Keep Donor Records and Program Questions in Separate Workflows

For nonprofit support, configure HeroDash ticket categories for donor questions, volunteer inquiries, and program information. Add the relevant campaign or program reference so staff can identify what the caller is asking about without collecting an unnecessary personal history.

Use the category and program fields to route the ticket to the configured support group. A receipt request needs a different next step from a volunteer asking about orientation or a participant asking which application documents to bring.

Configured triggers can tag a request and notify the assigned agent when its status changes. Keep the record focused on the request, the information shared, and the staff member responsible for follow-up. Donation, eligibility, and volunteer-placement decisions remain with your organization.

what comes off the call

What to Record for the Responsible Team

Agree these details with your team before coverage begins so the next person can act on the request.

  • Donor, volunteer, or program participant
  • Relevant program, campaign, or donation reference
  • Callback details and preferred language
  • Published eligibility and application information the team may share
  • Receipt or record-verification procedure
  • Staff contact for sensitive questions or exceptions

questions

What buyers ask before they sign.

How much does it cost?

AI voice is US$0.15 per minute and web chat is US$0.15 per session. Live agents start at US$650 per month including 1,500 minutes — about US$0.43 per minute — or from US$5.80 per hour for a dedicated agent working only your account. The minimum engagement is half a seat, not a five-seat block.

How fast can you start answering our phones?

Five days is our normal window to staff a live account — that is five days to find and place an agent who fits your business, not five days of software setup. AI voice can go live sooner because there is no hiring step.

Do you answer in Spanish?

Yes, on the same number, with agents in our Bolivia and Nicaragua operation centres — native Spanish, not machine translation. English and Spanish share one queue, and we cover 60+ more languages if you need them.

Can I mix AI and live agents on one number?

That is the normal setup. You decide which call types go to AI and which reach a person, and you can change the split as your volume changes. Nothing about that decision is locked in at signup.

Can support explain whether a donation is tax-deductible?

Support can share your published donation information and route acknowledgment requests. Individual tax treatment needs the donor’s adviser; the team does not calculate or promise a deduction.

Can support approve applications for assistance?

Program staff make eligibility decisions. Support explains the published process, records questions, and passes applications or appointment requests through your approved route.
