What it does

How a study abroad CRM works on WhatsApp, step by step

Five moments where consultancies lose students, handled by one number.

Qualify & book

It qualifies the student, then books a counsellor

The AI asks for destination, course, intake, budget and test score, saves the answers to the fields you set up, and offers real counsellor slots.

  • Country, course, intake and budget
  • Saved to custom fields on the record
  • Real counsellor slots, no double-booking

Attendance

Reminders so counselling slots are not wasted

Students and parents get a WhatsApp reminder 24 hours and 2 hours before, with confirm and reschedule buttons. If they miss it, you mark it and a rebooking message goes out.

  • 24h and 2h reminders
  • Confirm or reschedule in one tap
  • Rebooking message after a marked no-show

Student pipeline

One board from enquiry to application

Define stages that match your process. The names here are examples. Your team moves cards as students progress, or asks the AI to.

  • Stages you define
  • Country, intake and counsellor on each card
  • Team moves cards as work progresses

Intake campaigns (Growth)

Tell the right students about the next intake

Send an approved template to students segmented by tag or custom field, such as target country or intake. Keep it factual and invite a shortlist review.

  • Segment by country or intake field
  • Meta-approved templates
  • Track delivery, reads and replies

Paid sessions (Growth)

Take the fee for in-depth sessions

Charge for profile evaluations or visa-interview coaching with a payment link in the chat. Unpaid holds are released.

  • Payment link inside the chat
  • Slot held, then released if unpaid
  • Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay and more
Playbooks

Use cases for every kind of consultancy

Pick yours. The chat replays what the AI does.

Questions

Study abroad CRM FAQs

What is a study abroad CRM?

It tracks student enquiries, counselling sessions and follow-up in one place. WhatsGrow AI does that on WhatsApp, where students and parents already message you. It does not track applications or visas.

How do study abroad consultants use WhatsApp?

They answer ad enquiries, qualify students, book counselling sessions and send reminders and document lists. WhatsGrow AI automates the first reply and the booking.

How do I qualify students before a session?

The AI asks country, course, intake, budget and test score and saves answers to the custom fields you set up, so counsellors start informed.

How do I follow up students who go quiet?

Use counsellor tasks, stage-based follow-up on the pipeline and, on Growth, approved templates to segments by country or intake.

How do I reduce counselling no-shows?

Reminders go out 24 hours and 2 hours before with Confirm and Reschedule buttons. Freed slots go to the waitlist. Mark a no-show and a rebooking message follows.

Can the AI answer questions about countries and courses?

On Growth, from documents you upload, such as brochures and checklists. It does not know university data and never judges admission odds.

Does it track university applications or visas?

No. There is no application, offer-letter or visa tracking. Keep your own system for that. Pipeline stages can mirror your process.

Are online sessions supported?

Sessions can be set to online and booked in the counsellor’s calendar. The counsellor or your confirmation text shares the call link.

Is it safe to collect passports on WhatsApp?

Ask for only what each stage needs, avoid scans before a first call, and keep records in your own secure system. WhatsGrow AI is not a document repository.

Do I need the WhatsApp Business API?

Yes. The official Cloud API avoids the account-ban risk of unofficial tools and supports a shared inbox and approved templates.

Can several counsellors share one number?

Yes. They share one inbox with roles, and each has a calendar. Pro supports up to 10 WhatsApp numbers.

What does Meta charge on top?

Meta bills WhatsApp conversation fees to your own Meta account, with no markup from us. Rates depend on the recipient’s country and the message category.

Tonight’s student enquiry is already on its way.

Connect the number students already message. The next enquiry is qualified and booked before your first counselling call tomorrow.
