Text Team Onboarding
Overview
Welcome to Team Gavin Newsom! We’re thrilled to have you join us in the fight to defeat Trump and elect Democrats everywhere. This guide will allow you to join our Text Team through a simple self-service onboarding process.
NOTE: We have two options to support you for onboarding and ongoing support while texting with our team. You can join our Discord community online or you can use email for support. We highly recommend Discord as the gold standard for receiving support, but email is always an option if you have difficulty with Discord.
If you’d prefer to join a Zoom training, find a day & time that works best for you and sign up today using the button below.
Option 1: Join Discord
- Join Discord.
- Watch the Text Team onboarding videos.
- Take the Text Team quiz.
Discord is a program that can be used through your web browser, but it’s best if you download the free app which is available for desktop computers, tablets, and smartphones. For desktop or laptop computers, visit discord.com/download. For mobile devices, search “Discord” in your devices’s app store.
If you haven’t used Discord before, you’ll need to register for a free account and create a username and password. Once your account is created, click the button below to join our “server.”
If you already have a Discord account, this button will directly add you to our server!

Take The Quiz
After joining Discord and completing the onboarding videos, it’s time to take the Text Team Quiz! This is a quick 12-question quiz to demonstrate your technical and program knowledge. Take your time with it. You can take it multiple times, you can refer back to the training videos, and you can — and should — refer to the Texter FAQ document while taking the quiz.
Hot tip! Make sure to use your first and last name when completing the quiz, and the same email address you used when you joined Discord. We need to be able to match your quiz submission to your Discord user account.
