Schoolyi

In-app bell, email alerts, and deep links

Notifications

Deliver fee, attendance, exam, and transport alerts through the in-app notification bell and email — with preferences and deep links into the right portal screen. Operational alerts only help when people see them. Schoolyi routes notifications to the bell, email, and parent portal deep links so families tap straight into the fee due, absence alert, or exam update that matters.
