Email Address for Players

Post by frachel » Sun Jul 08, 2012 7:05 am

I propose adding an Email address field to the player info (or a 'parent email address'). That way emailing out the Player Cards to all the kids/parents can be a little less tedious than it is now.

If you are using iOS, you can select the person be mailed to from your address book, so you would not have to type the email addresses if all your players are in the address book on your device.

I do that, but it would still be much more useful to have an email address attached to the player in iScore. Then clicking the "Email" on the Player card could be automatically pre-filled. It would also allow easier implementations of something like "email stats to team" or something similar. As it stands right now, I set up a mailing list at my ISP for the team which I use to send the stats and scorecast game links to, but I think having it in the program would be easier and more straightforward.

As an example, for whatever reason, Comcast rejects any message from my mailing list (they consider it spam, so it gets rejected at the server level, not even at the end-users spam controls), so I send the iScoreCast link to the mailing list, but then have to send it to the 4 or so people individually.. Having email addresses for all the players (which is usually the parents) and then a "email iscorecast link to team" or something would be awesome.

I'd actually enhance the request to be able to assign 1..n email addresses..

If you create a contact in your address book called "iScore Distribution" (or whatever you would like to call it), and add each of the email addresses to that, then when you go send the iScoreCast Link, you can select that Contact, and iScore will send the email to each address you have in that contact. It will send them individually, so Comcast should not reject them.

We will add your request to our enhancement list.
