 While ''Pulso ONG'' is currently designed to draw information from the migrant population, it could be expanded in the future to serve as a dispatch center, connecting migrants and advocates. 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 by NGOs:
  * 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.

  * The expanded version of ''Pulso ONG'' could be used by an NGO to develop a tool through which migrants could request information or guidance by texting AIUTO followed by a description of their need. Designated dispatchers could reply with a simple answer or contact information for an organization that addresses the expressed need.
