Absent alert to parents on WhatsApp in brief
Absent alerts to parents on WhatsApp are same-day notices telling a guardian that their child was marked absent, and WappBlaster sends them through Student Management AI, its Android app for schools and coaching centres. The differentiator is the trigger: the notice is tied to the attendance register itself, so marking a student absent is the only step a teacher takes, and nobody at the front desk types or forwards anything. Each notice carries four details, namely the student's name, the date, the batch and a desk number the parent can ring back. Guardians agree to academic updates on WhatsApp in the admission form, and every student profile can hold a primary and a secondary guardian number, so both parents see the same alert. Plans cost ₹2499 ($22.99) a year after a 3-day trial, and the institute keeps an audit trail of which notices left the phone and at what time.
Teachers mark attendance, and every student recorded absent triggers a WhatsApp template to the guardian with the date, batch and a callback desk number, sent the same day.
Student Management AI from WappBlaster sends each absence notice from an Android phone, with plans starting at ₹2499 ($22.99) yearly.
