About TATupload
TATupload 2 is now available at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.org.sucu.tatupload2
Unlike this version, it doesn't open a web browser to upload texts. It also has many other improvements as well. It does require up to date Google Play services which may not fit on older phones, so this version will remain online for phones that can't support them.
TATupload is designed to get relevant data from SMS messages sent to Text a Toastie events, and put it into a spreadsheet on Google drive so you don't have to type it up yourself. Please remember though that the data extracted may not be correct and texts should still be read carefully, to ensure the correct deliveries are made and that any reported food allergies are taken into account. That's still your responsibility, not mine.
Data is uploaded using the phones web browser, and the google account signed into that browser. Google Chrome will not open links if the phone is asleep, so messages may not be uploaded automatically. I do not recommend you set it as the browser for TATupload to use.
Permissions used:
Receive SMS messages - This allows the app to receive texts as they're sent to the phone. Processing texts in TATupload can be stopped when you're not running TAT.
View Network Connections - This lets the app tell if the phone is connected to the Internet, and if it's possible to upload a text.
Internet access is required to upload messages, but is done in the browser, so no permission is required by TATupload. Texts will be stored in the app if no web connection is available.
This app is provided for free and is open source. The source code can be found at www.github.com/ACLay/TATupload

When we found this app, we weren't sure how much effect it would have, but since we've begun using it everything's become much more streamlined - thank you Alex (and God)!
