What are the requirements for using the Connector?▼
As a partner organization, you must go through training on the Connector’s use, upload your availability for public access through the tool, and keep your schedule up to date. Additional but non-required use includes reporting results of appointments, placing the Connector widget on your organization’s website, adding the Connector to your voicemail, and promoting the connector through social media.
How does the Connector help consumers keep their appointments?▼
Consumers will receive an email notification upon scheduling their appointment and a reminder email 24 hours before their appointment. Consumers can also sign up to receive text message reminders. Assisters will be notified by email when an appointment is scheduled so they can follow up with the consumers directly to help ensure the appointments are kept. These features should supplement, not replace, existing RSVP/confirmation processes of assisters.
Who has access to data in the back end of the system?▼
Data on appointments is not available to the general public and is protected. Partners will be given access via individual user logins to the back end of the Connector. Administrators will have full access to all fields and data relevant to their organization. Individual logins will be given different permissions so that users only have access to fields and data relevant to their position within the organization.
