State & National Hotlines

Does your provider not dispatch callback requests according to your on-call schedules? Do they send calls to the wrong agency, or to advocates that aren’t on-call? Do they give advocates enough time to answer?

A good hotline management system is one that you don’t notice.

Robust Scheduling

Volunteers see the most up-to-date schedule and request open shifts in preferred language. Administrators approve or deny shift requests, instantly updating the call-routing system and sending confirmation emails with email invites and reminders.
  1. Admin staff can make any change to the shift schedule
  2. Volunteers can request shift changes that have to be approved by your admin staff.

All this can be done in bulk, with just a few clicks.

Chat & Text

Features of Chat: Sequential notifications, Delivery & read receipts, waiting rooms, quick exit

We worked with 24h hotlines across the country to build a fully-featured & user-friendly chat application for you

Your on call teams will be notified of new chats/texts via text message, and clients can exit the chat quickly to a safe website with the click of a button button.

We’ve made it incredibly easy to integrate chat & text into your hotline so that your community has more options to get the help they need.
