Reminder calls (optional)
A call for the deadline you cannot miss
Some reminders deserve more than a text. With calls set up, Grantkeeper texts the reminder and then calls your own phone with the same words.
Text it like this
Fictional example.
Who it calls
Only you, at the phone number your Grantkeeper chat already uses. It cannot call a number written into a request, and it never calls donors, volunteers or anyone else. Calls work for owners who text Grantkeeper in iMessage.
Limits that keep it calm
Each call is confirmed with a one-time code before it is placed. Calls happen only during your call hours, 8 AM to 8 PM by default, and at most three a day unless we agree on a different number. The text always goes out first, so if a call does not connect, the reminder is still on your phone.
Calls need a calling number, which has its own cost. We agree on that with you before turning it on.
Good uses
The county report due at noon, the morning a grant portal closes, the day a building inspector is coming, or the last day to renew a registration. Pick the two or three dates a year that would really hurt to miss, and leave everything else as texts.
Most reminders are fine as texts. Save calls for the two or three dates a year that really cannot slip.
Set it up once
For a reminder you cannot miss, Grantkeeper can text you and then call your phone and read it out, within hours you set.
- Turn on Schedules and tell us you want calls.
- We connect a calling number with you.
- Ask for "text then call" on the reminders that matter.
