Parents already read WhatsApp. Schoollog puts your school there properly: attendance alerts, fee reminders with a payment link, circulars, homework and report cards sent from your school's own verified number, straight from the data already in Schoollog. Parents can reply, and every reply reaches the right person. No groups to manage, no personal numbers exposed, no app to download.
Good morning. Aarav was marked absent today in Class 6-B. Reply 1 if you know, 2 to talk to the class teacher.
8:43 AM1, he has a fever
8:45 AMThank you. Leave noted for today. Get well soon, Aarav.
8:45 AMWhatsApp for education means schools using WhatsApp as an official channel to reach parents and students. Done properly, it runs through the WhatsApp Business Platform from the school's own verified number, and every message, from absence alerts to fee reminders and report cards, is sent automatically from school records.
Most school messaging is a one-way loudspeaker. Parents receive a notice, and if they have a question, they call the office or message a teacher's personal number. Schoollog is built for replies.
Parents can reply to any message in their own words. A reply to an absence alert is recorded as a leave note. A reply to a PTM invitation books the slot. A question about fees goes to the accounts office, and a question about homework goes to the class teacher, each with the student's context attached. Staff answer from Schoollog on their phone or computer, so teachers never have to share their personal numbers, and every conversation stays on record with the school.
For parents, it feels like messaging the school. For the school, every reply lands in the right place and nothing gets lost in a chat scroll.
Class WhatsApp groups are how most Indian schools communicate today. They are free, familiar and quick to set up. They also create problems every Principal recognises.
Is tomorrow a holiday?
Good morning 🌻

SchoollogOne-to-one updates
Important notices get buried.
A fee deadline sits between forty thank you messages and a good-morning image. Parents miss it, then call the office.
Everyone's phone number is visible.
In a regular group, every parent can usually see every other parent's number, along with the teacher's personal number. That is a privacy risk the school carries, especially under the DPDP Act.
Teachers are on call around the clock.
Once a teacher's personal number is in a group, parents message it at night, on Sundays and during holidays.
Nothing is personal.
A group cannot tell one parent that their child was absent or that their fee is due. So those messages go out one by one, by hand, or not at all.
There is no record.
The school cannot see who read a notice, who replied, or what a teacher promised a parent last month. When a teacher leaves, the group history leaves with them.
Nobody controls it.
Forwards, arguments and off-topic posts reflect on the school, and moderating twenty class groups is nobody's job.
Groups are fine for casual chat among parents. For official communication, a school needs messages that are personal, private, on record and sent from the school's own number. That is what the WhatsApp Business Platform, run through Schoollog, provides.
Each channel has a place. The best setup uses all three, with WhatsApp as the default.
Schoollog sends on WhatsApp first. If a parent does not use WhatsApp, the same update goes out by SMS, and parents who prefer the Schoollog app see everything there too. One message from the school reaches every family on the channel that works for them.
Sending messages is the easy part. Deciding what to send, writing it well, and answering what comes back is where staff time goes. Schoollog's AI handles that work, and your staff stay in control.
Tell Schoollog what you want to say in one line, and it drafts the message using what the school already knows: which classes, which parents, whose fee is pending, whose child was absent. Circulars are drafted in the school's tone and personalised for each family. Nothing is sent in the school's name until a staff member approves it. Routine alerts, such as absence notifications, go out automatically only after you switch them on.
Remind Class 8 parents about Friday's science exhibition, and mention the fee due on the 10th only to those who haven't paid
Friday's science exhibition begins at 10 AM. We look forward to welcoming you. Your fee payment is also due on the 10th.
When parents reply, Schoollog reads the message and works out what it needs. Routine questions with an answer in the school's records, such as timings, holidays, homework, fee balance or bus arrival, are answered straight away. Absence explanations are recorded as leave. Anything that needs a person, such as a fee concession request, a complaint or a question about marks, goes to the right staff member with the student's details attached. The office phone rings less, and no parent is left without a reply.

Parents read and reply in the language they are comfortable with. Schoollog sends each family's messages in Hindi or English based on their preference, understands replies in either language, including Hindi written in English letters, and lets staff read every conversation in the language they prefer.
Term 2 fee for Kabir (Class 7-C) is due on 10 October. Pay securely: Pay now
कबीर (कक्षा 7-C) की टर्म 2 फीस 10 अक्टूबर को देय है। सुरक्षित भुगतान करें: अभी भुगतान करेंThe ordinary WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business apps are built for one person on one phone. A school sending thousands of personalised messages a day needs the WhatsApp Business Platform, often called the WhatsApp Business API. Schoollog connects your school to it and runs it for you, so there is nothing for your team to build or host.
Meta's rules protect parents from spam, and Schoollog is set up to follow them: only parents who have opted in are messaged, alerts and reminders use pre-approved templates, and every message is logged. That keeps your school's number in good standing and your parents' trust intact.
Schoollog's team does the setup with you. Your school needs a phone number to use and a few documents for business verification.
Choose a number that is not already on WhatsApp. Schoollog registers it on the WhatsApp Business Platform, completes Meta's business verification with your documents and sets up your school's name and logo.
Pick the messages you want (absence alerts, fee reminders, circulars, report cards) from Schoollog's ready-made library, adjust the wording, and Schoollog submits them to Meta for approval.
Parent numbers come straight from student records in Schoollog. Parents confirm they want updates on WhatsApp, and that consent is stored against each family.
Decide which messages go out automatically and which need approval, set who handles replies, and go live.

Contact UsYes, when parents have agreed to receive messages and the school uses the WhatsApp Business Platform as intended. Schoollog records each parent's consent, sends alerts only through approved templates and keeps a log of every message, which also helps the school meet its duties under the DPDP Act.
No. Parents receive updates, reply and pay fees on WhatsApp, which they already use. Parents who want more detail, such as full marks history or a homework timeline, can also use the Schoollog app.
You can use a number the school owns, as long as it is not currently active on the regular WhatsApp or WhatsApp Business app. Many schools use a new dedicated number so the office landline or a staff phone is not tied up.
Messages are one-to-one and personal, parents cannot see each other's numbers, teachers do not share their personal numbers, and every message and reply is recorded with the school. Important notices are not buried in group chatter.
Yes. Replies are two-way. Routine questions are answered from school records, absence explanations are recorded as leave, and anything that needs a person goes to the right staff member.
Meta charges for WhatsApp Business Platform messages based on the type of message, and these rates change from time to time. Your Schoollog quote shows the messaging cost for your school's expected volume, so there are no surprises.
The same update is sent by SMS instead, and parents who use the Schoollog app see it there too. Every family is covered.
Yes. Each family can receive messages in Hindi or English, and Schoollog understands replies in either language, including Hindi typed in English letters.
Yes. Teachers send and reply from Schoollog on their phone or computer. Parents see the school's number, never the teacher's, and the conversation stays on record with the school.
It depends mainly on Meta's business verification and template approval. Schoollog handles both, and prepares your parent list and automations in parallel so you can start as soon as approvals come through.
Tell us about your school, and we will show you your own attendance alerts, fee reminders and circulars going out on WhatsApp, with replies coming back and landing in the right place.
