Migrants could use ''Pulso ONG'' to submit requests for information and/or assistance via SMS. Keyword identification would allow incoming SMS requests to be sorted by theme and directed to the appropriate respondent.

Either a single organization or networks of migrant advocacy organizations could establish these dispatch centers. The following examples demonstrate some possibilities for how the expanded version of ''Pulso ONG'' could be utilized:
  * Networks of NGOs could establish dispatch centers using ''Pulso ONG''. Incoming requests could be sorted by keywords and directed to individual member NGOs.  E.g., a member NGO assisting migrants in cases of deportations could be registered to receive all incoming requests with the word "DEPORTATION."
  * An NGO could use the expanded version of ''Pulso ONG'' as a tool for migrants, who might be afraid to summon local police or government authorities, to report violence, accidents, and emergencies to relevant NGOs, as well as to seek referrals or other resources. Incoming requests could either generate auto-responses with a list of resources/NGOs, or could be dispatched directly to NGOs working on the issue in question.
