FAQ

Can staff use personal cell phones without callers seeing their number?

Yes, staff can use personal cell phones without exposing their number to callers, and caller numbers can also stay hidden from responders. Authorized staff can return calls through Helpline without seeing or manually dialing the caller's number. Caller ID is configurable so responders see a consistent work or hotline number instead.

What happens if the primary responder has no reception or does not answer?

If the primary responder has no reception or does not answer, Helpline can detect some reception issues and automatically continue through configured backups. Routing also uses redundant backend endpoints with automatic recovery and up to 10 processing attempts if needed. Callers can stay connected during escalation or provide a callback number.

Can caller information be kept anonymous and securely controlled?

Yes, caller information can be kept anonymous with configurable data collection and retention, including fully anonymous workflows. Stored data is encrypted at rest and in transit, and sensitive information can be excluded from backups. Role-based access and a separate PII permission restrict sensitive data to authorized users.
