About This Automation

Daily parent communication at early education centres involves manually composing, formatting, and sending activity reports across multiple channels. Staff spend significant time rewriting messages for email, SMS, and messaging apps, duplicating photos, and tracking delivery status.

Automation transforms raw activity notes into polished daily reports and distributes them across all parent communication channels simultaneously. The system respects parent preferences, tracks delivery, and maintains a complete audit trail in the centre records.

Key features
Extract activity highlights and child-specific moments from daily notes automatically
Compose warm, engaging reports formatted for email, SMS, and messaging apps
Distribute reports to all families based on their preferred communication channels
Attach and sync photos across email and messaging platforms without duplication
Track delivery status and flag failed sends for manual follow-up
Log all communications in your centre system with timestamps and delivery confirmation

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Activity Notes Loggedtrigger

Automation detects new activity notes added to the centre's activity log. The trigger fires when a room leader completes and saves the day's notes.

2. Extract and Enrich Activity Data

The automation reads the activity notes, extracts key details (child names, times, activities, observations), and formats them into a structured daily report template.

3. Retrieve Parent Contact List

Automation queries the parent contact database to fetch email addresses, phone numbers, and messaging preferences for all enrolled families.

4. Generate Personalised Messages

The automation creates personalised email and SMS versions of the daily report, tailoring the tone and detail level for each communication channel and family.

5. Send Email

Automation sends the email report to all parents, using BCC to protect email addresses and including attached photos from the day.

6. Send SMS

Automation sends a brief SMS summary to parents who have opted in to SMS notifications, with a link to the full report.

7. Post

Automation posts the daily report and photos to a private channel for parents who use, with reactions enabled for acknowledgement.

8. Log Communication

Automation records the communication event, including timestamp, channel, recipients, and delivery status, creating an audit trail for compliance.
