Message Delivery Statuses

Overview

Message delivery statuses display on the SS&E page https://yourinstitution.avisoapp.com/aviso/app/admin/messageReport in SS&E Messaging Administration and provide information about what happened with an email or an SMS message.
Note: Replace yourInstitution with your SSE/Aviso domain displayed in a working URL. For more details, click Support Articles include Broken Links with 'yourInstitution'.

  • For help troubleshooting why text messages are not sending, click Text Messages are Not Sending.
  • To view Message Report Erros Code explanations, click Message Report Error Codes.
  • If Sent Messages need to be recalled, that is not handled by SS&E.
    • If needed, please reach out to your institutional Email Administrator to find out if they can work with your external provider to help recall sent messages.
  • If sent messages are missing from the Message Report searching the message report by the date range, then the messages did not reach SS&E and were not processed by the system.
    • Selecting a message record Id from the Message Report will display the message body which allows Admin users to see the exact message.
