SIS-Powered Automation
Trigger every message from the data that already lives in your SIS
Skoolia connects to Infinite Campus, PowerSchool, Blackbaud, iSAMS, Veracross and any OneRoster-compliant SIS. When the SIS marks a student absent, a fee falls overdue, or a teacher misses a grade entry, Skoolia automatically sends the right message on the right channel — with WhatsApp-to-SMS failover so parents never miss a follow-up.
Routes through the messaging providers your school already uses
Skoolia speaks the protocols you already pay for — bring your own SMS gateway, your existing SIS, and your WhatsApp Business number. No rip and replace, no double data entry.
