SMS Bot for Education
Schools, colleges, and training centers receive repetitive inquiries about schedules, holidays, enrollment, and contact information. SMS Bot handles these automatically.
Example Keywords and Replies
| Keyword | Reply Type | Example Response |
|---|---|---|
bus | Dynamic webhook | Returns bus route and boarding time for the student's registered number |
holiday | Static text | "Upcoming holidays: Spring Break Mar 15–22, Easter Apr 3. Full calendar: [url]" |
teacher | Menu | "Reply 1 for Math, 2 for Science, 3 for English, 4 for Administration" |
enroll | Static text | "Enrollment for Fall 2026 opens April 1. Apply at [enrollment-url]." |
grades | Dynamic webhook | Fetches latest grade summary from student information system |
Setup Approach
- Start with static replies for holidays, office hours, and enrollment dates.
- Add webhook integrations to pull student-specific data (bus routes, grades) from your SIS.
- Create a main menu for parents who aren't sure what keyword to use.
