Message a partner
One private thread with each partner, in Busy Book for you and in their app for them. Text and photos, who wrote each one and when, and the job it is about. It starts off, so you turn it on when you want it.
Keep the back-and-forth with each partner in Busy Book, next to their jobs, instead of on your personal phone. Everything stays saved for your records.
