Frequently asked questions
What is official school WhatsApp communication?
Official WhatsApp communication gives a school a verified business presence on the platform its parents already use all day: broadcasts, reminders, and two-way conversations managed from a shared inbox rather than a rebbi's personal phone. In frum communities, WhatsApp is where messages actually get read.
Why WhatsApp instead of email for school messages?
Because that's where your parent body lives. In our communities WhatsApp messages get read within minutes while emails wait days — one send from the official line is typically 97–98% read inside 20 minutes. The platform meets parents where they already are instead of training them to check another inbox.
Is this the same as a class WhatsApp group?
No. It's an official school number with a managed shared inbox: staff coverage, conversation history on the family record, and professional separation from anyone's personal phone — the structure groups lack.
Can WhatsApp messages be automated?
Yes. Tuition reminders, absence notifications, and form chases send automatically through Meta-approved WhatsApp templates, and replies route to the team inbox. True marketing blasts route to SMS and email instead — that protects your school's WhatsApp number, per WhatsApp's own policies.
Does WhatsApp messaging cost extra?
Email is included; texting and WhatsApp are priced per message after carrier approval — we confirm your allowance at onboarding.
