Arux has developed integrated email communications into its all-in-one after school and community education management platform. This new, highly anticipated feature allows administrative teams to design, segment, and send targeted email communications to their families and community members through Arux. Programs will be able to create various custom lists to send emails to. It will also allow you to send test emails, select reply-to addresses, and schedule emails for later delivery.
By adding integrated, ad-hoc email building and delivery within our communication suite, Arux can help programs strive to form deeper connections with families and community members. Now, it’s easier to share program updates, market new and exciting offerings to your community, or share other essential information with your families.
Deliver targeted communications to your community
Connect Messaging can be activated from almost any List View across Arux’s Admin Portal (contacts, child care sites or site sections, courses or course sections, etc.).
With Connect Messaging, users can choose the purpose of their communication: “Send Message” or “Send Marketing”. Both options will include the option of sending an email. This option helps you manage email subscription types across your community, making sure your most important updates reach all of your families.
When creating an email, you have the option to send it immediately or schedule it for a later delivery. If the send list changes between schedule and send, Arux will automatically account for the change and ensure all emails are delivered to the necessary participants.
Once emails are sent, they’re tracked on the Communications tab of each recipient’s View Page, allowing administrators to track all communications sent and received, complete with sent at, delivery, and last opened timestamps. They can also be tracked through a new Connect Campaigns dashboard, which makes it easy to see what email campaigns have been sent, the contents of the email, and how the audience engaged with it.
A dynamic email builder, complete with AI Assistance
When building emails, Arux provides you with a variety of tools to help you make great emails:

Text Messaging
In addition to ad hoc emails for marketing purposes, Connect Messaging also allows programs to send SMS text messages for more urgent communications and updates to families and community members. Some of these examples of communication include school closures, delays, or other important information for your users who have opted to receive messages from your district or program.
Making it easer to engage with families
At the beginning of the year, we established our guiding principles to shape our growth. While there are changes in the after-school industry, programs will always aim to foster strong connections with families and community members.
By adding email to our communication suite, customers can create various custom lists for sending emails. They can also send test emails, choose reply-to addresses, and schedule emails for later delivery.
