Who it's for
The callout log is up to date. The website's news isn't.
Many mountain rescue teams record every callout in D4H Team Manager, but writing each one up again for the website is a job that slips. This is for teams whose website runs on Badger and whose callout reports fall behind.
Supporters and donors see what the team has been doing, without waiting for someone to find time to write it up
Nobody has to retype the callout: the draft starts from the notes already in D4H
The post appears in your website's news, like any other post
How it works
Tag it in D4H, approve it in your Badger admin
Once your website is connected to your team's D4H account, a callout you mark for the website arrives in your Badger admin as an update request when it has ended and has notes. AI drafts the callout post, and it waits there for someone to check it.
Tag the callout for the website in D4H (the tag is "website" unless you choose another)
Badger checks D4H every 15 minutes, and leaves a callout alone until nobody has edited it for two hours, so notes still being written aren't used
Or pick a callout from the list in the admin yourself
Read the draft and approve it, ask for changes in your own words (with photos if you like), or reject it
A callout is only imported once, and a published post is never changed from D4H
Privacy
What leaves D4H, and what doesn't
Callout notes are written for the team, not the public, so the import is kept narrow.
Only what you tag
A callout that isn't tagged for the website never leaves D4H.
Sensitive details stay in D4H
The exact location, street or postcode, the callout plan, your custom fields, and the people involved and their injuries are not read from D4H.
A person approves every post
The draft is written to keep injuries general and leave out names, but your notes may still say more than you'd publish. Someone reads it before it goes live.
What you need
Three things to get started
Setting up takes your team's D4H owner and someone with access to your Badger admin.
API access switched on in D4H, and a token from your team's D4H owner. D4H may charge for API access, so check with D4H
Update requests on your Badger website. They are in early access: talk to us
A news section on your website for the callout posts to go in
In pilot
This has been built against D4H's published interface and hasn't yet been used by a live D4H team. Expect it to change once a team is using it. If your team would like to try it, talk to us.
