What This Does

Authorizing your email allows SchoolsPLP to send alert notifications to your email for:

  • 📩 Chat notifications (e.g., when a student messages you)
  • 📊 Report downloads (such as enrollment reports)
  • 🔔 System updates and notifications

Important: Reports Require Email Authorization

If your email is not authorized:

  • You will not receive email notifications when the report is ready for download

Example:

  • When running a Current Enrollment Report or Export Users Report, the system will send you a notification to your SchoolsPLP Chat directing you to the reports tab under the Your Profile link when the report is ready for downloading.
    • The report is downloaded as a CSV file
    • Generated reports are available for 30 days in the reports tab

Optional: Enable Text Notifications

You can also receive notifications via text message.

Steps:

  1. Go to Profile → Notifications
  2. Click to add a new phone number
  3. Enter your number (no dashes)
  4. Click Save
  5. Click Authorize
  6. Enter the code sent to your phone

What Text Notifications Do

Once enabled, you can receive:

  • 📱 Student chat alerts
  • 🔔 Important system notifications

Tips & Troubleshooting

  • Check your spam/junk folder if you don’t see the email
  • Authorization codes may expire, so request a new one if needed
  • Make sure to enter the code exactly as shown
