Automated Texting App for Android

Currently it is 13 steps (which is why we are looking to simplify this process).

Current method:
Launch phone texting
Select “compose”
Select “groups”
Select desired group “Orders” (txt and email to same person)
Select “all” (check boxes both txt & email)
Select Done
Tap in txt msg body
Tap settings button
Select Quick Message
Select the already defined Quick Message (Order form)
Enter order info
Press Send
Close messaging


My preferred automated method in 3 easy steps:
1. Select Order App from phone home page (this automatically enters/launches text messaging, selects my two predefined recipients txt & email, already displays Order form)
2. type/fill in order (it’s just 7 entries, usually less than 30 characters)
3. press SEND (app closes after message successfully sent)

My “Order Form” is just the following items:
1. Cust ID (4 digits)
2. Cust (name of business)
3. PO
4. Qty
5. Item
6. $
7. Special Instructions (rarely used)

Note 1: currently 4-5-6 above are on same line
Note 2: be great to have a drop down menu for Item (we only sell 4 items)
