The problem

Where admissions and attendance slip

Families decide fast. Most lost students are lost to a slow reply or a notice nobody saw, not to a better program.

Inquiries that go cold overnight

A parent fills out your form at 10pm and messages three other centers the same night. The first to reply usually gets the demo class.

Notices lost in muted groups

A class moves and the notice goes to a group chat half the parents muted months ago. On Monday, the room is half empty.

Fee follow-ups nobody enjoys

Chasing overdue fees by phone is awkward for everyone. Printed notices and emails get ignored until the week of the deadline.

Automations

WhatsApp for education: six flows for schools and coaching classes

Every flow below is prebuilt: copy, delays and stop rules included. Connect your inquiry form and calendar, adjust, publish.

Instant reply to inquiries

A new inquiry from your website or an ad form gets a reply within seconds, with program details and a demo-class button. Grade and subject answers become labels for counselors.

Demo class and counseling reminders

Confirmation for every demo or campus visit, a reminder the day before, and a follow-up an hour after class with the enrollment link.

How it works →

Fee payment reminders

Your fee system or a Zap passes Recoverly the families with fees due; each gets a polite utility reminder with the amount and a payment link, never a group message.

Class schedule changes

Room changes, canceled classes and exam schedules reach each family individually, not a muted group. Import the batch by CSV or trigger it from your scheduling tool.

Course reminders and drips

For online courses: login details at enrollment, a first-lesson nudge at 48 hours and a check-in at 72. Longer programs trigger a reminder from your course platform whenever a new module goes live.

AI answers on admissions

Fees, batch timings, eligibility, transport and documents, answered from your prospectus and FAQs in the family's language. Questions about a specific student go to admissions.

From inquiry to enrollment in one week

Speed wins the demo class; attendance and timely follow-up win the enrollment. This sequence covers both and stops when the family replies or enrolls. See how the automation builder handles waits and stop rules.

  • Minute 1. Program details, fee range and a Book a demo button.
  • Demo booked. Room, teacher and what to bring; a reminder 24 hours before.
  • 1 hour after the demo. Enrollment link and the start date of the next batch.
  • 48 hours later, no reply. Seats left in the batch and a counselor call offer.
  • 72 hours after that. A last check-in, then monthly updates only if they opted in.

Getting started

Live this week

01

Bring your admissions number

Keep the number families already have. Meta's signup takes about two minutes, and the office phone keeps its WhatsApp app.

02

Connect forms, calendar and fees

Inquiry forms and ad leads through Zapier or a webhook, demo bookings through Calendly or Cal.com, fee lists by CSV or from your billing system.

03

Add your prospectus and publish

Give the AI your programs, fees, timings and FAQs, set quiet hours for school nights, and switch the flows on.

FAQ

WhatsApp for education, asked and answered

By replying first and following up consistently. Recoverly answers each inquiry within seconds with a demo-class button, reminds the family the day before, sends the enrollment link after the demo, and follows up at 48 and 72 hours until they reply or enroll.
Yes. Fee reminders, schedule changes and exam notices go to each family individually from a Meta-approved template instead of a group chat. Families see only their own child's details, and read receipts show who has seen what.
For anything official, yes. Groups get muted, show every parent's number to the whole group and can't tell you who read a notice. Recoverly messages each family one to one and routes replies to a shared inbox, where the AI assistant answers routine questions.
Yes. A new enrollment can trigger login details, a first-lesson nudge after 48 hours and a check-in after 72. For longer programs, your course platform sends a webhook or Zapier event when a new module goes live, and Recoverly sends the reminder.
Inquiry replies, demo reminders, fee notices and schedule changes relate to something the family started with you. Newsletters and offers are marketing, so they need an opt-in first, and STOP is honored instantly. See campaigns.
Lite costs $19/month and includes all automations, the AI assistant and a shared inbox for your office. Broadcasts to opted-in families are included in Lite; Pro, at $49/month, adds integrations such as Zapier and priority support. No seat fees, no message caps, and Meta's own charges are billed at cost (pricing guide). Early access to the web app is rolling out; get started here.
