Frequently Asked Questions
How do schools and colleges use WhatsApp API for parent communication?
Schools use WhatsApp Business API to send attendance alerts (present/absent notification within minutes of roll call), exam timetables as PDF attachments, result notifications with grade cards, fee due reminders with payment links, and emergency school closure alerts. WhatsApp's 98% open rate ensures parents see critical messages immediately, unlike email which averages 20% open rates.
Can edtech platforms use SMS for course enrollment and OTP login?
Yes. Edtech platforms use ConnexBetter for OTP-based login and registration (student verification), course enrollment confirmations, live class reminders (10 minutes before a session), assignment deadline reminders, and certificate delivery links. SMS is the most reliable notification channel because it works without app installation or internet connectivity — critical for Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities.
What types of education institutions use ConnexBetter?
ConnexBetter is used by K-12 schools (parent communication, attendance, fee alerts), engineering and medical colleges (admission, exam, result notifications), edtech platforms (OTP login, live class reminders, course completions), coaching centres (batch reminders, test schedules, result announcements), and competitive exam prep platforms (JEE, NEET, UPSC) for study schedule nudges and mock test results.
How do coaching centres use bulk SMS for student engagement?
Coaching centres send batch-start reminders to enrolled students, test schedule announcements, rank and percentile updates after mock exams, motivational messages before high-stakes exams, and promotional SMS to leads who enquired but did not enrol. Automated WhatsApp sequences handle doubt-solving session reminders and teacher-student Q&A channel activation.
Is ConnexBetter's SMS DLT-registered for education institutions?
Yes. ConnexBetter handles TRAI DLT registration for education sender IDs and templates. We register both transactional templates (fee receipts, OTP, attendance) and promotional templates (admission campaigns, new batch announcements). Our team assists with DLT compliance documentation — required since 2021 for all SMS sent in India.
