Schools utilizing Edlio Mass Communication can distribute CMS website forms directly to targeted classrooms, grade levels, and custom groups via multi-channel announcements.
Cross-product workflow: Connecting CMS forms with Mass Communication
While teachers and staff cannot dispatch direct bulk emails from the standalone CMS dashboard, schools with Edlio Mass Communication can broadcast form links across multiple channels simultaneously:
In the CMS Forms Manager, copy your published form's Direct Link.
In the Edlio App admin, navigate to Mass Communication > Messages > New Message.
In Step 1 (Channels), select your desired channels: Email, SMS Text, or Mobile App Push.
In Step 2 (Targets), select your target audience (such as 9th Grade Families, Varsity Soccer Parents, or specific Classrooms).
In Step 3 (Compose), paste the form link. For SMS text messages, use an attachment link to ensure smooth mobile delivery without exceeding character caps.
Send the message immediately or schedule it to dispatch at a specific date and time.
đĄ Best-Practice Adoption Tip: When dispatching urgent permission slips or critical forms via SMS text message, keep your opening text concise and place the form link prominently. Parents can tap the link directly from their smartphone to complete the responsive mobile form without logging into a student information portal.
