newsletter function

[AnonyMouse_11362]

Hi,

Just wondering if there has been any progress on the newsletter function that was suggested as a possibilty a few months ago? We tried having a false child and adding all parents but we had complaints from parents that they could see each others names. Is this going to happen soon?

Thanks

Hello Womble,

Yes, we are working on it! Would you like to be contacted as soon as it is ready to test?

I would love to hear about this. I currently just write a weekly catch up on an observation page and tick all children onto it.

Great! We'll make sure to get in touch with you here!

Great Idea!!

Any news on the newsletter function please? And yes we would love to trial it if the offer is still there. I forgot to answer your question on that sorry!

Hi Womble,

The feature is still in development, but I have added you to the list of people to contact when we have further announcements.

If any other users would like to be contacted about this, please reply as such to this thread, and we will review the thread when this is ready, or alternatively send an email to customer.service@eyfs.info.

Hi Womble 

We do already publish our newsletters using an alias child, but in the settings, we have set them so parents cannot see each other so works fine they all get the news but cannot see the other parent names? We also enter parents who like the news into a draw for 2 hrs free child care encourages them to read the newsletter and we can monitor how many are ? Reading it.

Hi zigzag,

Sure! We'll let you know once we have been able to do this.

I would love to be able to do this.  Currently we send home a paper newsletter but I would like to be able to put it on Tapestry as well.  Currently I add messages for all parents as observations for everyone (FS2 setting) which hasn't been an issue so far.  I wondered if it would be possible to have the option of uploading a PDF document in media as I could attach current newsletters for parents to read rather than copying and pasting?

Hi Ashleigh7,

Welcome to the forum!

We will update this thread with any news regarding sending newsletters through Tapestry to keep you informed.

Thanks for your suggestion about being able to add attachments, I will pass this along so this can be discussed with the rest of the team. 

Best wishes,

Emily

Oh me too.

I email a weekly newsletter but not sure how many parents actulla look at it. But I can see when they access Tapestry so it would be brilliant new feature.

Thank you for your input LKeyteach, we've made a note!

I would really like to hear about an update on this.. I added my newsletter as an observation yesterday for all children but this sounds a much clearer way of doing it. An option to add a file instead of photo would also be fab 😀

Hi Rachel_Wright,

Thank you for your feedback as well. 

We will keep you updated with any progress we make on this. 

Best wishes,

Emily

Hi 

I would also love to hear about this function, the PDF upload would be amazing as we are trying to get away from printing things out and as the majority of parents access Tapestry this would be a tool we would use a lot! 

Best wishes,

Jo

Hi Jo,

It's great to see so many of you are interested in seeing this features on Tapestry! We'll make sure you are kept up-to-date with this. 

Best wishes,

Emily

And me!  Can’t wait!,

[Lauren]

Of course. We did hit a bit of a snag with it which is why it isn't ready yet, but we haven't forgotten about it! 
I'll update you all by emailing you as well as posting here when it's released .

Best wishes,
Lauren

This would be great, at the moment I send as an observation with a logo as photo to say what it is but of course they all end up in the child’s journal, I’ve now just created  2 chn, one called ‘policies’ and one called ‘news’, and added them to a parent to trial, I think it will work if I tell parents to only add ‘read’, it won’t all be in the journals and is ok whilst you have subscription places available.

[AnonyMouse_44936]

I would be very interested in this but would also love to be able to add pdf files please.

[EmilyTapestrySupport]

Hi Nesswood2,

Thanks for your feedback! The ability to add PDF documents to observations is definitely something on our list of things to add, and we'll keep it in mind for this too. 

Best wishes,

Emily

Hi

I was wondering if there was any updates or a timescale as to when PDF functions might be available?

Thanks

Hi Jocrow,

I am afraid that we do not have a time frame for this feature yet, although we have recently changed its priority level to high, meaning that it is a function we will start working on imminently! 

We will keep you posted with any changes

Best wishes,

Olaya

Is there any news on this? We would find it really helpful.

[EmilyTapestrySupport]

Hi,

You could use our Documents feature that we added at the end of last year to upload newsletters and share these with parents. I've linked our tutorials below which will explain how to set up and use this feature. I hope it helps!

1. Setting up the Documents Feature
2. How to use the Documents feature
3. How to Delete Folders and Files from the Documents Feature

Best wishes,

Hi,

We are pleased to announce that we have recently released our Memos feature for use on Tapestry; this feature allows you to send communications and notices to all or specific relatives. You can find our tutorial for enabling and using this feature below:

• Enabling memos

 We hope you enjoy it!

Best wishes,

Kat

Thank you, just catching up on this as I am now isolating! I have used the memo feature but found it a bit difficult to add the newsletter to send to each parent without others seeing [we had a parent complain about this!] I'll keep playing with it!
