Onboard new students to your course automatically — on WhatsApp

WhatsPortal runs a complete student onboarding sequence on WhatsApp — welcome message, schedule, portal access, batch details, and first assignment — all delivered automatically the moment a student enrols.

A student who enrols but doesn't engage is a refund waiting to happen.

01

A student enrols in your course. They get an email with login credentials. They log in, feel lost about what to do first, and don't engage for a week. By then, inertia has set in and they're already mentally disengaged.

02

Your onboarding depends on who picks up the new student. Some students get a personal call and walkthrough. Others get an email and nothing. The experience is inconsistent and the outcomes reflect it.

03

New batch launches mean 50–200 students to onboard simultaneously. Your operations team can't give each one individual attention. But everyone needs to feel attended to.

The solution

WhatsPortal delivers a personalised onboarding sequence to every new student on WhatsApp — consistently, automatically, for every batch.

Instant welcome message

The moment a student enrols, WhatsPortal sends a warm welcome — their name, course name, batch details, and what to expect in the first week.

How it works

Streamlined automation in four simple steps.

  1. 01

    Trigger on enrolment

    Connect WhatsPortal to your payment gateway or enrolment system via webhook. Payment confirmation triggers the onboarding sequence automatically.

  2. 02

    The sequence runs without intervention

    Every message in the 7-day onboarding flows to the student at the right time. Your team is notified only if a student replies with a question.

  3. 03

    Students start engaged

    Students who go through a proper onboarding sequence have higher first-class attendance, lower early dropout rates, and better course completion outcomes.

  4. 04

    Sync with student portal

    Onboarding details, fee status, and attendance are instantly synced to your LMS or student database.

FAQ

Common questions about edtech student onboarding

Can I customise the onboarding sequence for different courses?

Yes. Create a separate onboarding flow for each course or programme — each with its own schedule, materials, and messaging. A coding bootcamp onboards differently from a CA coaching programme.

What if a student has a question during onboarding?

When a student replies, the message comes into your shared team inbox. Your admissions or student success team picks it up with full context — they can see the entire onboarding conversation.

Can the onboarding sequence stop if a student completes a step?

Yes. Add conditional logic — if a student confirms they&apos;ve accessed the portal, the &apos;how to access the portal&apos; message is skipped. The sequence adapts to their responses.

What does WhatsPortal cost?
