Info

Important Note

The communication event module uses the email delivery provider SendGrid to deliver emails on behalf of the users. To avoid being classified as spams, it is important that our SendGrid email server IP address (168.245.65.115) is white-listed to ensure that Paradigm is able to send emails on behalf of your existing company email server.

Key terms and concepts

Contained within each email sent with the communication module is a one pixel tracker. This is a one a 1x1 pixel that is hidden within the body of the email that allows the email client to track the email. It can determine if the email has bounced, been delivered, has been opened and read, and if any attachments have been clicked into. This can be particularly useful when students are questioning if an important email / communication was sent to them and if they received it.

Below is a list of required fields to build a bulk student report for Communication events. This report can be built in the report builder and saved for future use. The fields below are required for such a report (i.e. Bulk student report) but additional ones can be added.
