Patch-through calls

Most effective way to bring change

Use patch-through calling campaigns when you need to drive hundreds or even thousands of calls to elected officials. Patch-through calls are a fast and cost-effective way to connect supporters to key decision makers. Turn everyday citizens into political activists to bring attention to the issues that you care about.

Step 1: Call supporters

Build a team of volunteers to call voters and identify people who support your cause.

Step 2: Educate

Convey your message to supporters and educate them about the issue. Let the volunteer guide and practice the script with supporters.

Step 3: Connect

Once they're prepared, connect the supporter to their representative. The agent can stay on the call and connect the supporter to another representative if needed.

Pricing

Patch through calls are made using the call center product. The costs are only as per usage. We do not charge for agent seats. Each call made by a volunteer to a voter is treated as two calls, one from CallHub to the volunteer and the other from CallHub to the voter. A third call originates when the voter is patched through to their representative.

There are 4 modes in which an agent can join a campaign. The prices vary depending on the mode. For the agent leg of the call, this is the pricing split by mode of calling:

Browser calls: USD 0.007 per 30 sec call duration
Dial in calls: Same as inbound call price
CallHub calls agent: Same as outbound call price
SIP phone: USD 0.008 per 30 sec call duration

Total cost / 30 sec = The cost of the volunteer calling + The cost of CallHub calling the voter + The cost of the patching the call

CallHub is available in over 200 countries

CallHub has helped us tremendously with our communications in our community. When we have an issue we need to notify people about quickly, this does the job.
Michael Drake, Kimberlea Community
We've successfully made hundreds of calls. Some of our volunteers have been intimidated by the software, but others jumped right in. Dropping messages on voicemails has been relatively easy.
Peter Mains, Campaign Manager
I love this product. It's easy to use with a very clean user interface. The price is the most economical I've seen in the industry and last but not least is the wonderful customer support. They answer all questions very quick.

We love it all so far, it has done pretty much exactly what we need and has had very few issues ever since we started using it.
