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: your slots, your rotas, 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 Kadim texts you about two things, and nothing else:
- Slots you hold. A reminder the day before, and a courtesy line if one is moved, cancelled or taken off you.
- Rotas at that mosque. When your coordinator shares one, or thanks the team afterwards.
You are not texted when somebody else's slot falls through. Kadim used to ask the whole team to cover a gap; that now goes to the coordinators instead, so a text you cannot act on doesn't land on your phone at 10pm.
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 duty, the rota, the day and time, and a link to the roster in case you need to step back.
- A courtesy line. If a slot you hold is moved, retimed, cancelled, or taken off you by a coordinator, Kadim tells you rather than letting you find out on the day. When the new time might not suit you, the text carries a link so you can step back straight away.
- 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
Every text you get is the result of a coordinator tapping a button, or of you claiming a slot, or of the day before your slot arriving. No standing schedule texts you on its own. Schedules do text the coordinator: a daily digest of what they published, and an alert when a slot falls through near the day. But sharing a new rota with the team is always the coordinator's decision. That is explained in How standing schedules work.
