Eduka uses Twilio as its SMS engine — sending login security codes and school notifications to families by text, with delivery tracked and costs accounted for message by message.
Why connect Eduka and Twilio?
Twilio is the world’s leading programmable-messaging platform, with global reach and reliable delivery. Connected to Eduka, it turns your school’s own Twilio account into the channel for the text messages that matter — the ones parents read within minutes.
How does the integration work?
Enter your Twilio credentials in Eduka’s Configuration module and Eduka sends SMS through the Twilio API for two purposes: secure sign-in, where two-factor authentication codes are texted to staff or families, and notifications, where messages composed in Eduka’s Communication module — absence alerts, payment reminders, announcements — go out by SMS, triggered by an event or sent as a campaign. Every message is logged against the recipient with its Twilio identifier.
What Eduka tracks
- Delivery status — each SMS records its Twilio status (queued, sent, delivered or failed) via Twilio’s status callbacks, with any provider error captured against the message.
- Cost accounting — the price and number of billed segments are stored per message, along with the remaining balance, so messaging spend is always visible.
- Automatic failover — if a message can’t be sent through Twilio, Eduka can fall back to a second SMS provider, so critical alerts still get through.
Built for school communication
The Twilio integration works with Eduka’s Communication module and its login security, so SMS sits alongside email and portal messaging as one more channel to reach families — from routine reminders to emergencies.
