PII and consent obligations your campaign must meet.
Your account
Plans, billing, and what happens after the election
Free until you publish, plan changes, and the post-election option most campaigns miss — hibernate keeps the site up while the tools go quiet.
Forms & supporters
Hearing about requests as they come in
Who gets the email, what's in it, and where every submission lives once it arrives.
Texting & consent
Collecting phone numbers the right way (texting consent & 10DLC)
Why the texting-consent checkbox is unchecked and optional, what the disclosure text means, and what 10DLC registration asks for.
Committee & compliance
Tracking money in and out
Expenses, receipts and hand-entered contributions — a visibility tool with a CSV exit ramp, not books of record.
Building your site
Going back to an earlier version
Every publish kept permanently, autosaves for a while — and restoring is itself undoable and never publishes on its own.
