New Feature: Contact Trusted Travellers from Your Trip Pages
We’ve just turned on a cool feature that many of you have requested: an easy way to act on trip coincidences — email from individual trip pages.
Go to any of your trip pages (it’s the “More details on this trip” link in the list of your upcoming places). Then look under Coincidences, on the right side of the page.
Assuming one or more of your fellow travellers either lives there or is going to be there at the same time, you’ll see another link that says “Sent them an email?” Click that, and we take you to a form that lets you check boxes next to the people to whom you want to send messages, with a box containing the text that you’ll then compose.
There’s a detailed explanation on that page as well, regarding message privacy and other things.
We’ll be upgrading this feature soon, with (for example) a way to change the subject line to something you choose instead of the generic ” A message about my trip to [city name]” –
Let us know how it works for you.
That’s pretty cool, but what I would really love is a ‘introduction’ feature. Just say I see that Jess is going to Seattle where my friend Paul lives. I think that Paul and Jess would really hit it off and I’d love a way to recommend that they meet up. It would have to be carefully arranged to protect privacy, but that’d be a killer feature!
Thanks for all the great work, btw, every time I’m in Dopplr I love it more!
I’ve sent lots of feedback about dopplr, but all I get is… well… nothing at all. Are you guys actually reading those?
@Caio - Yes, they do read these, though might not respond.
@Dan - Super. I am always looking for this feature. Glad you’ve added this. You’re making my real world life richer!
Caio, apologies. I will reply right away to your feedback.
Why there is not an easy way to post a message to a contact? or is there and I didn’t find it?? HELP!
