We’ve released two new updates to Tapestry designed to give you more control over your account and make managing your data even simpler. New Account Management section We’ve introduced a new Account Management area, giving managers more control over subscriptions without needing to contact Customer Service. You can now find this in: Help > Account > Account Management. From here, managers can: Upgrade your subscription Downgrade your subscription Add the Wonde integration These actions can now be completed within your account, making it quicker and easier to manage your subscription. Learn more MIS integration via Wonde You can now connect Tapestry to your MIS using Wonde, allowing you to automatically sync key parent and child data. This integration supports systems such as Bromcom, Arbor, and SIMS, and helps keep your records up to date with minimal manual input. Once enabled, the following data can be synced: Parent data (e.g. name, email address, relationship to the child) Child data (e.g. name, date of birth, classroom group, profile picture) The integration is optional and is not enabled by default. Please note: As this is a Wonde integration (rather than a built-in Tapestry feature), there is a small annual fee of £60 to enable and maintain the secure connection. Learn more -
