    3231== Frequently Asked Questions ==
     32= Can calls be imported to wordpress automatically? =
     33Yes. If your department can receive email notifications when you are
     34dispatched, this plugin can read those messages and post a new "911 call" to
     35your website. You need to set up a dedicated email address for this to work.
     36This plugin will read that email account, and import any unread messages as
     37new calls. Right now, the code MAY need to be adjusted slightly for your
     38department, but the code should be easy to read and extend.
     39
     40= Can it do the import process the moment we are dispatched? =
     41No. This is a feature I plan to add in the future, but I have not had the time
     42to yet. If you expand the plugin to include a cron job or daemon which does
     43this, please let me know!
     44
     45= How do I start the import process? =
     46In the admin page, click on "911 calls" on the menu on the left, and then
     47click on "Load calls" in its submenu. It will import all new calls, tag and
     48categorize them, publish them, and then report back on what it has done.
     49
     50= Do I NEED to use the import process to use this plugin? =
     51No. You could create new calls manually without ever using the import process.
     52Importing does make things a whole lot easier, though.
     53
     54= How do you receive emails when you are dispatched? =
     55Our county uses a system called "iamresponding" to notify us via text message
     56and email when we are dispatched. Other similar systems exist which you could
     57sign up for. I am not aware of any that are free.
