Reach multiple families at once without repeatedly selecting the same parents or sending individual messages.
With Broadcast Messages, you’ll soon be able to send rich messages to selected groups of parents, create reusable recipient lists, and track delivery—all from one streamlined workflow.
What’s Coming
👨👩👧👦 Choose Exactly Who Receives Your Message
Select recipients across classes and filter by Mother, Father, Both Parents, classroom, or student status. You can also search directly by student or parent name.
💬 Send More Than Just Text
Broadcasts can include text, images, videos, files, or voice notes, with an emoji picker, one-click translation, and AI Suggestions available while composing.
💾 Create Reusable Recipient Lists
Frequently message the same group of families? Save your selection as a named recipient list and reuse it for future broadcasts. Lists can be edited, renamed, or deleted as your needs change.
📊 Track Broadcast Delivery
See live progress while your broadcast is being sent, including how many messages were delivered or skipped and the reason for skipped recipients where applicable.
⚡ Send Without Waiting
You can dismiss the delivery progress notification and continue working while your broadcast sends in the background. If delivery stalls, illumine will clearly indicate that the broadcast failed instead of leaving you with a hanging progress indicator.
