AutoText offers a feature-rich system to generate messages to parents, staff or any other third party.

This service integrates with your school’s MIS so pupil details, parents’ contact information and attendance data are received and processed automatically on a daily basis with no need for manual intervention.

Easy-to-use functions:

• Automatically generate unauthorised absence lists using your school’s registration data
• Send absence alerts to all parents using auto-generated reports
• Compose one-off messages or use pre-created templates
• Filter parents by class, year, house, or find individual pupils
• Send emails and newsletters to parents of the entire school, a year or a class
• Send messages to groups of staff
• Create and save bespoke groups of pupils for trips, clubs or other activities
• Create and save groups of staff such as Senior Management team, Department Heads, technicians, etc
• Create bespoke groups of any other third parties you contact regularly
• Run reports to check the accuracy and completeness of the contact details in your MIS
• Find pupils whose parents have unusable mobile numbers, no mobile numbers or no email addresses
• View email and text logs with message delivery status
• View live billing information to help monitor costs

Minimal setup is required as the system obtains its data automatically and directly from the MIS.
