Questions & Answers

Who gets the email?

  • Emails are only sent to parent/carer profiles linked to the tagged families.
  • Only users with a valid email address in the Email field of their profile will receive an email (the username field doesn't count)

How long does it take for the emails to be sent?

Emails are batched and sent via our Campaign emailing job. So if the queue is quite long, it could take a few minutes to send out. If you are looking for a more immediate form of communication, check out our SMS feature.

Can I tag deactivated families?

You can only send emails to active families.

'This email is not verified and might cause deliverability issues'

If you see this message, you can still send the email, but if you have your own email domain and would like to improve deliverability (reduce chances of being marked a suspicious or spam), get your IT department to reach out to our support team so we can help verify your domain.

What does the email look like?

The email will be branded with your centre name and logo.
