Feature Incorporated: Crew Manager Crew Roster appears in smartphone contact list
Posted: Thu Oct 24, 2019 4:03 pm
Responding to a request for features, I have this one for you:
Rather than having to enter telephone numbers of crew twice, once into crew-manager and once into my smartphone contact list, it would be really really great if crew-manager roster information appeared in my smartphone contacts list for both my crew, and I.
This would be the same functionality we get from outlook, gmail, whatsapp, skype, and other applications on our Android smartphones.
This would be useful, because I tend to create that double entry into my smartphone so that
(i) When a crew member calls me, their first/late name appears on the phone instead of a phone number. E.g. we know to answer the call, rather than think it might be a spammer.
(ii) When a crew member texts us, their name appears on our phone
(iii) When the crew are texting each other (outside an event), they can see each others names in the text.
(iv) when we call a crew member, we can speak their name to our phone, like we do our non crew-manager contacts.
I don't know if this is possible for apps that do not reside in our phones. If it does not exist, perhaps there are workarounds to add via the internet, e.g. add a contact to my gmail or outlook mailbox.
