Frequently asked questions
How fast are messages delivered?
Messages are handed to the SMS gateway as soon as you send them, and most reach parents within moments. You can check the delivery status of each message in CampusNXT.
Can I personalise messages?
Yes. Messages can include details such as the student's and parent's names, so each parent receives a personal message.
What is the character limit?
A standard SMS holds 160 characters. Longer messages are split into multiple SMS, and each part is counted separately.
How do I manage contacts?
You don't need to. Parent numbers come from your student records, organised by class and section, and stay up to date as students join or leave.
Can I schedule messages?
Yes. Schedule messages for a specific date and time — useful for routine fee reminders and homework updates.
