# EveryAction

How to set up and use the Daisychain / EveryAction integration to capture live submissions from EveryAction, NGP, and VAN Online Actions forms

When you integrate Daisychain with your EveryAction account, you can automatically import people into Daisychain when people submit EveryAction forms.

{% hint style="info" %}
**A note on names**\
This integration works with online action forms across the Bonterra family of products — EveryAction, NGPVAN, NGP, VAN, and VoteBuilder. If you can add a custom footer to your form in the form builder, the Daisychain integration will work with it, including forms hosted at `secure.ngpvan.com` or `secure.everyaction.com`. To import saved lists from VAN instead, see [NGPVAN](/help/integrations/ngpvan.md).
{% endhint %}

This works with Online Actions form types including:

* Signup forms
* Event forms
* Volunteer forms
* Petition forms
* Advocacy forms
* Donation forms

You can also trigger [automations](/help/organizing/automations.md) when any of these things happen, which makes it easy to engage and organize EveryAction supporters, RSVPs, and donors as needed.

## What data is captured

When someone submits a form, Daisychain captures their submission in real time and either matches them to an existing person in your account or creates a new one. The following fields are captured from the form:

* First name and last name
* Email address
* Mobile phone number
* City, state/province, ZIP/postal code, and country
* The form's name, type, and URL — so automations can target submissions from a specific form

Subscription status is handled as follows:

* People who submit a form with an email address are subscribed to email in Daisychain (unless they were already subscribed or opted out).
* People are subscribed to SMS only if they checked the SMS opt-in checkbox on the form.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Custom form fields are not captured**

Custom questions you add to a form (for example, a yard sign preference or t-shirt size) are not brought into Daisychain — only the standard contact fields listed above. Note that survey question data can flow in the other direction: answers to Daisychain [Questions](/help/managing-data/questions.md) can be synced to VAN as Survey Responses — see [Syncing Survey Questions](/help/integrations/ngpvan.md#syncing-survey-questions).
{% endhint %}

## Setting up the integration

To set up the EveryAction integration, visit **Settings > Integrations > EveryAction** in Daisychain. The page walks you through a four-step setup:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Copy your installation snippet

Copy the script tag Daisychain provides. Paste it exactly as-is — the `data-script-justification` attribute must remain so the script loads on your form.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add the snippet to a Theme

In EveryAction / VAN, open **Online Actions** and select the **Themes** tab. Open an existing Theme or create a new one, and click into the `<body>` Content area. Paste the snippet at the bottom of the `<body>` Content, immediately after the `{{EmbedForm}}` merge field. Then save and publish the Theme.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Apply the Theme to a form

Open the form you want Daisychain to ingest in Online Actions and go to the **Basics** page. In the **Form Theme** section, choose the Theme you just saved from the Published Themes dropdown, then save or publish the form.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Verify a form submission

Submit a test response on a form that uses the Theme. Daisychain will detect it automatically and complete the setup.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
