Enable SMS Messaging

In order to use the SMS messaging feature, you must have the Connect Package.

The SMS messaging feature in TimeSavr allows educators to communicate directly with parents, via the mobile app, but because SMS messaging requires a phone number you must first select a number to use for your centre.  The number you select will be assigned to your account and all messaging will go through that number.  This number can not be used on your cell phone, but only in the TimeSavr mobile app.

You can enable SMS messaging in TimeSavr on the Daily Reports page.

Enable SMS messaging, then search for a number.

A phone number is required to send SMS messages.  This number will be assigned to your TimeSavr account.  After you select your number, it’s a good idea to notify all your parents via email about your new messaging number and that if they receive a text message from this number, that it is a message from your centre.

All available numbers are listed here, and you simply need to choose one.  You may not find a number in your city but try to find one closest to where you are.

Click "reserve" to secure the number you want.  After selecting your number, it may show as pending. Press the refresh button to see if it's ready to go.

When your number shows as active, you're done, and you can now send messages to the parents from your mobile app.
