How education & edtech messages customers
01Real scenarios
Fee due reminder
A reminder to parents ahead of a term's fee deadline.
Class or exam schedule update
A same-day change notice sent to an entire batch.
Attendance alert
A same-day notice to a parent when a student is marked absent.
Admission enquiry follow-up
A response to a prospective family after they enquire.
02Channel mix
| Moment | Channel | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Fee due | SMS and WhatsApp | WhatsApp for the fee link and receipt; SMS reaches every parent's phone. |
| Schedule update | SMS | Short, and reaches parents without needing a school app open. |
| Attendance alert | SMS | Needs to be fast and simple, sent the same day. |
| Enquiry follow-up | WhatsApp chatbot | Handles routine questions and hands off to a counsellor for serious enquiries. |
03Sector compliance notes
Messages to parents about an enrolled student are service communication, not marketing — but follow-ups to prospective families are promotional and need consent and DND-scrubbing.
Fee reminders carrying a payment link must declare the URL pattern at template registration; a per-student dynamic link needs the dynamic-URL template category.
Bulk schedule updates sent to a whole batch still map to an approved template per message type, since content changes from term to term.
Regional-language communication to parents, common outside metro schools, changes SMS segment count and should be quoted for in advance.
