School Registry - Email / SMS (form)

Sending an SMS

An SMS can be sent in the following ways:

1. By clicking the Telephone button next to the Mobile Phone field. See Entity Details Form
2. By setting up a trigger that fires when certain conditions are satisfied. See Triggers for more information.
3. By creating a merge 'document'. An SMS merge type is provided that will perform a standard merge creating SMS messages instead of documents. See Add an SMS type merge document for more information.

The Message Queue

All SMSs and email sent from within SchoolPRO are first submitted to the Message Queue form. This form allows you to accept or reject messages that have been added to the queue with a 'Prompt' or 'Submitted' status. Messages added to the queue with 'Immediate' status will be sent immediately.
