    Great idea. It's frustrating having to go through the workshop/class section to send an SMS to 1 student each time.

    Yes, I have also suggested this as a feature request. It would appear lots of people would benefit from it....

    This has come up a number of times. They have added this feature to the class also in the interim.

    Hi All, I agree that this would be a very useful addition to aXcelerate, and based on the response by the community will likely be added to our development plan in the future, following one of our scheduled reviews of the ideas forum suggestions. As always, the more votes that come in, the more likely that this feature will be implemented.

    Absolutely agree! I find it very frustrating having to go from a contact view, to a workshop in order to send a single contact an SMS.

    The SMS function would be utilised much more if this feature was introduced.

    Please update on the progress of this feature.

    I have requested a custom development quote for this as it looks like it will not be in the normal development plan anytime soon. I am happy to contribute to the cost of this feature as it is something we will definitely use... would anyone else like to contribute towards the cost? Please email me if you are interested and we can work something out - mark@asset.edu.au

     

    Here are the details:

     

    Task Description: Add "Quick Message" action to Contact Actions, with the ability to send an SMS or an Email. Note: there will be no formatting options for the message.

    Scope of Work:
    - A new link on the Contact Actions menu: "Quick Message"
    - A dialogue box for entering the message - it will display how many chars have been entered.
    - It will only show the SMS option if the Contact record has a mobile number and SMS global details are entered
    - A system note to be added to the contact record (with the message text) when sent.

    The fee for this custom development work is $1390 including GST.

    I put through a query re this to the Help Centre and was refered to here.  aXcelerate development team please act on this ASAP.  It should be a common feature as the Email button is.

    I'm quite surprised to see this is a two year old request, without action.

    This would be a great feature, many students just require a one off message and the system should be able to facilitate this.

    Hi All,

    As there is a number of supporters for this Idea I have featured the post in the hope we can add the idea into aXcelerate for early this year.

    I have also just closed comments on a very similar issue:

    I will continue to monitor this post.
