SMS and WhatsApp

Bulk or to one parent. Coming soon: WhatsApp first, SMS where WhatsApp can’t reach.

Coming soon

How WhatsApp and SMS will work.

Here is the plan, and what already reaches parents today.

Planned

  1. Pick who gets it. The whole school, a class, or one parent.
  2. Type the message. The numbers come from the student records.
  3. Send. By WhatsApp, and by SMS on a registered template where WhatsApp doesn’t reach.
  4. See who got it, parent by parent.
Ask where it stands on a call

Today: email that works

Fee reminders and gate alerts go to each primary guardian by email, in your school’s name.

Why registered templates

Indian SMS rules ask for registered templates. We would rather do that properly than send messages that get blocked.

The numbers are already in

Every guardian’s number is stored with +91 when students come in, ready for the day this switches on.

Timing

When will WhatsApp and SMS be ready?

We don’t give a date until it works. Ask on the demo call and we will tell you where it stands.

Today

How do we reach parents now?

By email: fee reminders and gate alerts go out on their own. Your school’s WhatsApp number can sit on every reminder.

Absences

Will absent alerts come by WhatsApp?

Yes. That is one of the first things it is for.

Charges

Will messages cost extra?

Any message charges will be on the pricing page before it switches on.
