These days, schools use WhatsApp groups to send information to parents about university rules, exam schedules, and university event updates.

But if we want to send the same information to all parents of college students? So imagine there are 1000 students in a school and I want to send the school day schedule to all the parents. That’s where WhatsApp groups fall short. Or you could use WhatsApp streaming but that is capped at 256 contacts! But, this takes a long time. Due to the need for the teacher of the whole class to collect the details of the message and the contact details of the person in question and the need to add the contact details of the parents in a personal phone and having to create a group or transmit and then send a message. Phew!

And still, there are so many universities that do not use this benefit of WhatsApp. As I saw, all teachers have to call parents to inform them about the student/parent council program and they have to take confirmation of whether or not they will attend the program.

The teaching job is hard enough as it is. Teachers must also teach subjects, in addition to being active in other school activities, they must call and inform parents and get confirmation of some events. This really makes life difficult for teachers.

Nowadays, many new tools or software have been developed, by using them we can reach many people in a second. Not only is this more effective, but it can be a great time saver for overworked teachers. WhatsApp marketing and WhatsApp Chabot are some examples of tools that could help.

Are you wondering what is WhatsApp marketing and WhatsApp chatbot?

Let me introduce you to these tools! whatsapp marketing it is nothing more than marketing or promotion of your brand through WhatsApp. Since I gave examples above related to schools, I will continue with the same topic. For example, an academic year is about to start and you have a new course this year. So how will you promote it? Using traditional marketing means you’ll put up a banner outside the university or place an ad in the newspaper. But will that hit the expected admission rates? Maybe or maybe not. But if you have 1000 contacts and want to promote your course details through them, WhatsApp marketing will be the best tool. By using the WhatsApp marketing tool, you can send mass messages to more than 1000 contacts.

now comes to whatsapp chatbot, is an automatic response from WhatsApp. For example, if you want to invite parents to a parent/student council program and want them to confirm whether or not they will attend. You can then send a message using WhatsApp Marketing as:

Hello, this is the “mention the name of the university” call that invites you to attend the student/parent council program on “mention the date and time”. Please confirm your presence by sending Yes gold No.

Once they send the reply, it will connect directly to the WhatsApp Chatbot and the Chabot will do the rest of the work. If there is any change in the event time or any other details about the event, Chabot will automatically send the update. It will work as if you subscribed to the YouTube channel and you will receive the notification of recent video from that channel.

With the use of this tool, the work of teachers will be much easier and they will be able to count how many people will attend the program.
