The Moneypenny app is the perfect way to keep in touch with your PA.

In fact in just 4 super-simple steps, you'll have the GPS tool activated. Keep reading to find out how to get set up.

1. Start by creating your own GPS Status

Smartphone screen showing an 'Edit status' page for a communication app; the status is 'At desk' with options to transfer calls to a number, email, or text; GPS activation toggle is on; location noted as Wenlock Studios, 50-52 Wharf Road, Islington; a red 'Delete' option is at the bottom; navigation bar at the bottom has tabs for Calls & messages, Status, Phone, Update, and Settings.

Click on the Status tab in the navigation bar at the bottom of your app screen. This will take you through to the main Status screen where you can compose your own library of Statuses.

2. Personalise your Status

First, you will be asked to write a Status name; we recommend something simple like ‘in a meeting’ or ‘at home’. You will also have to enter in your preferred call handling instructions for this Status; something like ‘text my mobile’ or ‘email’ usually works best. Once activated, whenever your Status changes, your Moneypenny PA will be notified automatically.

3. Set your location

Smartphone screen showing GPS settings with a map highlighting a location in central London and an option set to Driving, informing users their status will change when leaving the mapped area.

When you’ve selected a Status name and entered in your call handling instructions, the last thing to do is allocate a location. To do this, either tap on your selected area on the map shown or manually look up an address in the search bar provided.

4. Choose a leaving Status

Phone screen showing status options like at desk active, driving, in meeting, out of office, and at a conference.

You’ll also need to set another Status for when you leave one of your selected locations. This is so your PA knows what to tell your callers whilst you move from one location to the other. Simply select how you want your calls to be handled in-between locations and your PA will take care of the rest.
