Use your imports to trigger messages!
Administrators can use the Automated Notifications tool to stop/start automated notification messages.
When your district and schools import data from their Student Information Systems (SIS), you can set notifications to be sent out based on the information received. For example, when grades are imported, and a student receives a low grade, you can send an automatic message to the parent.
District administrators can control all schools and a school administrator can control their own school. Many districts disable messages during summer break and then start them again when the new year starts.
