What are SMS credits and how to add them (Admin — Web)

💻
Web Steps
1
SMS credits are consumed every time the system sends an automated SMS — fee reminders, attendance alerts, exam notifications, and announcements.
2
Each SMS sent to one recipient uses one credit. A bulk announcement to 200 parents uses 200 credits.
3
To check your current credit balance, go to Admin → Settings → SMS. The current balance is shown at the top.
4
To add credits, contact your MyCampusDesk account manager or use the Recharge link on the SMS Settings page.
5
After recharge, the updated credit balance appears immediately.
6
If SMS credits run out, automated SMS notifications stop sending — parents will not receive alerts until credits are added.
7
To avoid running out, set up auto-recharge or regularly check your balance.
💡 Tips & Notes

SMS credits are shared across all notification types — fee reminders, attendance alerts, leave approvals, and manual bulk SMS all consume from the same credit pool. Push notifications (app notifications) do not use SMS credits.
