WhatsApp enquiries, registrations and fee reminders for coaching centres in Tirunelveli

Mathankumar K, Playbot Pro, Salem 2 min read

Admissions season in Palayamkottai means the same ten questions from a thousand parents, in Tamil, mostly after 8 p.m. Playbot answers them from the centre's own notes, takes the registration in a WhatsApp form, sends the fee reminder with a payment link on the due date, and gives the counsellors only the parents who asked for a call.

The parent at 9 p.m.

Train the AI agent on your own notes: batches, fees, timings, hostel, bus routes, results. It answers in Tamil or English, in the parent's words, and hands over to a counsellor in the inbox when a question is outside the notes or when the parent asks for a call. See AI bot builder.

Registration without a form on paper

A flow inside WhatsApp takes the student's name, class, course and preferred batch; a payment link takes the registration fee; the confirmation goes out with the start date and the material list; the counsellor sees the registration in a pipeline from "enquiry" to "joined".

Fees on time, without the phone call

Fee reminders go out as templates on the due date with a payment link, in Tamil; the payment is reconciled automatically; the second reminder goes only to those who have not paid. Hostel fees run the same way monthly.

Circulars, timetables and results

Holiday notices, test timetables and results go out as approved templates to parents who opted in, as a broadcast by batch. Replies come back into the inbox as normal chats, so a parent's question after a circular reaches a person.

What it costs

The Playbot plan plus Meta's charge per template message; a centre sending a monthly fee reminder and a few circulars spends a few rupees per student a year. Plans are on the pricing page; the trial is 14 days.

Questions we get asked

Can the bot answer only from our material and nothing else?

Yes. The AI agent is limited to the notes you give it and hands over when a question is outside them.

Can broadcasts go by batch?

Yes. Parents are tagged by batch and a broadcast goes to one tag.

Can a parent pay fees in instalments?

Yes. Each instalment is a reminder with its own payment link on its own date.

Is parent data stored safely?

Playbot runs on Google Cloud. Ask the team for the data-handling details your management needs.
