Extension summary

TurboVPB speeds up calling and texting with EveryAction's Open Virtual Phone Bank (OpenVPB), VAN, DNC VoteBuilder, and BlueVote.

Skip typing in phone numbers by hand. TurboVPB automatically sends contacts' details to your phone so you can call and text with just 2 clicks.

You'll be ready to call in <2 minutes — no account or mobile app needed.

In addition to speeding up making calls, TurboVPB makes it easy to send text messages to contacts when they don't answer the phone or when you want to send them more information after a call. Configure one or more message templates, TurboVPB will automatically fill in the contact's name, and you can send each message with the push of a button.

TurboVPB was originally developed by a volunteer for the Sunrise Movement but any volunteers, organizations, or campaigns phone banking with these tools are very welcome to use it.

I love it. I agree with all the rave reviews. So easy to get started with the QR code. It keeps track of how many calls I made. I even enjoy the confetti every 10 calls. And I especially LOVE the text feature. If a voicemail box is not set up or full, bingo, off goes the text. We can prepare the text with our full message, including the candidate's website or other information we would normally have to spell out for the voter. Sometimes we get a call or text back! Rarely do they say STOP if you write a personalized text that sounds like a message from a real person. And we do not make misdials by hitting the wrong numbers on a phone keypad. I would ask for a couple more features. Can it be enhanced to work when there is more than one person in the household, especially so all people at the number can be marked as left message or not home, if that's the case? Can it be enhanced to handled alternate numbers if the phone bank gives you other numbers when the first one doesn't work? Without these two features, we have to mark the call using our computer. Also, I have a few volunteers who love technology. They make many more calls now that I showed them TurboVPB!
