WhatsApp has often been associated with impersonal and casual conversations. But what if you could use this small technology to create a big impact in your educational institution? It helps to strengthen the bond between teachers, students and parents. Not to mention the smooth interactions that help to keep everyone informed about small and big news of the institute.

Tracking students' attendance, informing teachers about class schedules, inviting faculty and students to events, sharing reports, sharing exam information, etc are just a few of the benefits WhatsApp Automation can provide you. It reduces the workload to bare minimum and helps automate most of the administrative recurring tasks that often get boring with time.

​WhatsApp is being used by almost everyone in the world; every student, teacher, professional and business owner uses WhatsApp to communicate with each other daily. This makes WhatsApp an ideal platform to be an interactive communication channel.

Improved communication: WhatsApp can be used to improve communication between teachers, students, and parents. Teachers can send important announcements, reminders, and assignments directly to students' phones. Parents can stay up-to-date on their child's progress and school activities.

Increased engagement: WhatsApp can help to increase student engagement. Students are more likely to read and respond to messages sent through WhatsApp than they are to traditional emails or school website announcements.

Personalized learning: You can share personalised messages to faculty and students about their courses, their results, reports and much more. This can help teachers to even keep parents in loop about a child’s progress, so parents can focus on them at home.

Admissions: Promoting new courses to prospective students through WhatsApp can be a game-changer. You can collect information about students and even use chatbots to create interactive communication with students.

Reminders: Using WhatsApp Automation, you can also schedule reminders about exams, tests, document submissions, event approvals and much more. Along with these, you can also send fee notifications and anything that you need students and faculty to be reminded about.

Improved efficiency: WhatsApp automation can save educators time and effort. Automated messages can be used to answer common questions, send reminders, and collect feedback.

Accessibility: WhatsApp is accessible to students and parents around the world, even in areas with limited internet access. This makes it a valuable tool for reaching underserved communities.

Cost-effective: WhatsApp is a relatively inexpensive way to communicate with students and parents. There are no monthly fees or per-message charges.

Security: WhatsApp messages are encrypted, which means that they are only visible to the sender and recipient. This makes it a secure way to communicate sensitive information.

​Management & Administration: Managerial and administrative tasks can get a little tedious sometimes but WhatsApp Automation can easily handle them. You can Automate routine tasks, reduce paperwork, create reports for different departments, promote new events and much more.​

Automation plays an important role in the educational section. With hundreds of students and tons of faculty members, you cannot send every individual a personalised message. Using WhatsApp Automation, you can use a chatbot to deliver messages to everyone based on the data you have available. You can send periodic messages for things like attendance reports or scheduled messages through campaigns. This helps to eliminate errors and assures deliveries using analytical reports.

WhatsFlow has partnered with WhatsApp to provide you with an Official WhatsApp API. This helps you to create your chatbots, manage user data, run campaigns and stay in touch with everyone using Unified Team Inbox.

You can run the template message given through campaigns or Broadcasts to every concerned individual.
