# Accepting Pinged Referrals

***

Service providers refer litigants to our partners by choosing listings to put in the litigant’s “referrals” page. When your pinged listing is added to a litigant’s Passport, your point(s) of contact receive an email. The next steps depend on the preferences you set up in your organization’s listings.

When [pinging](/partners-and-organizations/listings.md#what-is-pinging) is turned on, your point(s) of contact will get emailed about new clients and get access to each new Passport. However, their access is limited when conflict check is required for their [legal issue](/partners-and-organizations/listings.md#legal-issues). They will only have enough information from the Passport to either accept or reject a case. If a case is accepted, staff will have full access to the litigant's Passport.

When [pinging](/partners-and-organizations/listings.md#what-is-pinging) is turned on, your point(s) of contact will get email about new clients and get access to each new Passport. However, the view will not be limited since there is no conflict check requirement for the [legal issue](/partners-and-organizations/listings.md#legal-issues) selected. You and your staff will be able to access the litigant's Passport details and determine if your organization can help or if another referral is needed to get them help.
