How to send emails to students, parents

E-mail is an integral part of iDoceo. You will be able to effortlessly share many aspects of your day to day in class with students and their parents. Audio, Images and video can be added to any cell, header, or the diary, or student and in turn can be sent by e-mail , either to a selection of students or to all students at once.

How it works

Each student has two e-mail fields, one for a personal e-mail, the other for their parents'.

You can add several e-mails in the same field (e.g one for each parent or work/home). You must insert each e-mail separated by a comma, as shown in our example below.

Default e-mail address

All e-mails are sent by the Mail app in your iPad (that is the iOS system provided Mail app) and it solely depends on your iPad settings. iDoceo has no access to your e-mail configuration, account details or messages.

If you'd like to change the default e-mail account used by the Mail app: Tap on your iPad Settings > Mail > Default Account as shown in this image

If you do not have a 'Default account' option it means you have configured a single account in your Mail app and it is already used by default.
