 == Expansion ==
 While ''Pulso ONG'' is currently designed to draw information from the migrant population, the tool could be expanded in the future to dispatch center between migrants and advocates, to which migrants could 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. These switchboards could be established by a single organizations or by networks of migrant advocacy organizations. Example use cases:
- •  NGOs such as Foro Migraciones, a network of over 70 migrant advocacy organizations in Mexico, can register to be notified when a keyword they define is submitted to the platform. E.g., an NGO assisting migrants to find work can respond to users who submit "TRABAJO" to ''Pulso ONG''.
- •  Migrants can report violence, accidents, emergences and ask for help (who may be afraid to summon local police or government authorities). An NGO who responds to emergencies can be notified through the platform (a “grassroots 911”).
- •  Migrant knowlegebase: users can receive information or guidance by texting AIUTO followed by a description of their need. Dispatchers can reply with a simple answer or contact information for an organization where the user can receive the help they need.
