When you text the call sheet, each crew and cast member gets a private link that opens on their own call time. No app, no account, no password. Back in G-Casper Pro, the delivery report lists everyone on the sheet with what happened on each channel: sent, delivered, opened for email, failed, or never sent at all.
Digital call sheets come with the AD plan and every plan above it. Texts use SMS credits, one per recipient.
The link opens a page built for a phone held in one hand. Quick View leads with the recipient's own call and their DOOD status, then crew call and shooting call, breakfast and lunch, any note written just for them, and a map of the day with one-tap directions to parking, base camp, each location and the nearest hospital. Email View shows the message as it was sent, with the call sheet front, back and map as PDFs to download. A PRELIM or FINAL badge and the version number sit at the top, so nobody works off a superseded sheet. Personal calls are read fresh every time the page opens, so a change made after the send shows up on the link. The page needs a connection to load.

Every person on the day's call sheet is listed, whether or not the send included them. Each row carries two chips, one for email and one for SMS, because a text that landed and an email that bounced are two different stories. The tiles at the top count the whole sheet: sent, delivered, opened, failed, and not sent. Statuses only move forward, so a late report from a provider never knocks someone back from Opened to Delivered. Opened is an email signal. Carriers report that a text arrived and nothing after that, so an SMS stops at Delivered. The prelim and the full send are counted apart.
Delivery Status
Day 4 · full call sheet
Failures sit at the top of the report with the reason next to each name: a hard bounce, a full mailbox, a landline the carrier refused. Resend tries the failed emails again in one go. A soft bounce can go through on the second try. A wrong address will not, and the report says so. You can also copy the failed addresses or open them as a draft in your own email app. A person counts as failed only when nothing reached them, so a bounced email with a delivered text is not on the list.

Resend here, or take the addresses to your own email app if the problem is on our side.
SMS: carrier rejected, not a mobile number
Hard bounce: address does not exist
Soft bounce: mailbox temporarily unavailable
Tom's text failed but his email landed, so he is not counted as failed.
