Alerts for families without a smartphone
Every family is told, including the ones whose phone has never run the app.
In short
The School Bus Tracker sends alerts to the parent app and to the browser, and a family it cannot reach either way is sent the same message by email. No family is left out because they do not have a smartphone or have never opened the app.
Three ways to reach a family
- The parent app on Android or iPhone
- Notifications in a web browser, even when the site is closed
- Email, for a family the system cannot reach on a device
On from the start
A new child's family is set up to receive alerts as soon as the child is added, so nobody has to remember to switch them on.
Questions about alerts for families without a smartphone
Do families have to choose email?
No. Email is used automatically for a family the system cannot reach on a phone or in a browser.
