Communication Settings

Configure SMS delivery channels and control which roles can send SMS messages.

The Communication tab lets you control how SMS messaging works at your center. You can enable or disable SMS features and choose which team roles are allowed to send messages.

How to Access

Navigate to Settings → Communication tab.

SMS Alerts on Announcements

Toggle Enable SMS alerts on announcements to allow staff to send SMS alerts alongside announcement emails.

When disabled, any attempt to send an SMS alert with an announcement will be blocked by the system.

Quick SMS to Individuals

Toggle Enable quick SMS to individuals to allow staff to send one-off SMS messages from parent profiles and message threads. This is useful for quick, time-sensitive communication like "Emma forgot her lunch box" without needing to create a full announcement.

When disabled, any attempt to send an individual SMS will be blocked by the system.

Who Can Send SMS

Control which roles are allowed to send SMS messages. Each role can be toggled independently:

  • Owner — On by default
  • Admin — On by default
  • Teacher — Off by default

When a role is disabled, team members with that role will be blocked from sending any SMS. This applies to both announcement SMS alerts and quick SMS.

Owner only: Only the center owner can change Communication settings. Other admins see this tab in read-only mode.

Click Save after making any changes.

Enrollment Settings

Configure how enrolments behave when they reach their end date.

Child Profile Permissions

Set who can view and edit child profile information.
