Workchat for Admissions
Transcripts, recommendations, deposits, orientation forms — Workchat keeps every applicant moving on WhatsApp, in their language, on their phone, until the file is complete.
Free for your first 30 days, up to 100 applicants.
The pain
Yield is decided in the silent two weeks between the offer letter and the deposit deadline. Email reads stop. Portals get forgotten. Parents call to ask things students were too shy to ask.
Every melted admit is a real number — for a bootcomp at $12K tuition, ten lost cohort spots is a six-figure hole. And the team chasing them is your most expensive person.
A real applicant thread
The moment a student is admitted, Workchat opens a thread on WhatsApp — the app they actually answer.
Transcripts, recommendation chasers, deposit reminders, visa documents, orientation prep — every step gets walked through. When the student asks "what is an I-20?", Workchat explains. When their parent needs to be looped in, Workchat handles the warm intro.
No portal logins, no missed deadlines.
The math
walks out the door every time an admitted student melts before deposit.
in yield is what one good closing thread can buy you per cohort.
Recover one admit per cohort. Workchat pays for itself.
How it works
CSV from your CRM or SIS, or paste names. Tell us deadlines and the document checklist for each program.
Personal WhatsApp threads chase deposits, gather transcripts, answer visa questions, loop in parents — in the student's language.
A live dashboard shows file completeness, who needs human help, and which students just need one more nudge.
What admissions teams ask first
All applicant data is encrypted in transit and at rest, and stored in a tenant isolated to your institution. We are an authorised WhatsApp Business provider. Full data-handling and FERPA-aligned posture details are shared before pilot.
Yes — WhatsApp is the dominant messaging channel in most of the world. Workchat replies in the language the student writes in, and handles timezone phrasing automatically. Especially strong for India, LATAM, MENA, and Africa-based applicants.
Yes — when the student opts in, Workchat can run a parallel parent thread for financial questions and visa prep, separate from the student's. Especially useful for under-21 admits.
No integration needed to start — bring a CSV. We later add lightweight syncs to Slate, Salesforce Education Cloud, and most SIS exports for institutions that want write-back.
The day offer letters go out. Workchat compounds — every silent student is a future melt. The earlier the thread opens, the warmer the relationship by deposit deadline.
