Send SMS
If you are an authorised SMS sender, to send a text message select Send SMS under the AutoText
module.
Please note that NO texts or emails are sent automatically. The use of this service requires an SMS
sender to pro-actively perform a series of actions in order to send either texts or emails.
If you are associated with several schools where you are an SMS sender, a dropdown list of schools
will be visible. Otherwise, only one school will be displayed.
If you are an LA level user, you will be able to select any school within the authority.
Credit availability
The number of messages available to the selected school will be displayed across the centre of the
screen in bold text.
The cost of a single message will be displayed in bold blue text. If you select multiple recipients, the
cost of sending the texts will be calculated automatically and displayed in bold blue text.
Low message credits
When your text credits fall below a certain amount but you are still in credit (150 message credits is
the default setting but your LA may have specified a different amount), you will see a red warning
message (see below). At this point you will continue to be able to send messages.
