I love June. School's out. Flowers are blooming. I can walk the dogs any time during the day and I don't get sweaty. It's awesome.

But you know what else makes it awesome? 

Major improvements to TroopTrack's texting feature!

Until now, TroopTrack text messages have been one way communications. This is nice for getting messages out quickly, but it doesn't work great if you want to have a conversation. Now, every text message sent using Communicate -> Send a Text Message has a link that recipients can use to reply to the message. 

I've made two other improvements to go with this. Every text message now includes the name of the sender in the message, as well as the name of the list it was sent to.

I hope you like this feature. Please let us know by commenting on the TroopTrack community page linked below!

Have a great weekend,

Dave

P.S. You might be wondering why you can't just reply to text messages and have that work. The reason is because we use an email-to-text feature that lets us send texts for free. If we were to use actual SMS, we would have to pay for those text messages, and sending texts from software is still pretty expensive. Hopefully that will change in the future.
