Switch Email and SMS Verification Settings On or Off
To control whether IRIS ParentMail automatically sends account registration invite emails and text messages to parents and carers of your students when they are imported, you must switch on the applicable settings.
Text message invites are only sent to parents and carers who have a mobile number IRIS ParentMail if an email address has not been entered for them, or to all parents and carers if Enable Email Verification has not been switched on.
If Enable Sms Verification is switched on, charges are applied for the number of credits used for each text message sent.
