Donation Management

salsa.donation.common

Salsa allows you to collect donations and payments online, tightly integrating donor history with your supporter list. Use this tab to create several different types of transaction-processing pages (note: paid event registration pages can be created in the Events section), and to search and report on donations and payments you've actually received.

Email Blast (Upgrade)

salsa.email.common

Salsa enables your organization to send professional-looking, targeted, personalized campaign alerts and newsletters to any subset of a list. The process is streamlined and user friendly: write, target, send. Use this tab to create new e-mail blasts (mass messages to your supporters), retrieve performance data on previous messages, and automate e-mail interaction with your supporters with auto-response acknowledgment messages you can add to action pages.

Events

salsa.event.common

Use the Events tab to create registration pages for all kinds of events. The regular "Events" tool builds one-off events (such as a conference or a webinar) for which you can offer either a free RSVP page or a paid registration page. The "Distributed Events" tool allows you to structure house parties, meetups, and other peer-to-peer organizing that lets your strongest supporters be your local ambassadors by building their own events.

The web tools package is the prerequisite for all Salsa Web features, and starts with Content Items and Signup pages as the default.
