- Conversions API integrated for optimised ad delivery

- Admission Bot
Auto-Qualify Every Admission Inquiry in Under 60 Seconds
Stop wasting counsellor hours on “just asking” inquiries. Every parent gets the same qualification flow – grade, board, current school, budget, location, admission timeline – and only serious ones reach a human.
- Grade / class (Nursery, KG, 1–12, UG, PG, competitive prep)
- Board preference (CBSE, ICSE, State, IB, Cambridge)
- Budget range and scholarship interest
- Preferred location and campus preference
- Admission timeline (this session / next session)
Use case: A CBSE school chain cut counsellor time-per-inquiry from 14 min to 3 min by qualifying in the bot first – and 4× the number of campus visits with the same team.
- Daily Updates
Book Campus Visits & Counsellor Sessions Inside the Chat
- Real-time counsellor / campus tour slot availability
- Auto-assign to grade-appropriate counsellor
- Google / Outlook calendar sync
- 24-hour reminder cuts no-shows by 40%
- One-tap reschedule and cancellation
- Result: 3–5× more campus visits booked vs phone-call follow-up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can schools and coaching institutes use WhatsApp for admissions?
Yes. With the WhatsApp Business API and a platform like WapNotify, schools, coaching institutes, colleges, and edtech brands can run Click-to-WhatsApp admission ads on Facebook and Instagram, auto-qualify inquiries with a chatbot in 60 seconds, book campus visits inside the chat, and route hot leads to the right counsellor – on a channel where 83% of Indian parents prefer to be contacted.
Is WhatsApp marketing legal for schools in India?
How does WhatsApp help with school fee collection?
WapNotify automates the entire fee reminder cycle – 7 days before due date, 1 day before, on the due date, and late-fee escalation. Each reminder includes a one-tap UPI, card, or netbanking payment link. Once paid, a receipt is auto-delivered on WhatsApp and marked in your school ERP. Schools typically see fee payment rates rise from 21% within 24 hours (email) to 62% within 24 hours (WhatsApp).
Can I send timetables, results, and circulars on WhatsApp?
Yes. WapNotify lets you attach PDFs, images, and videos to any template message. You can send daily timetables, individual report cards, exam results, holiday circulars, PTM invites, and homework assignments – segmented by grade, batch, or campus. Parents open 95%+ of these messages versus 12% of school emails.
What does WhatsApp cost for a school or coaching institute?
Can I qualify admission leads automatically on WhatsApp?
Yes. WapNotify’s no-code chatbot asks every admission inquiry the right qualification questions – grade, board (CBSE / ICSE / State / IB / Cambridge), current school, budget, preferred location, and admission timeline – and tags the lead automatically. Hot leads matching your criteria are routed to a counsellor within seconds. Cold leads stay in the bot for nurture campaigns and re-engagement in the next admission cycle.
Does WapNotify integrate with school ERPs and LMS platforms?
Can teachers communicate with parents without sharing personal numbers?
