Parents expect to know quickly if a child reached school. SMS blasts are expensive; WhatsApp is where Indian families already chat. PAYA Campus opens a pre-filled WhatsApp message after each mark — present, late, or absent.

Instant alerts

When a teacher marks roll, a student checks in on mobile, or the gate kiosk scans a face, the system triggers a wa.me link with the child’s name, time, and status. Staff send one tap to the parent number on file (or connect Meta Cloud API for fully automatic delivery).

Sibling families

Students sharing the same parent phone appear together on the parent dashboard — no separate login per child. Teachers who are also parents can see linked children on the staff app home screen.
