Commons overview

What is Commons?

Commons is high-volume messaging infrastructure for political campaigns, public offices, agencies, and advocacy organizations. It brings broadcast messaging, peer-to-peer texting, and one-to-one conversations into a single platform.

Teams can create and schedule campaigns, manage audiences and sending queues, handle replies and conversation history, and track delivery, clicks, replies, and opt-outs. Commons also includes suppression management, permissions, activity records, registration workflows, and quiet-hour controls for organizations operating high-volume messaging programs.

Commons is designed for communications that require both scale and responsiveness. Campaigns can use it for fundraising, persuasion, voter education, mobilization, and event communication. Advocacy groups can coordinate supporter outreach, public offices can communicate with constituents, and agencies can manage multiple clients and use cases.
