You can configure automated email notifications so designated teachers, athletic directors, or administrative staff receive an alert whenever a parent or student completes a form.
Classic vs. Dynamic Notification Recipients
When configuring an App Form, you can select between two notification delivery models:
Classic Recipients: A fixed list of email addresses that receive a notification on every single submission (ideal for school-wide absence lines or central office notifications).
Dynamic Recipients: Routes the submission alert to specific staff members based on the answers selected in the form (e.g. routing to the Grade 9 Counselor if the user selects Grade 9, or to the Soccer Coach if the user selects Soccer).
How to Add or Remove Recipients
In Features > Forms on edlioapp.com, locate your form and click the blue Pencil icon (Edit).
Under Form Details, locate the Recipients field.
To add a recipient: Enter the staff member's complete email address and press Enter or click Add.
To remove a recipient: Click the ✕ next to any existing recipient pill.
Click Save Form.
💡 Staff Notification Tip: For high-volume forms (such as daily absence reporting or lunch order forms), route notifications to a shared department inbox (e.g. [email protected]) rather than individual staff emails. This prevents critical student notices from being missed when an individual staff member is out of office.
