How Reminder Settings in Kriyo Help Schools Automate Communication Without Losing Control

Overview

Schools run on timelines—fee due dates, enquiry follow-ups, events, holidays, and birthdays. Missing reminders can lead to delayed payments, lost admissions, or poor parent communication.

Kriyo’s Reminder Settings are designed to automate these routine notifications while still giving schools full flexibility to turn specific reminders on or off based on their communication style.

All reminder settings are enabled by default, so schools don’t have to set anything up initially. If needed, schools can easily customise which reminders should be automated and which should be handled manually.

Types of Reminders Available in Kriyo

Kriyo supports reminders across key school operations:

Fee Reminders

Automated notifications are sent to parents for due invoices:

  • 7 days before due date
  • 3 days before
  • 1 day before
  • On the due date
  • 1 day after
  • 3 days after

This helps schools improve on-time collections without manual follow-ups.

Enquiry Follow-up Reminders (Staff)

Admissions staff receive reminders for scheduled enquiry follow-ups, ensuring no prospective parent is missed.

Event & Holiday Reminders

Notifications are sent automatically for:

  • Today’s events or holidays (parents & staff)
  • Tomorrow’s events or holidays (parents & staff)

This keeps everyone aligned and avoids last-minute confusion.

Birthday Notifications

Kriyo can automate birthday communication in two ways:

  • Birthday wishes sent to parents on the child’s birthday
  • Birthday reminders sent to staff (today’s and tomorrow’s birthdays)

Some schools prefer sending personalised birthday messages with photos or notes. In such cases, they can simply turn off automated birthday wishes and handle them manually.

Full Control for Schools

Reminder Settings give schools the freedom to decide:

  • Which reminders should be automated
  • Which reminders should be disabled
  • Whether notifications should go to parents, staff, or both

Changes can be made anytime, and schools only need to update the settings once for them to take effect.

This balance ensures schools benefit from automation without sounding repetitive or impersonal in their communication.

  • Reduce manual follow-ups
  • Improve fee collection discipline
