The texts Kadim sends you
Kadim texts you sparingly and only for a reason. This page explains every text you might get and why, so nothing that lands is a surprise.
The promise: two kinds, and no marketing
When you first claim a slot at a mosque, you join its volunteer team, and the confirmation says so plainly. From then on there are two kinds of text, and nothing else:
- Reminders the day before a slot you hold, so it doesn't slip your mind.
- Gap alerts when a slot opens up near a Friday and the team needs cover.
There is no marketing, and it is only ever for a mosque you actually served at. Claiming again later never signs you up twice.
Every text, and where it comes from
- Your sign-in code. When you claim on a new device, a 6-digit code proves it's you. Kadim protects this text above all others, so a flood of anything else can never delay your sign-in.
- A slot reminder. The day before your slot: your slot starts at [time], thank you for serving.
- A gap alert. When a slot reopens close to the day and the team is asked to cover it. It always goes to whoever holds the slot, never to someone who dropped it.
- A rota share. When your coordinator shares a new rota to the whole team.
- A skill call-out. Only if you have declared a skill and a coordinator posts a call-out for it. Everyone else hears nothing.
- A thank-you. After a rota you served, a single warm message from your coordinator and the team.
- A DBS renewal reminder. If you have a check on record and it is coming up for renewal, a trustee can text you the steps.
Every one of these is one message, kept short. The full list, with who each one goes to, is in The texts Kadim sends.
How to stop them
Kadim's texts arrive from the name Kadim rather than from a phone number, so a reply does not reach us. Replying STOP does nothing at all, and we would rather say so than let you text into silence.
What does work is asking a coordinator at your mosque to take you off the team and to release any slots you are still holding. That ends every text above except the sign-in code, which is only ever sent because you asked to sign in. The how-to is Stop the texts.
Sent by a person, or by a schedule
Most texts are the result of a coordinator tapping a button, or of you claiming a slot. The only texts a standing schedule sends to volunteers on its own are the gap-fill alerts when someone drops out. A schedule does text the coordinator a daily digest of what it published, but sharing a new rota with the team is always the coordinator's decision. That is explained in How standing schedules work.
