ControlShift

ControlShift is a toolset used to put people at the center of campaigns through distributed events, local groups, and member-led petitions.

You can use Daisychain to create a high-touch organizing workflow to support ControlShift petition-creators. When you integrate Daisychain and ControlShift, a few things happen:

• When new petitions created on ControlShift, a new card will be created on a dedicated Daisychain Pathway that has a special "power-up."
  ​
  ​

• Card representing petitions will have a power-up containing:

  • Petition name

  • Link to the petition on ControlShift

  • Current signature count

  • Moderation status

     

• If a petition has a "Mentor" in ControlShift, there will be an attempt to sync it with an Assignment in Daisychain, and vice-versa.

Here's how to setup the integration between Daisychain and ControlShift:

1. In ControlShift, navigate to Settings > Integrations > REST API Apps
   ​
   ​

2. Give your application a name (like "Daisychain") and a Redirect URI (use "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob"), and hit the "Add" button.
   ​
   ​

3. In a new browser tab, go to your Daisychain account. Navigate to Settings > Integrations > ControlShift (Add). You'll see you need to enter in a few items on this page:
   ​
   ​

   1. Hostname (the base URL for your ControlShift account)
      ​
      ​

   2. REST API Application ID (Copy and paste this from the REST application page you have open in your browser)
      ​
      ​

   3. REST API Application Secret (Copy and paste this from the REST application page you have open in your browser)
      ​
      ​

4. Click "Save" to activate the integration.
   ​
   ​

5. Now go to the Pathways section in Dasiychain and scroll down to Pathway Templates. Create a Pathway using the "ControlShift Petitions" template. A few things to know about your new Pathway:
   ​
   ​

   1. It has a set of default stages that you're welcome to edit.
      ​
      ​

   2. It comes with the "ControlShift Power-Up" activated, which enables it to display ControlShift integration.
      ​
      ​

   3. It automatically creates an Automation, which you can edit in Step 5.
      ​
      ​
      ​

6. Go to Settings > Automations and review/edit the new automation that was just created.

That's it! We know there's a lot of steps here, and are standing by if we can help you setup this integration.
