Using Campaign Advisor
How campaign organizations use the Campaign Advisor chat and recommendations to guide strategy and outreach.
Campaign Advisor puts your supporter data to work. It has two parts: a Chat where you ask questions about your campaign, and a Recommendations feed that surfaces suggested next actions on your contacts automatically. Both are available to campaign-shape organizations on a plan that includes the Campaign Advisor capability.
Chat
Open Advisor in your workspace sidebar to reach the chat. Ask the advisor questions about your campaign strategy, supporters, or content. For example, "How many donors have not given in over a year?" or "Which engaged supporters have never attended an event?"
The advisor looks up live data to answer: it can search contacts, pull donation totals, summarize a segment, list upcoming events, and pull in your active recommendations, all from your actual workspace records.
Your conversation is saved per user per organization, so previous messages are there when you return.
The conversation, summary statistics about your workspace, and — when the question calls for it — individual records you already have permission to view are sent to the language-processing provider that generates the answer. The provider does not use any of it to train its models. The How your data is used link under the message box opens the full privacy policy.
Campaign Advisor is an AI assistant, and a line under the message box says so. It can be wrong, so check anything important, such as a figure, a date or a legal requirement, before you act on it.
In-tool Advisor
The Advisor is also available as a side panel you can open from the top right of your workspace on any page, so it is always in the same place. On a wide screen it opens as a column beside your work and the page reflows to make room; on a narrower screen it opens over the page instead. Its header names what the conversation is scoped to. Inside a tool it reads what you are working on: open it while building an email campaign and it can advise on your subject line, audience, and content; open it on your email analytics and it can interpret your deliverability and engagement rates. It draws on the same live data and guidance as the full Chat, scoped to your access, and keeps a separate thread per tool.
The in-tool Advisor is gated by plan entitlement and permission. If your plan or role does not include it, the Advisor button does not appear.
Recommendations
Open Recommendations in your workspace sidebar to see your feed, a ranked list of suggested actions generated from your contact data. Each recommendation includes a title, a short explanation, and a link to start the action (typically an email campaign pre-targeted to the relevant contacts).
The recommendations engine runs nightly and updates your feed automatically. Recommendations span several domains:
- Fundraising: lapsed donors who have not given in over a year, and one-time donors still in the conversion window for recurring giving.
- Retention: engaged supporters who have gone quiet for 45 or more days.
- Events: engaged contacts who have never attended a campaign event.
- Volunteer: engaged supporters who have never recorded a volunteer shift.
Recommendations are ranked by priority. You can act on one (opens the pre-filled action), snooze it for seven days, or dismiss it if it does not apply.
Owners and admins can see the feed and act on, snooze or dismiss recommendations. So can anyone whose role includes View recommendations and insights, which an owner or admin adds to a custom role under Analytics in the role editor. A snooze or a dismissal applies to everyone in your workspace, not only to you, so a recommendation you dismiss disappears from everyone's feed.
How the two parts connect
The chat can pull your active recommendations into the conversation. Ask the advisor follow-up questions about a specific cohort (size, composition, history) before you decide how to act, then use the recommendation's link to launch the outreach.
Availability
Campaign Advisor is available only in campaign-shape workspaces. Organizations of other types will not see the Advisor sections in their sidebar. The Chat and Recommendations feed are each gated by plan entitlement and can be unlocked separately.
Each person can ask the Advisor a set number of questions an hour and a day. If you reach that limit, the Advisor says so and keeps your question in the message box, so you can send it again later. The limit is shared with the Advisor panel.
Why this matters
Effective campaigns run on timely decisions: who to call next, which donors are drifting, which volunteers have never been activated. Campaign Advisor surfaces those answers from your own data without requiring a data team or manual list pulls. You spend less time searching and more time acting. Over time, following through on recommendations keeps your supporter relationships warm, your donation pipeline moving, and your volunteer bench engaged, so your campaign is ready when it counts.
