How Instructors Send & Receive Texts with Account Holders

Text account holders one at a time or as a group from the Instructor Portal

Written by Serena Edwards

Instructors can text Primary Account Holders, Secondary Account Holders, or both from the Instructor Portal or the Enrollsy app. Account Holders get your texts in their regular messaging app, and their replies come back to you in Enrollsy.

NOTE: You won't get texts in your own phone's messaging app. View and reply to texts in the Instructor Portal or the Enrollsy app.

NOTE: Keep these group text limits in mind:

  • Group texts are limited to 160 characters. If you go over, Enrollsy warns you that you're sending multiple billable message segments per recipient, and you'll need to approve it.

  • Each Account Holder gets the group text individually. If they reply, only you get the reply, not the whole group.
