Overview
Your Edlio CMS dashboard provides an easy way to track and manage who receives email updates from your personal pages and class pages. When parents and students subscribe to your pages on the public website, their contact details automatically populate your Contact Lists, making it simple to view your audience and send class newsletters.
đĄ Powering Teacher Newsletters: Subscribers to your personal page or classes automatically form your personal Contact List in the CMS. When you navigate to Communications > Newsletters to send a classroom update, you can immediately select your subscriber list as recipients without needing to import emails or create lists from scratch!
Viewing subscriber counts
On your Edlio CMS dashboard, you can quickly see how many people are subscribed to:
Your personal teacher page
Individual class pages
This gives you an at-a-glance view of your audience reach without needing to dig into detailed lists.
Understanding Contact Lists
Subscribers are organized into two main categories within Contact Lists:
Personal Pages Lists: Automatically populated by everyone who clicks "Subscribe" on your personal teacher page. These contacts receive automated digests of your personal posts and serve as your recipient audience for general personal newsletters.
Classes Lists: Automatically populated by everyone who subscribes to that specific class. These contacts receive assignment notifications and can be selected when emailing class-specific newsletters.
Managing your subscribers
Under Communications > Contact Lists, you have full control over your subscriber base:
Add subscribers
Manually add new email addresses to receive updates from your personal page or specific classes (helpful if a parent requests assistance subscribing).
Edit subscribers
Update existing subscriber information, such as correcting an email address typo or updating contact names.
Delete subscribers
Remove subscribers who no longer have students in your class or no longer require updates.
Using subscriber lists to send Newsletters
As a teacher, you have full access to Edlio's Newsletters tool:
Go to Communications > Newsletters and click + New Newsletter.
Select a layout and compose your message with images, text, and calendar events.
On the Recipients step, choose your auto-populated Personal Page or Class list from the list dropdown.
Send immediately or schedule for a future date.
