3. DESCRIPTION OF CAPYBARA

 

Capybara is a contact harvesting tool that enables Users to share select email contacts from their address book with the campaign / the partner organizations through its webpage. Capybara can be integrated in the form of a button on a web page. When the User clicks on the button, they are invited to sign into their email provider of choice which includes Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo and iCloud. On signing in, they see their entire contact list and can check the box next to the name of the contact with whom they want to share information about a campaign/cause. The chosen contacts receive an email inviting them to take action. The tool’s core appeal is empowering campaigns / the partner organizations to share their messages more effectively as Users (or “supporters”) can handpick the people from their most trusted circles to notify about causes and invite them to participate.
