# Updating Activist Profiles

It’s important to update engagement assessments and take notes in Action Builder to keep track of where each campaigner is at. Notes should include concerns and schedule updates that may be relevant to canvassing participation. You should add notes for any recent outreach, upcoming vacation(s) or periods of time they will be unavailable, concerns around their experience, what they are looking for out of their participation, or any other notable responses that are worth logging for future reference.

## Updating Engagement Assessments

2. Be sure to check for any recent updates or notes before sending a message to see if anyone has logged anything important to know about this individual.&#x20;
   * You can find existing notes by clicking into an activist’s profile and either scrolling down to their activity feed at the bottom of the page.
   * If another organizer has reached out to this individual in the past week, hold off your outreach in order to avoid overwhelming them.

3. Reach out via the preferred mode of contact noted in their profile.
4. Log the outreach as a ‘Note’ so that other organizers can see that someone has been in touch and what was discussed, so we can avoid over-messaging.
   * To do this, you’ll click ‘+ Add Note’ at the top of the activity feed section of their profile.
