Good to know

Frequently asked questions

Short, honest answers to what business owners ask us most.

How can a school automate enrollment follow-up?

A page captures interested families and sorts them by stage, from first question to school tour to enrollment. Automatic messages by WhatsApp and email keep each family informed while they decide, and the school’s team sees who is ready for a call.

Can a language academy answer course questions outside office hours?

Yes. A voice agent or WhatsApp assistant explains courses, schedules and levels at any hour, and books a trial class or a visit. A short online level test can also recommend the right course to each prospective student of the academy.

How do I send progress updates to parents automatically?

Teachers note each student’s progress in a few taps, and every family gets a short weekly summary by WhatsApp. Parents stay informed about their child at the school or academy without teachers answering messages one by one.
