Take One Call Now With You: Meet the New Mobile App

person using the OCN Mobile App on their phone in the evening

One Call Now by Crisis24 customers have a new way to manage communications from their mobile devices. The new One Call Now mobile app gives authorized senders a simple way to create, send, manage and track communications wherever their day takes them.

The app is built specifically for the people responsible for sending your organization’s messages. Parents, residents, employees, members and other recipients do not need to download the app. They can continue receiving your One Call Now communications through the channels you already use.

For senders, it means more of the One Call Now experience is now available right from your phone. 

More Control from Your Mobile Device

The new mobile app is designed to make it easier for authorized senders to manage communications without needing to log in from a computer.

From the app, you can manage key parts of the communication process, including:

  • Creating and sending messages from your mobile device
  • Selecting the contacts or groups that need to receive an update
  • Monitoring sent communications
  • Tracking delivery and responses
  • Keeping up with replies through two-way messaging

Whether you are sending an everyday reminder or a time-sensitive update, the app gives you another convenient way to keep communication moving. 

Reach the People Who Need to Hear from You

Not every message needs to go to your entire contact list. The mobile app lets senders choose the appropriate contacts or groups so you can keep each communication relevant to the people receiving it.

That flexibility can be useful across the organizations that rely on One Call Now. A school can reach a specific group of parents, a property manager can update residents at one location, a church can communicate with a particular ministry or volunteer group, and a business can reach the employees affected by a change.

You stay in control of who receives the message without having to wait until you are back at your computer. 

Turn Updates into Two-Way Communication

Sometimes sending information is only the first step. You may also need to know whether people have questions, need additional information or are able to respond to a request.

Two-way messaging helps keep that communication moving. Recipients can respond to text messages, giving senders a way to monitor replies and stay closer to the conversation from their mobile device.

That can make a difference when you are:

  • Confirming attendance or availability
  • Coordinating staff or volunteers
  • Gathering responses to an update
  • Answering questions after plans change
  • Checking whether additional follow-up is needed

Instead of communication ending when you press send, you have another way to hear back from the people you are trying to reach. 

See What Happens after You Send

Knowing that a message was sent is helpful. Knowing how that communication is reaching your audience gives you more information to work with.

The mobile app gives senders visibility into message activity, including delivery and response information. You can check how your communication is progressing and determine whether additional outreach may be needed.

One Call Now has long provided reporting and response capabilities to help organizations understand how their messages are being received. The new app brings more of that visibility into the mobile experience. 

Built for the People Who Send Your Messages

This release of the One Call Now mobile app is designed for authorized senders. Your recipients do not need to download a new app or change how they receive communications from your organization.

That means your team gets more flexibility without asking your community to adopt something new. The people responsible for communication can use the mobile app, while your recipients continue receiving the calls, texts and emails they already expect from you.
