Setting up and enabling Advanced Email
Scoir supports an advanced email experience where emails sent via Scoir can be configured to come directly from your school's email domain.
This reduces the risk of important messages being ignored or overlooked, and enables you to send emails to all students or guardians in your roster, regardless of whether or not they have registered on Scoir.
Configuring advanced email will require your email domain and an update to your Domain Name System (DNS) configuration--usually by your school's IT Administrator.
Once configured, all counselors with the Communications Manager role can use advanced email features from the Email Center of the Counselor application.
Basic Email vs. Advanced Email Features Comparison
Basic Email | Advanced Email |
School has not entered and verified their domain(s) for sending emails via Scoir | School has entered and verified their domain(s) for sending emails via Scoir |
Emails are sent from automated@scoir.com | You have the choice to send emails from your school’s domain (the part of your email after the @ symbol) OR from automated@scoir.com |
Emails are sent to registered Scoir users only | When sending from your work email address, emails are sent to all individuals, regardless of Scoir registration status |
Setting up Advanced Email
Your Email Domain
Your domain is the part of an email address that comes after the "@" symbol. For personal emails, it’s often gmail.com, outlook.com or yahoo.com. Businesses, organizations, and institutions usually have their own email domain. As an example, the domain used by Scoir employees for sending emails is scoir.com.
For example purposes we will use abchighschool.org.
Verifying your email domain
Verifying your email domain allows us to connect your domain for communication through Scoir. This requires adding your email domain and having someone from your administration or IT team update your DNS configuration with the provided records.
Step 1: Enter Your School’s Domain
- In Scoir, go to More > Account Settings
- Scroll down to the Advanced Email section
- Type your school’s domain in the text box and click the checkmark to save
Step 2: Update DNS configuration
Once you enter the domain, you’ll see two options for sharing the DNS records with your IT team in order for them to update the DNS configuration:
Option 1: Access Text Records
Use this option to view and copy the DNS text records. You can either update your DNS configuration directly or email the records to your IT administrator.
Option 2: Send as Email
Select this option if you’d like Scoir to send the DNS text records directly to your IT administrator. Simply enter their first and last name, along with their email address.
Scoir will email the DNS records with a summary of Scoir and instructions for the recipient. You’ll be Cc’d on this email for reference (see example of email below).
Update the DNS Configuration
Below is a quick how-to video that shows Scoir updating our DNS configuration for a similar purpose. We authorized a third party vendor to send mass emails through our domain so the emails received are branded Scoir (@scoir.com) and so the receiving email client (e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, AOL, iCloud, and Zoho) doesn't flag those messages as spam.
How to Use Advanced Email
- Make sure you have been assigned the Communication Manager Role in the User Settings
- Confirm that advanced email integration has been set-up and enabled
- Confirm that your Scoir account email matches the domain at your school as in the example below
- Communications Manager’s email in Scoir is jsmith@abchighschool.org
- The school’s verified domain is abchighschool.org
- That’s a match! This user can send emails to ALL intended recipients (not just registered Scoir users) using their school email address.
Frequently Asked Questions
What domain should we use to verify?
That decision is really up to your school. Generally, the IT administrator at your school/district or the IT services company that your school uses will drive this decision.
With that said, Scoir recommends using a subdomain, like "mail.abchighschool.org", in order to protect your root domain (e.g. abchighschool.org) from being flagged as spam. The root domain can be used, but it increases the likelihood of possible issues with that domain.
As an example, automated emails that are sent from Scoir to you and your students/guardians are sent through a Scoir subdomain: mail.scoir.com. This is done to protect our root domain, scoir.com, in the event the automated emails are flagged as spam by the recipient or by the recipient’s email client.
Why does my school need to verify its domain before we can send emails from that domain?
This verification allows emails to reach the intended recipient, rather than run the risk of being marked as spam by the recipient’s email client. Additionally, it maintains Scoir’s reputation as a platform sending communication on behalf of customers (you and your school!).
