Text or E-Mail Multiple Contacts Under One Screen

How would I type in phone number(s) or E-Mail address(es) into the Text Us or Call Us screen to allow the app to send a text or E-Mail to multiple contacts at once?

You could try entering multiple email addresses seperated with a comma. Not sure, could work. Same thing for texting. It will be interesting to see how iOS handles this - bet it works ;-)

That was my best guess too but i tried dividing with commas and semicolons. Neither worked. Any other ideas?

If neither worked, what happened? Did iOS show the first address, no addresses? It should open the native email compose sheet with the to-address pre-populated. I just tested here with a comma and it did do what I hoped - two addresses in the TO box.

I seperated with a comma and got one address in the native email. Ex. [email protected], [email protected]

v1.5 app? Assuming so...maybe remove the space between the addresses?

Hi Kyle...I can't seem to figure this out... I can get to the project source-code for your app but not without your approval first. Do this.. a) Post the name of your app exactly as it appears in your control panel. b) Post the name of the screen (the nickname in your control panel, exactly as it appears) you are trying to do this on. c) Post a simple 'it's OK for buzztouch to download my source-code for testing' message. I'll figure it out.

OK...this does work. Here's what I did. a) Downloaded the project b) Looked at the BT_config.txt data in the Xcode project and found the screen with c) The Email All Employees screen did not have any email to-addresses in the config. data. The control panel confirmed this - no to addresses. d) I entered two email addresses in the address box in the control panel - seperated with a comma e) I refreshed the app running in the simulator. I could not find the Email All Employees screen - it's probably password protected, many buttons are. f) I repeated the same process for the Questions and Suggestions screen because it's not password protected. e) When I tap Questions and Suggestions on the Support > Questions and Suggestions it opens an email with two addresses in the 'to' box. So, this works as I expected. Could it be that you're not selecting the right screen when you're testing? Could it be that you're not Refreshing the data in the simulator or on your device? Not sure what else to advise.

Sorry David. Completely forgot about the password protection. I dont have access to Xcode right now but for some reason I'm still unable to do it with just the control panel. I'll just wait a week or so and try with Xcode too. Thanks David.
