The Commitment App is a powerful engagement tool within CamBuildr that enables campaigns to visibly showcase their supporters. With this module, individuals can upload a photo and optionally leave a personal message or quote that will appear on a public-facing gallery. This makes the Commitment App ideal for creating testimonial walls, supporter mosaics, and other formats that give a face to your movement. Whether you’re organizing a political campaign, promoting a cause, or mobilizing a community, the app helps build trust and momentum by highlighting real people who stand behind you.

One of the key advantages is that the Commitment App isn’t limited to the App itself. It can also be integrated directly into your landing pages. For this purpose, there’s a dedicated feature called the “Commitment Teaser for Landing Pages,” which we’ll cover in a separate help article.

How to Use and Configure the Commitment App

Once you create a Commitment App, you’re taken to a dashboard that gives you a clear overview of how your page is performing. Here you can see how many visitors the page has received, how many people have signed up, and what the submitted content looks like. From this same screen, you can manage moderation and configure visual and behavioral settings across several tabs.

The “Created Content” tab lists all supporter entries — including names, messages, whether they’re pinned to the top, and when they were submitted. This is also where you can moderate each entry before it appears publicly, if moderation is turned on.

Under “Settings,” you decide how the page behaves. You can choose whether entries need to be reviewed manually (moderation) before being published. You can also opt to display posts in random order, hide last names for privacy, or require ZIP codes for regional targeting. The system also lets you automatically assign a tag to everyone who signs up via this app, making it easier to group and segment supporters later on. If the app is unpublished, you can define a redirect URL where users will be sent instead.

The “Form” tab lets you customize the texts participants see during the signup process. You can personalize the welcome message, define what’s shown above the photo upload or comment box, and adjust the confirmation message after submission. If needed, you can also link legal disclaimers or consent declarations that must be accepted during sign-up.

There’s also an “Eye-Catcher” section where you can insert a banner message with HTML formatting. This is a good place for attention-grabbing statements, promotional links, or calls-to-action that appear above the actual gallery. For example, you might encourage people to donate, sign a petition, or visit a partner page.

Finally, the “Automated Emails” tab allows you to define email messages that are triggered by user actions — such as signing up or getting approved. You can create follow-up emails to thank people, keep them informed, or invite them to take the next step in your campaign. Email performance (open rates, clicks, etc.) is tracked here too.

What the Supporter Wall Looks Like

The frontend of the Commitment App shows all approved participants as a visual wall of support. Each supporter’s profile picture appears alongside their name and optional message. Entries are cleanly arranged in tiles that can be pinned, randomized, or moderated depending on your settings. When logged in as a User you will also see posts which were not yet approved or blocked too. A message will clearly mark those. External users will not see these posts.

This interactive format turns passive visitors into active contributors, while giving your campaign a human face that’s hard to ignore.
