Uploading & Removing Actions

Updated June 2026 · Content Management

Before you start: Create the action alert in CongressPlus first, then follow the steps below to publish it to the website.

Uploading an Action

From the left sidebar, go to Media > Library and upload the desired image. Add:
- Alt Text and Title (same as alt text)
- Description—"Photo by [Name]"
- Make sure image size meets minimum requirements
In the top menu, go to New > Action. Or in the left sidebar, go to Actions > Add Action.
Fill in the action fields:
- Action title
- Introductory paragraph from the action
- Action Alert ID (from CongressPlus)
- Action image from Media Library + photo credit (name only, no "Photo by")
In the right-hand column, select the Program Terms: One Parent Term and one Child (Campaign Term). There will be cases when more than one applies.
Click Publish.
