Admissions lead qualification flow
Higher counselling attendance with less wasted counsellor timeA prospective student clicks a Facebook ad for a coaching course and lands in WhatsApp. The first flow captures exam type, target intake month, and whether they want a call or want to see the fee structure.
- High-urgency leads (this intake) are routed to a live counsellor immediately.
- Later-stage leads receive a fee brochure and a calendar invite for a callback.
- Tags applied during qualification feed directly into remarketing flows.
Application and payment nudge sequence
Lower application drop-off between counselling and enrolmentAfter a counselling session, the prospective student receives step-by-step application status updates and payment reminders if documents or fees are pending.
- Students who go silent after the counselling session are re-engaged with a deadline reminder.
- Support replies from students are routed back to the same counsellor who handled the intake.
- Payment confirmations are sent automatically once the fee is processed.

Best for
Coaching centers, schools, EdTech
Any education business with a multi-step admissions journey and high enquiry volumes.
Core benefits
Prioritise high-intent admissions enquiries faster
A qualification flow that captures exam type, intake timing, and course interest lets counsellors focus on leads closest to a decision — not every enquiry equally.
Improve counselling session attendance
Counselling no-shows are high when confirmation relies on a calendar invite alone. A WhatsApp reminder with a one-tap reschedule option lowers no-show rates consistently.
Reduce drop-off between application and enrolment
Students who go quiet after starting the application need a different message than those who haven't applied. Segment-aware follow-up with pending-step clarity re-engages more of them.
