# STRG Communicator #### October 3, 2021 ### I am excited to announce the next iteration of the ***STRG Notifier*** and ***STRG Communicator*** text message applications ### This is a complete re-write of the ***STRG Communicator*** which makes a FASTER version of a single application that * Syncs directly with QGenda for real-time accuracy and no more reliance on my uploading weekly schedules * Served from AWS in "the cloud" for improved reliability * Incorporates artificial intelligence to make it easier to search for shift and get more information faster ### The Notifier portion of the application will still send notifications for call shifts at ***10AM each day*** ### It also sends a weekly notification of shifts on Sunday prior to the week ### The Communicator portion of the application answers the following queries when texted to ***210-446-5322*** _from a registered user_ * __?__ – returns a help screen * __[initials]__ – returns a radiologist’s contact information in clickable form for quick calling, texting, or emailing * __examples__: * _am_ – Returns Amit Mehta’s contact info (The initials must match the ones used on our schedule but are case insensitive.) * _JAD_ – Returns Joel Dunlap’s contact info * __today [+/- initials or site]__ - returns your daily schedule, another radiologist's daily schedule, or the assigned radiologists for a specific site for today * __examples__: * _today_ = returns where YOU are scheduled to work today * _today ler_ = returns where Lance Reinsmith is scheduled to work today (The initials must match the ones used on our schedule but are case insensitive.) * _today hoak_ = returns the radiologists assigned to HOAK (The application does its best to guess which site you are requesting based on your input, which is also case insensitive.) * __tomorrow [+/- initials or site]__ – same as today but for the following day (See above examples) * __week [+/- initials or site]__ – returns your weekly (this week, M-Su) schedule, another radiologist's weekly schedule, or the assigned radiologists for a specific site for this week * __examples__: * _week_ = returns where YOU are scheduled to work this week * _week Tat_ = returns where Todd Tibbetts is scheduled to work this week (Case insensitive) * _week Methodist_ = returns the radiologists assigned to Methodist for this week (Case insensitive) * __nextweek [+/- initials or site]__ – same as week but for the following M-Su week (See above examples) * __call [+/- date]__ – returns the call team for today or a given day.
