The problem: school notices lost in busy WhatsApp groups
Many schools in Bangladesh already reach families on WhatsApp, usually through class groups or a staff member's own phone. It works for quick chat, but important notices get buried, and the school doesn't control the number.
Notices get buried
In a busy class group, an exam notice sits between dozens of replies, and many parents never scroll up to see it.
Every number is on show
Everyone in a group can see every member's phone number, and not every family is happy with that.
The school doesn't own the number
When notices go from a teacher's personal phone, the contacts and the message history leave with that teacher.
Sending one by one takes hours
A fee reminder copied and pasted to every guardian of a class, chat by chat, takes an afternoon, and sending too fast can get a number restricted.
How EduFusion solves it
EduFusion links your school's own WhatsApp number and sends each family a separate message, to the people each student's preference names. Campaigns go out at a steady, safe pace, and the logs show what was delivered.
Before
Class groups, a staff member's phone and messages copied and pasted one chat at a time.
With EduFusion
One campaign from the school's own number. Each guardian gets a separate message, and the logs show its status.
What's inside EduFusion's WhatsApp for schools
Everything the office needs to reach families on WhatsApp without giving out the school's contacts or borrowing a staff member's phone.
Send WhatsApp notices to parents from your own number
Open Connect WhatsApp and scan the QR code with the school's phone. The code refreshes every 20 seconds, Cancel removes a link you didn't scan, and Disconnect removes only your institute's link. Institutes never share a number.
General messages, fee reminders and announcements
Choose the campaign type, write the message and send it. Use a fee reminder when dues build up; you can see who still owes in fee management. Results go out on their own when you publish them: see exam results on WhatsApp.
One class, several classes or the whole school
Send to students you pick, or class-wise to one class, several classes or all of them. Picking students suits a message only a few families need, such as telling guardians that their child hasn't come to school today.
The right guardian for every student
Each student's WhatsApp preference decides who receives messages: the Student, Father, Mother and/or one or more custom numbers. You can set it on the student's record or in a CSV import.
A safe pace that protects your number
EduFusion sends about one message every 18–40 seconds per institute, roughly 90–200 an hour, with a typing pause. Institutes send side by side, so another school's campaign doesn't hold yours up.
Pause, status and delivery logs
Pause a campaign when you need to, and check its status and delivery log to see which messages went out.
Only your own current students
Campaigns reach only your institute's current students and their contacts, so a message can't go to anyone outside your school.
How it works
- Open Connect WhatsApp and scan the QR code with the school's phone.
- Check each student's WhatsApp preference: Student, Father, Mother or a custom number.
- Create a campaign and choose its type: general message, fee reminder or announcement.
- Pick the audience: chosen students, or one, several or all classes.
- Start the campaign; EduFusion sends about one message every 18–40 seconds.
- Follow the status and delivery logs, and pause the campaign if you need to.
Why EduFusion for school WhatsApp messages
Where families already chat
Messages arrive in the WhatsApp chats families already use, from a number they can save as the school's.
Your number, nobody else's
Each institute links its own number. Institutes never share one, and you can disconnect whenever you choose.
Paced to protect the number
About one message every 18–40 seconds, with a typing pause, to keep the school's number safe.
Connected to student records
Classes and guardian numbers come from your student list, and fee reminders sit next to fee management.
Clear price, every feature
From ৳2,499 a month for up to 200 students, with WhatsApp campaigns, fees, results and everything else included.
Try it on your own data
Use it free for 30 days. Link your number and send a notice to one class before you pay anything.
Reaching families: EduFusion vs WhatsApp groups vs notice slips
A class WhatsApp group is quick for two-way chat, and many teachers rely on one. For notices and reminders that every family must see, here is how the options compare.
| What you need | Notice slips and phone calls | Excel list and WhatsApp groups | Separate bulk sender apps | EduFusion |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reach every family in a class | A slip in the bag, which may not arrive | A group post, or chat by chat from the list | Upload the numbers again | Pick the class and start |
| Sent from the school's own number | Calls from the office phone | Often a staff member's phone | Depends on the app | Yes, linked by QR code |
| Right person: father, mother or student | Whoever opens the bag | Whoever is in the group | Whatever numbers you upload | Each student's WhatsApp preference |
| Families' numbers kept private | Yes | Visible to every group member | Depends on the app | Yes, each message is separate |
| A pace that protects the number | Not needed | Depends on who sends | Depends on the app | About one every 18–40 seconds |
| Know what was delivered | No | Ticks, one chat at a time | Depends on the app | Status and delivery logs |
| Only current students | Yes | Old members stay in groups | Any number you upload | Yes, only your own students |
How other school software in Bangladesh handles messaging
None of the 9 Bangladesh-built school management products we checked on 19 October 2026 lists WhatsApp messaging to guardians on its website; where WhatsApp appears, it is a support channel. EduFusion sends WhatsApp campaigns from your institute's own number. The table shows four of the products we checked. "Not listed" means we didn't find it there, not that the product can't do it. All four list SMS, and EduFusion sends SMS too, bought separately at ৳0.40 an SMS.

Who it's for
Any school, college or coaching centre in Bangladesh that sends notices, reminders and announcements to families and wants them to come from the institute, not a staff member's phone.
- The office, which sends exam notices, holiday announcements, fee reminders and same-day notes to the guardians of absent students.
- The principal, who wants every family to get important notices from one official number.
- Guardians, who get school messages in the WhatsApp chat they already use, without joining a busy group.
