Announcements
Send a short message to all your students: a schedule change, a workshop, a day off.
Write one
Section titled “Write one”- Open your students list and tap 📣 Announce. In the bot this button opens the form in the app.
- Write the text, up to 1000 characters.
- If you like, pin it: 📌 1 week or 📌 1 month keeps it at the top of your students’ announcements in the app.
- Tap Send and confirm.
How it arrives
Section titled “How it arrives”Each student gets a message from the bot within about 10 minutes, with your name above the text. During a student’s quiet hours it arrives without a sound.
Under the message is 🔕 Mute. A student who taps it stops getting the messages and can still read your announcements in the app. You aren’t told who did.
After you send it
Section titled “After you send it”- An announcement can’t be edited.
- 🗑 Delete takes it out of the app and stops it from going to anyone who hasn’t received it yet. Messages already delivered stay in people’s chats.
- For a typo, delete it and send it again.
- Your sent announcements stay on the form’s screen for 30 days.
Good to know
Section titled “Good to know”- You can send up to 3 announcements in 24 hours.
- Name the day and the time, for example “Mon 16 Nov, 6:00”, not “tomorrow”. People may read it later.
- It goes to all your students at once. Everyone sees the text and your name, so leave out other people’s personal details.
- To write to everyone in a shala, students and team, see Shala announcements.
