Propose new functionalities for Decidim software
#DecidimRoadmap Designing Decidim together
A critical point for administrations when launching a participatory process (or a Decidim instance altogether) is to acquire participants. It requires an extra effort for the communication (financial and otherwise) from the administration.
It could be eased with the ability to invite willing participants in bulk. Prospects and clients regularly ask us this feature.
Obviously the main obstacle to such a feature is GDPR and collecting the consent pre-invitation.
To address it, we could emulate what is done by email delivery services when importing contacts for a campaign. You have to certify that you are following GDPR rules. We attached a screenshot of what Mailjet does.
We could also add some other checks.
For instance your import file must include the date you got the consent for each user, what was used to collect the consent (paper, url from online surveys, etc.). Include an opt-out to the email invitation and so on, so that inviting participant isn't too straightforward.

Sorry about that it's an oversight. To upload your contacts file you have to check a checkbox first with the following text :
"I certify that :
- I obtained from all my contacts the free and specific consent to send them messages.
- None of my contacts have been acquired through third-party mailing lists.
- I will include an unsubscribe link in any marketing campaign.
- I will send with Mailjet only legal and legitimate information.
- I have read the Mailjet mailing policy and I pledge to respect it."
