How do I set up a "digest" email so my posts come at one time?

Users can change their notification frequency for posts: you can receive them instantly (when they are posted) or as a digest at 6 pm.

All posts would be sent at 6 pm each night.
If the user with the Digest setting turned on looks at the app or web browser, they will see the posts.
The Digest user will still receive emergency communications instantly sent by Smart Alert or when a user sends a post instantly.
Messages, communication directed to small groups or individuals, are sent instantly.

Do I have to register my account to receive messages?

Do I still need a schooltool portal account?

I'm not getting any messages from ParentSquare. Troubleshooting Tips

There are a couple of things to check:

We do not have your correct email or phone number
The same phone number or email address is used for both parents, so only one parent is getting the messages.
It is in your spam folder - please check your spam folder.
You have turned off all the modes of communication in your ParentSquare account.

If none of these solve the problem please contact us through this form: LINK
