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](https://edufusionbd.online/insights/school-fee-management-software). Results go out on their own when you publish them: see [exam results on WhatsApp](https://edufusionbd.online/insights/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 1. Open Connect WhatsApp and scan the QR code with the school's phone. 2. Check each student's WhatsApp preference: Student, Father, Mother or a custom number. 3. Create a campaign and choose its type: general message, fee reminder or announcement. 4. Pick the audience: chosen students, or one, several or all classes. 5. Start the campaign; EduFusion sends about one message every 18–40 seconds. 6. 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.

For notices and reminders that every family must see, here is how the options compare. **Ways of sending school notices to families** | 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. **Messaging features listed on vendors' websites** | Listed on the website | School360 | Eduman | ClassMate | OpenEduCat | EduFusion | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | WhatsApp messaging to guardians | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | Listed (paid module) | Yes, in every plan | | Sent from the institute's own number | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | Not listed | Yes, linked by QR code | | SMS notifications | Listed | Listed | Listed | Listed | Yes, ৳0.40 an SMS | | Messaging cost listed | SMS billed separately | SMS ৳0.40 or ৳0.60 each | SMS credit bought separately | WhatsApp module $499 a year | WhatsApp included in every plan; SMS ৳0.40 each | | Public price | Not public | ৳10 to ৳7 per student a month | From ৳2,500 a month (up to 300 students) | In USD: core $489 a year plus modules | From ৳2,499 a month (up to 200 students) | | Free trial advertised | Not listed | Not listed | 14 days | 15 days | 30 days | Checked on 19 October 2026; prices change, so check each vendor's site. ## 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. ## Frequently asked questions about WhatsApp for schools **How do I send a WhatsApp message to all parents at once?** Create a campaign, choose all classes and start it. EduFusion sends each guardian a separate message from your school's own number, about one every 18–40 seconds (roughly 90–200 an hour), so a campaign to a whole school can take several hours. **How do I send bulk WhatsApp messages without getting blocked?** Send slowly, only to people who know your school, and keep messages useful. EduFusion paces every campaign at about one message every 18–40 seconds with a typing pause, and sends only to your own current students' contacts, but no tool can guarantee that WhatsApp will never restrict a number. **Do messages come from our own number?** Yes. You link your institute's own WhatsApp number by scanning a QR code. Institutes never share a number, and Disconnect removes your link. **Can I send to one class only?** Yes. Choose one class, several classes or all of them, or pick individual students. **Can we tell parents their child is absent today?** Yes, on WhatsApp. Start a general message campaign, pick the students who didn't come today and write a short note; each one's guardians get it from your school's own number. You choose the students yourself, so it works with however your school notes who is absent. **Is a campaign better than a WhatsApp group?** They do different jobs. A group suits quick two-way chat, but every member sees every number and notices get buried; a campaign sends each family a separate message, so numbers stay private. **Does EduFusion send SMS?** Yes, separately from WhatsApp. In Communication → Phone Message the admin sends SMS to any mobile phone, with no internet or WhatsApp needed on the other end. SMS are bought in packages at ৳0.40 an SMS, and every SMS ends with your institute's name. WhatsApp messages still go from your own number, with no charge per message.
