This has been much in demand and discussed in the FAQ, and we've heard various promises about its implementation.

An API to push external signups to would be essential to us. Given how keen NationBuilder has been to have everything filed as an official feature request, here you go! :-)

Ladies and Gentlemen, please vote...

I believe it would be very useful to have a block-style calendar for displaying events. Something like this would be ideal and easy to stylize: 

(If you agree that this feature would be useful, Post your comment below)

We'd love  a feature where someone can plug in their zip code and send a form or custom letter to their local legislators.

One great tool NationBuilder lacks (and could easily add) is a customizable (for each list) script for the Call Mode contact tool.

For organizations trying to transfer their databases over to NationBuilder from other platforms this would be a very useful tool. Many databases have extra note fields that organizations populate with important info. When it comes time to move to NationBuilder there is nowhere to put this info other than the background note field, which is usually the first to go. For additional notes you are out of luck.

Being able to import note columns as a new private note would eliminate this issue, and since private notes are unlimited in NB you could import as many different note fields as you'd like.

deally we would like the option where it is a button on the first donate page -- like this one -- you see you can just click the button then do monthly/quarterly/yearly:

Email is still the killer app for advocacy, election campaigns, and fundraising. NB needs to incorporate a way for groups who have enough people in their nation to give them statistically significant results to test different variables in their emails. NB needs to implement A/B testing for subject lines at the very least. It's becoming more and more frustrating to use NB at a high level and to leave something on the table because I'm just going with my gut, rather than being able to test various options. 

The experience of the Obama campaign certainly shows that often the gut picks of seasoned campaigners performed worse than other options. I'd like to avoid that trap and maximize the impact of the people in my nation.

(couldn't find a similar suggestion, so here goes...)
on the cms side, our clients would benefit greatly from a content import tool. the legacy import is nice, but really doesn't result in pages that are of much use. there was some testing of a wordpress blog > nationbuilder blog tool last year, so we're hoping something is still in the works.

clients that come to us w/ scores of pages (or more) are always surprised to learnt that the migration from another cms to NB will be mostly manual. even a simple tool that just pulled titles and content and target content type from a cvs file would be a massive time saver. 

If I click on the email button for a user, to send them a personal email, there's a drop-down box to choose which broadcaster is going to send the email to them.  This dropdown selection currently defaults to whichever broadcaster is first alphabetically.  It should default to whichever broadcaster you used to send the last email you sent.  Most often, users will want to send a number of emails in a row using the same broadcaster and this would save them a lot of clicks.

For some of us, we have a large list of people in our voter database (150,000+). To add all of them to the shopping cart and then to remove certain tags from them is time-consuming (on our end) and resource-consuming (on your end). It takes forever if it works at all frankly.

Better would be an additional search field under Tags where we can list tags to exclude from the search.

I would be helpful to have a few fields that nation-admins could customize. There are some specific actions/roles I'd like users to be able to opt-in to (like yard signs, hosting a coffee, offering to publicly support a campaign) on a single form.

Right now, I don't see how I could do that without embedding a Google form and then periodically importing records with the fields as tags. I lose a lot of other functionality though if I have to do that.

Navigating between pages time consuming and we don't really have a single-shot view of the nation's layout. This can get confusing on larger sites where the user may not always remember where subpages are located. Having a resource tree on the left side of the page for the site layout would speed editing greatly and make editing the site structure a less daunting task.

When people are commenting on Facebook posts, I can have them tagged automatically as defined in the Broadcaster settings. But if they just 'like' a post, there's no way of auto-tagging them, which would be really useful in order to easily show which broadcaster they've connected to. 

There also doesn't seem to be a way to advanced-search for people who 'liked' a certain broadcaster's post on Facebook.

Also, as mentioned earlier, it would make sense if people who like Facebook posts would be recognised at least as prospects, not as 'non-supporters'.

Hmm, three feature requests in one here... :-)

A feature that's surprisingly missing is the ability to specify specific/custom fields of information for forms like the Volunteer form, and the ability to configure which fields are required and the labels/text associated with each field.

Connect to LinkedIn and provide tracking and posting capalities for LinkedIn connections.

Having the ability to sign up donors for automatic monthly, quarterly, seme-anual, and anual contributions is critical for organizations that depend on donations to operate and succeed. 

The request is to add an additional options to the signup form that lets the person tag themselves with checkboxes. 

If you only want them to be able to specify one classification/tag, you can already do this with the Signup page type. This request is to add multiple.

so that users can rank choices and the system would tally them.

It would be good to be able to display a list of press releases, like a blog entry list. Without this, I'm not sure what the point is of having a press release page type...?
