Fill Depositions in Minutes, Not Hours.
FillCue sends automated texts to your reporter list in priority order until someone confirms the job. No phone tag. No Resource Blast guesswork. No scrambling at 4:30 PM.
No credit card required · Your reporters don’t need to download anything
What an uncovered deposition actually costs you
A deposition comes in for Thursday morning. You start working your contact list — maybe you send a Resource Blast and hope for the best. Three reporters are busy. Two don’t respond. One says she’ll check her calendar.
By the time you hear back, the attorney has already called another agency.
That’s not just one lost job. The average deposition is worth $2,580 to your agency. Factor in rush costs, confirmation follow-up, and the client who now has your competitor’s number in their phone — and a single uncovered deposition costs $4,000 to $6,000 or more.
Resource Blast sends the same message to everyone at once. That’s a broadcast, not a cascade. You still have to follow up manually and hope two reporters didn’t both show up.
FillCue costs less than $49 a month. One covered deposition pays for more than 5 years of the service.
How It Works
Add your reporter list
Import via CSV or add manually. Drag to set your priority order. Your best reporter goes first.
Create a cascade
Enter the job details (date, time, location, case). Takes about 2 minutes.
FillCue does the outreach
Texts your reporters one at a time. No response or a decline? FillCue moves to the next automatically.
Position confirmed
First reporter to accept gets the job. You get notified immediately. Everyone else gets a "position filled" update.
Your reporters never need to download an app, create an account, or learn new software. They receive a text. They reply with a number. Done.
Why FillCue vs. Resource Blast
| Resource Blast (RB9) | FillCue | |
|---|---|---|
| Outreach method | Broadcasts to everyone at once | Contacts reporters one at a time, in your order |
| Response tracking | Manual | Automatic — logged with timestamps |
| Double-booking risk | Yes (two reporters can both accept) | No — cascade stops the moment one accepts |
| Reporter effort | Reply to email or call back | Reply to a text with a single number |
| Your effort after sending | Follow up, confirm, resolve conflicts | Get a notification. Done. |
FillCue doesn’t replace RB9. It replaces the part RB9 can’t do: getting a reporter to say yes.
Your reporters will actually like this.
This is the first thing every agency owner asks. Here’s the honest answer:
Your reporters don’t need to do anything new. No app to install. No account to create. No login to remember. No website to visit.
They receive a standard text message. They reply with a single number. That’s the entire experience.
Reporters who want the job reply 1. Reporters who aren’t available reply 2 — or just ignore the text. The cascade moves on automatically.
No one gets spammed. FillCue contacts reporters one at a time in the order you set. Your top reporter gets first right of refusal. You keep your relationships.
And because FillCue works through your agency — not around it — your reporters stay your reporters. They’re not listed in any marketplace. They’re not visible to competing agencies.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will my reporters be okay with this?
- Yes. They receive a text message and reply with a single number. No app, no account, no password. If they don’t want the job, they reply 2 or ignore the text. The cascade moves on automatically.
- How is this different from Resource Blast in RB9?
- Resource Blast sends the same message to every reporter at once. FillCue contacts reporters sequentially, in the order you choose, and stops the moment one accepts. One job, one confirmed reporter, no overlap.
- Does FillCue replace RB9?
- No. FillCue handles one specific task — sequential dispatch of job offers via SMS and email. You still use RB9 (or Solaria, or RAW) for scheduling, billing, and production. FillCue fills the gap that Resource Blast doesn’t cover.
- How long does setup take?
- About 15 minutes. You upload your reporter roster (name and phone number), set your preferred order, and you’re ready to send your first cascade. Phil personally walks every charter agency through the setup on a call.
- What happens if no reporter accepts?
- You’re notified immediately with a full log of who was contacted, who passed, and who didn’t respond. You’re never left guessing.
- Is my reporter list safe?
- Your roster is your roster. FillCue never shares reporter information with other agencies and reporters are never listed in any marketplace. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
- What if I want to cancel?
- Cancel anytime from your dashboard. No fees, no calls to a retention department. If you cancel within 30 days, we’ll refund your payment in full.
