Question

SMS Auto Responder

Answer 1

We now have an option of creating an SMS Auto Responder for any info that's in the system.

This has already been setup for those that have GPS with our system. Any parent can sent an SMS to the system (YourSchool@gps.jlssinc.com) and it will lookup where the bus of your children are up to and reply with an estimated arrival time.

You can also setup a schedule message (For Snow) and anyone sending the word Schedule as an SMS to the system will receive a response with the current schedule message for his children's locations.

You can also update the schedule message using a SMS message.

For more info or for cost of setup please contact Sales@JLSSolutions.com.

The SMS auto reply for the parents is amazing, can we have the same thing for all staff (who are entered as a staff by Administration > Staff) they should also have the ability to get the auto reply from all buses and schedule ?

---

They would need to specify which bus and route time (With exact correct spelling.). Because the way it currently knows which bus to respond with is by looking up the students from the account.

---

Can you please add that the non parents staff should also be able to send the commands ?

(it will be helpful for teachers, and for the dispatcher too when he is unavailable to view the the GPS)

We have now added the option for Staff and Non Parents. Look on the bottom of the linked post.
