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 .
