Messaging is a useful tool for centers and parents to communicate immediately and effectively. Kangarootime offers two unique messaging styles, Announcements and Account messaging.
Via the Announcement feature, you can inform parents of, for example, a school closure by sending a simple one-way message that contacts can view via the KT Connect app. For a more personal message that should only be shared between a center and a specific account, we also offer direct two-way messaging through the Account feature. This article aims to instruct one on how to send both Announcement and Account messages.
