Multi-Provider SMS

School SMS Platform

Send automated absence alerts, fee reminders, and announcements to parents over SMS — without writing a single message manually. Skoolia connects to Twilio, Vonage, MessageBird, and AWS SNS, with automatic WhatsApp-to-SMS failover so parents never miss a follow-up.

Supported Providers

Twilio

Programmable SMS in 180+ countries. Bring your existing Twilio account, paste your Account SID and Auth Token, and Skoolia routes through your sender.

Vonage

Formerly Nexmo. Strong delivery rates across Europe and the Middle East. Skoolia supports Vonage's REST API with your API key.

MessageBird

European-headquartered with excellent GDPR posture. Connect your MessageBird workspace and choose a virtual number per campus.

AWS SNS

Amazon Simple Notification Service. Cost-efficient for high-volume schools running on AWS. IAM credentials give you full delivery analytics.

WhatsApp-to-SMS Failover

When WhatsApp delivery fails or a parent doesn't have WhatsApp, Skoolia auto-falls back to SMS through your gateway. No silent drops.

SIS-Triggered

Every message can fire from data already in your SIS — absence, fees, grades, behavior — so workflows run themselves once configured.

Multi-Provider, Multi-Language

Four SMS providers, three message languages (EN/FR/AR), full RTL rendering for Arabic recipients. Bring the stack you already use.
