Pro includes 120 SMS/month
Automatic WhatsApp & SMS shift reminders
Included with the Pro plan: volunteers opt in for SMS on the public portal; the system sends one reminder before the shift. No technical setup required.
1 reminder = 1 SMS to 1 volunteer before 1 shift. Buy additional packs if you need more volume.
What counts as one reminder?
One automatic SMS, usually 24 hours before the shift. If SMS credits are exhausted, email is used when the volunteer provided an address.
