What it does
WhatsApp, SMS, and email together
Send on all three channels at once or choose per announcement. WhatsApp alone has a 98% open rate; SMS and email cover parents who prefer them.
Teacher to parent direct messaging
Teachers and parents message each other within the app. Personal phone numbers stay private. All conversations are logged for admin review.
Scheduled announcements and circulars
Write an announcement now and schedule it for tomorrow morning. Send to all parents, a specific class, or individual students.
Read receipts and delivery reports
See which parents received and read each announcement across WhatsApp, SMS, and email. Follow up with unread recipients with one click.
How it works
Connect your channels
Your school's WhatsApp Business number, SMS gateway, and email sender are linked to ChalkPis once during setup.
Compose and send in seconds
Select recipients, write the message, attach a file if needed, and send. WhatsApp, SMS, and email all go out simultaneously.
Track delivery and reads
The message dashboard shows sent, delivered, and read counts live per channel. See which parents missed the message and follow up.
Frequently asked questions
Does this use the official WhatsApp Business API?
Yes. ChalkPis uses the official WhatsApp Cloud API (Meta). Messages send from your verified school business number and are not at risk of being blocked.
Is there a message limit?
Limits depend on your WhatsApp Business API tier. ChalkPis does not add any limit. Schools with larger parent populations are moved to higher-tier API access as needed.
Can teachers message parents without sharing phone numbers?
Yes. All messaging between teachers and parents happens within the ChalkPis app. Neither party can see the other's personal phone number.
Can we send documents and images?
Yes. Circulars, timetables, result PDFs, and images can be attached to any message. File size limit is 16 MB per message.
