> Now they must remember which address to use for what.

I will be introducing the address/contact book feature for each user, wherein users can save the port address with whatever name they feel comfortable. So, users just need to send a message to someone from the address book (if already added), this way users don't need to remember exact port address, rather just refer the address book.

I think except email, most of the solutions will require all users to use specific platforms.

You'll find that, while not perfect, most tools like Slack, Teams, Confluence, Jira have integrations that allow various degrees of notification, activity monitoring and message transfer - either natively or via third-party solutions such as Mio [0] which creates "universal channels" that bridge Teams and Slack channels so that messages posted on one platform are visible on both and can be responded to natively.

The problem isnt remembering the contact. Its remembering which port should be used. If I have a hospital and a church port for John and there's a church sponsored blood drive that John is leading should I send it to his church port or his hospital port?
Send it to both?
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
