WhatsApp for Education & coaching institutes
Schools and coaching institutes run most parent and student communication over WhatsApp already, informally. BotPulsar makes that official: a shared inbox for the admissions and admin team, structured broadcasts for announcements, and document collection for admission paperwork.
What education & coaching institutes teams run into on WhatsApp today
Admission enquiries scattered across personal staff phones with no shared record or follow-up tracking.
Fee reminders sent manually, one parent at a time, or not sent at all until payment is overdue.
Class or holiday announcements need to reach every parent reliably, not get buried in an email nobody opens.
Built for education & coaching institutes
Admission enquiry pipeline
Every enquiry lands in a shared inbox with a CRM pipeline stage, owner and follow-up task, instead of a staff member's personal chat history.
Fee and document collection
Send fee-due reminders as an approved template, and collect admission documents with secure file collection and OCR extraction.
Broadcast announcements
Holiday notices, exam schedules and event reminders go out as a segmented broadcast to parents, with delivery status visible per recipient.
AI FAQ agent for common questions
An AI agent grounded in your own admission and fee policy documents answers repetitive parent questions instantly, handing off anything it is unsure of.
Attendance and exam-result delivery
Absence alerts and exam-result notifications go out as approved templates the moment attendance or marks are entered, instead of a printed notice that reaches a parent days later.
WhatsApp for education & coaching institutes: common questions
How much does WhatsApp API cost for a school or coaching institute?
BotPulsar's Growth plan is ₹999/month with unlimited staff seats, on top of which Meta charges its own per-message rate — about ₹0.115 for a utility message such as a fee reminder or attendance alert, and ₹0.8631 for a marketing-category broadcast. A school sending 2,000 utility messages a month pays roughly ₹999 platform fee plus ₹290 in Meta charges, with no per-seat cost as more staff join.
Can we notify parents automatically when a student is absent?
Yes. An absence alert can be triggered as an approved template the moment attendance is marked, so parents are notified the same day rather than through an end-of-week summary.
Can we send exam results to parents over WhatsApp?
Yes. Exam-result notifications can go out as a segmented broadcast the moment marks are entered, with delivery status visible per parent so the office can confirm who has and hasn't received it.
Can we send fee reminders to parents automatically?
Yes, as an approved WhatsApp template triggered by a workflow automation on a due date or overdue schedule.
Can multiple staff members share one WhatsApp number?
Yes. The shared inbox supports unlimited team members on every plan, with assignment so each enquiry has one clear owner.
Can we track an admission enquiry from first message to enrolment?
Yes. Every enquiry lands in the shared inbox with a CRM pipeline stage, owner and follow-up task, so it does not sit only in a staff member's personal chat history.
How do we collect admission documents securely over WhatsApp?
Secure file collection with OCR extraction lets parents submit admission paperwork directly in chat, attached to the student's contact record instead of a scattered email inbox.
Can an AI agent answer repetitive parent questions?
Yes. An AI agent grounded in your own admission and fee policy documents answers common questions instantly, and hands off to staff for anything it is unsure of.
Can we send a holiday or exam-schedule notice to every parent at once?
Yes, as a segmented broadcast with delivery status visible per recipient, so you can confirm the notice actually reached parents rather than an email that goes unopened.
