Changelog

Product updates, new features, and improvements to Skoolia.

v2.1.0
May 2026

Unified Messaging Hub, Bulk SMS Broadcasts & Always-On SIS Sync

A Unified Communication Hub

  • Brand-new Compose center brings WhatsApp, SMS, and in-app announcements together in one beautifully simple screen
  • Smart Auto mode picks the right channel for you — WhatsApp when the conversation is open, SMS when it isn't
  • Search any guardian by name or phone and reach them in seconds — no more juggling tabs
  • A refocused Messages view keeps every reply from parents and teachers in one tidy inbox

Bulk SMS Broadcasts for the Whole School

  • Reach every parent in your school — or just one class — with a single tap, perfect for urgent notices, school-wide announcements, and fee reminders
  • An audience preview shows you exactly how many guardians will receive your message before you send
  • Parents with multiple children get one message, not five — every recipient is reached just once
  • Live delivery reporting in the Activity tab so you always know exactly who received what

Enterprise-Grade Reliability for Automated Alerts

  • We've strengthened the engine behind every automated message — absence notices, fee reminders, and announcements now reach families with even greater dependability
  • Smart channel fallback keeps every message moving — if one delivery path slows, another takes over
  • Crisp delivery logs make following up on any message a one-screen affair

Always-On Infinite Campus & SIS Sync

  • Infinite Campus and OneRoster-compatible SIS platforms now sync automatically on schedule — fully hands-off
  • Each school sets its own sync rhythm (hourly, daily, or anything in between) and Skoolia takes it from there
  • Student rosters, classes, and enrollments stay current without a single click from your team
