Students and Parents Live on WhatsApp. Your Institution Should Too.

Email inboxes go unchecked. Calls go unanswered. But a WhatsApp message from a school or coaching centre gets read within minutes. Educational institutions that communicate on WhatsApp see dramatically better engagement — from admissions through graduation.

Admissions inquiries going unanswered for hours, losing students to competitors
Fee payment reminders sent by email with poor open and payment rates
Class schedule changes not reaching all students in time
Student support queries piling up with no clear ownership
Parent communication scattered across calls, SMS, and email

WhatsApp Across Every Stage of the Student Journey

From first inquiry to alumni re-engagement.

🎓

Admissions Inquiry Handling

ConvoAI responds to admissions inquiries instantly — sharing course details, eligibility criteria, fee structure, and application links. Routes serious applicants to an admissions counsellor automatically.

💳

Fee Payment Reminders

Send automated payment reminders 7 days, 3 days, and 1 day before due dates. Include the fee amount, due date, and payment link in the message. Reduce late payments and the administrative effort of follow-up calls.

📢

Class Schedule & Update Broadcasts

Send class cancellations, schedule changes, exam dates, and result announcements to all relevant students in one broadcast. Messages arrive in seconds — not buried in an email chain.

📝

Assignment & Exam Reminders

Automated reminders for upcoming assignments, submission deadlines, and exam schedules. Students who receive WhatsApp reminders submit on time at significantly higher rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can ConvoHub handle admissions inquiries automatically?

Yes. ConvoAI reads your published course information, eligibility criteria, fee structure, and FAQs, then answers student inquiries automatically 24/7. When a student is ready to apply or wants to speak to a counsellor, ConvoAI routes the conversation to the right team.

How do I send fee reminders to all students via WhatsApp?

Create a segment of students with upcoming fee due dates (by label or contact attribute in ConvoHub). Create a Utility message template with the amount and due date variables. Run a broadcast to that segment — each student receives a personalised reminder.

Can I communicate with both students and parents separately?

Yes. In ConvoHub, you manage contacts individually. Students and parents are separate contacts with their own conversation histories. You can label and segment them independently for targeted broadcasts.

How many students can I message at once?

New accounts start at 1,000 conversations per 24 hours (Tier 1). This scales to 10,000 and beyond as your account quality improves. Most educational institutions reach Tier 2 within 30–60 days of consistent, opted-in messaging.
