On this page we provide an overview of all the digital tools that our coordination team uses.

Training & support: Getting to know all of the tools that we use can be a bit overwhelming. That is why we like to schedule a video call so we can show you step by step how to use these tools. Don't hesitate to ask for help!

List of tools #

Slack #

Our most important platform to communicate is Slack. As a coordinator, you will be added to the closed channel #team-coordinators. You will be able to see all messages that coordinators have sent before.

Google Workspace #

The easiest way to get started with our Google Workspace is to add our account to your Google Chrome. To receive the login details for our account, reach out to one of your fellow coordinators. We use two-step verification, so another member will always have to verify your login (a password alone is not enough).

🔐 IMPORTANT SECURITY WARNING: Please, do not save passwords of your personal accounts while logged in with the Activist Handbook account. That means that all of us could see your private login details!

You are personally responsible for keeping your private data safe. Take that responsibility serious.

We use our paid Google Workspace plan for the following tools:

• Google Calendar: We save all our events and team meetings in our shared calendar. A weekly overview of all events is automatically be sent in Slack.
• Google Contacts: Anyone who has previously communicated with us via email or signed up via Mailchimp is automatically added to our contact list.
• Gmail: Our emails address [email protected] is managed using gmail.
• Chrome bookmarks: To help you find frequently used tools, we have added some useful links to our Chrome toolbar.
• Password manager: All our account credentials are saved in our digital keychain.
• Google Meet: For our video calls, we use Google Meet.

Pitch #

We use Pitch to create beautiful slide presentations. For example, our we use Pitch for our bi-weekly updates. You need to be added to our Pitch workspace before you can use it!

Mailchimp #

We use Mailchimp for our newsletter, signup pages and automated replies. This tool is especially useful for our communications coordinator.

Hootsuite #

We use Hootsuite to manage all our social media accounts more efficiently. This tool is especially useful for our communications coordinator.
