AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Action Network is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Events category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 2 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Action Network works
Show full descriptionShow less
A free WordPress plugin for the Action Network online organizing tools maintained by Concerted Action.
Features:
Create a WordPress shortcode or widget from any Action Network embed code.
Manage your saved embed codes using the WordPress backend. Supports sorting by title, type and last modified date, and provides a search function.
Modify Action Network’s default “thank you for your support” and “help us by using sharing tools” messages, and control which sharing options (social, email & embed codes) are displayed, using shortcode options or widget controls.
Use [actionnetwork_list] shortcode or Action Network List widget to show a list of current actions.
Use [actionnetwork_calendar] shortcode or Action Network Calendar widget to show a list of upcoming events. Optionally outputs upcoming events in JSON. Development of this feature was supported by The People’s Lobby – if you like it, please consider making a donation to them.
If you are an Action Network Partner, use your API key to sync all of your actions from Action Network to WordPress.
Create signup widgets which allow visitors to your site to sign up for your email list without using Action Network javascript embeds. This allows you to place a signup form on every page (for example in the sidebar), and still load Action Network embed codes for actions on particular pages (since Action Network’s scripts will only load one embed code per page). This feature does require the API key, so you have to be an Action Network Partner to use it.
Detailed specs for shortcode attributes, widget options, etc. are available on the Help menu for the Action Network page on the backend.
