- To give more control over parent communication, a new checkbox option will be added to the Nursery Management Team edit screen. This setting to allow parents start a conversation with individuals within the group, enabled per nursery by default, will allow Admin roles to decide whether parents can message individual management team members or only the entire group.
17th March 2025
- Improvements to the messaging system to make communications clearer and more organised.
"Campaigns" has been renamed to "Messages" and we have reintroduced the Inbox and Sent tabs. Messages and replies are now grouped together for a more seamless experience.
A new setting, "Allow Replies to Messages (Parents)," has been added to the Messages Section within Branch/Nursery in System Settings, giving you control and flexibility over two-way communication across different locations. This setting is disabled by default, nurseries must manually enable this option for parents to see a reply feature for messages within the parent app Communication tab.
This change will only apply to new messages sent after enabling replies, previous one-way messages sent as Campaigns remain unchanged and cannot be replied to.
