Are there any mechanisms, preferably free or included out of the box (but non-free can be acceptable), that allow a user to use a Calendar app on their phone (preferably the native app) to interact with their CRM Calendar?
The goal is to provide 1-tap direct access to the schedule for mobile staff so they can quickly see where they need to go next; and when they need to go there.
Currently we use CalDAV and a CalDAV connector to provide this functionality to mobile staff, but we’d like to be able to move the calendaring function in to SuiteCRM.
The latest SuiteCRM versions (7.11) have complete Google Calendar 2-way sync. So you can just sync the Calendars and use the default Calendar app on mobile.
There are also a bunch of SuiteCRM apps that add functionality to this and allow for more things. QuickCRM, SuiteMOB, and a bunch of others (easy to find on Google Play). You can check how much they let you do in the free version.
I found that the built in iCalendar publishing URL does provide this functionality after setting a Publish Key, but the associated security mechanism is too weak, relying on “security through obscurity” with the Publish Key.
