Reminder calls (optional)
A call for the reminder that cannot slip
A text is easy to miss on a loud job site. With calls set up, CrewBuddy texts the reminder and then calls your own phone with the same words.
Text it like this
Fictional example.
Who it calls
Only you, at the phone number your CrewBuddy chat already uses. It cannot call a number written into a request, and it never calls customers, crew or anyone else. Calls work for owners who text CrewBuddy in iMessage.
Limits
You approve every call with a one-time code first. By default calls only go out between 8 AM and 8 PM, three a day at most, and both limits can be changed with us. The text always goes first, so a missed call still leaves the reminder on your phone.
A calling number is needed, and it costs extra. The price is settled with you before calls are switched on.
Good uses
Inspection windows, a delivery you have to meet at the site, a permit that expires at the end of the day, or a walkthrough with a GC. Pick the few reminders that would cost you a day if you missed them, and leave the rest as texts.
Use calls for inspections, deliveries you have to meet and permit deadlines. Everything else is fine as a text.
Set it up once
For the reminder you cannot miss, like an inspection window, CrewBuddy can text you and then call your phone and read it out.
- Turn on Schedules and tell us you want calls.
- We connect a calling number with you.
- Ask for "text then call" on the reminders that matter.
