Every conversation is a chance to spark change. At Ecanvasser, we help you turn everyday interactions into real stories that resonate—stories that go beyond a single campaign. Whether you're rallying supporters for a political cause or engaging customers for a brand, our platform makes it easy to capture genuine moments. With smart custom fields that tag locations, secure consent, and link every story to its source, you can build a narrative that connects communities and drives impact. Learn how every conversation can make a difference, and see exactly how you can do it.

Capture moments with attachment fields

Attachment custom field type

When you're out in the field, every conversation is an opportunity to capture a real moment. With our attachment fields, you can quickly snap a photo or record a short video as you engage with supporters. But we know that capturing these moments must be done respectfully and transparently. That's why our process includes clear consent and secure e-signature settings.

Right when you capture a moment, our system displays a straightforward consent form. This form explains what data is being collected and how it will be used, so each person knows exactly what they're agreeing to. This clear, opt-in approach ensures that every contribution is made with full awareness and permission.

If a digital signature is needed, our built-in e-signature feature steps in. It lets individuals sign digitally to confirm their consent. The process is simple and secure—just a tap or swipe—and it verifies that their permission is genuine without ever feeling intrusive.

Every attachment is then automatically tagged with its location and linked to the person who shared it, keeping your data organized and connected to the real-life moment it represents. And remember, attachment fields are just one type of custom field available to capture the full details of your outreach. For a complete list of available field types, please check our support docs.

Connecting offline conversations to digital campaigns

Once you’ve captured authentic content in the field, the next step is to bring it into your digital strategy—always ensuring you respect and highlight the consent behind every piece of media. Start by curating your best testimonials, photos, and videos, all of which have been collected with clear, informed consent and verified by a simple e-signature process.

Each media item is tagged with its location, allowing you to target specific communities within a larger geographic area. This means you can tailor your digital content so it truly resonates with local audiences. When you share these moments on social media, your website, or in email campaigns, be sure to include context about the interaction—explain the background and why it matters. This not only enriches your narrative but also reinforces that every contribution was made with full permission.

By integrating these authentic experiences into your digital plan, you build a compelling and ethical story that connects deeply with your audience while upholding the trust and respect of every individual involved.

Why it matters

Using Ecanvasser's custom fields delivers real benefits for your outreach:

Efficient Data Collection
Our mobile canvassing app makes gathering information fast and effortless. Instead of spending hours on manual data entry, every attachment is automatically tagged with its location and linked to the right contact. The app handles the entire data collection process, from capturing images and videos to organizing everything in one place. This means you can focus more on connecting with people and less on paperwork

Built on Trust
Every piece of content is collected only after clear consent is given. The e-signature and consent measures ensure that nothing is saved until you have proper approval. An audit trail keeps a record of all interactions, providing transparency and accountability. This careful process builds trust with your audience because they know their information is treated with respect and integrity

Authentic Stories
Real photos and videos capture the genuine moments of your outreach. When these moments are shared, they tell true stories that resonate with people. Authentic content like this builds a deeper connection with your audience and encourages them to engage with your message

Actionable Insights
Each attachment comes with detailed information about its source and location. This helps you understand where your support is coming from and how your outreach is performing. With these clear insights, you can make informed decisions to refine your strategy over time

In short, Ecanvasser's custom fields streamline the entire process of capturing and organizing real moments while upholding ethical standards. This efficient and transparent approach saves time, builds trust, and creates powerful stories that connect with your audience

What types of custom fields does Ecanvasser support?

Ecanvasser offers a range of custom fields to help you collect information in many different ways. You can capture written responses with a text field or record numerical data with a number field. For yes or no answers, there is a True/False field. If you need to let users choose from several options, you can use a Multiple Choice field where only one option is selected, or a Checklist field that allows more than one choice. You can also gather feedback using a Star Rating field that lets users rate from 1 to 5 stars. Finally, if you want to capture images, videos, audio recordings, documents, or other files, the Attachment field has you covered.

How do consent and e-signature work?

Before any media is saved, our system prompts for clear consent. Users review a simple consent form and, if they agree, sign digitally through our secure e-signature feature. This process ensures that every piece of content is captured ethically and that there’s a full audit trail for complete transparency.

How can I use captured media in my digital campaigns?

Once you’ve gathered authentic content in the field, you can easily share these real moments across social media, your website, or email campaigns. The media is already organized, and you can add context to each piece so that your digital stories connect with your audience on a personal level.

What are the overall benefits of using Ecanvasser’s custom fields?

By streamlining data collection on a mobile platform, Ecanvasser saves you time and reduces manual work. Every interaction is captured with clear consent and secured with e-signatures, building trust with your supporters. With automated location tagging and easy organization, you gain valuable insights that help you refine your outreach and create campaigns that truly resonate.
