EDUCATION & EDTECH

Keep students, parents, and teachers connected

From school announcements to personalised learner nudges, Cincht powers WhatsApp communication that keeps education communities engaged and informed.

Trusted by schools, colleges, and EdTech platforms across 40+ countries.

The challenge is real

The industry is evolving fast. Can your communications keep up?

Parents feel left out of the loop

Newsletters get ignored. Emails go unread. WhatsApp is where parents actually are — and real-time updates reach them instantly.

Low course completion is killing retention

EdTech platforms lose 60–80% of enrolled learners before course completion. Timely WhatsApp nudges at key drop-off points change the outcome.

Admin teams are overwhelmed with enquiries

Admission enquiries, fee payment reminders, and timetable questions consume hours of staff time daily. Most of these can be handled automatically on WhatsApp.

How Cincht helps

WhatsApp is the most powerful customer channel. We make it work for Education & EdTech.

Cincht is the WhatsApp Business platform trusted by businesses in education & edtech to automate communication, reduce manual work, and build stronger customer relationships.

How it works

Instant, reliable school-wide communication

Whether it's an emergency closure, a sports day reminder, or a term calendar update — Cincht gets your message to every parent's WhatsApp in seconds, not hours.

  • Segmented broadcasts: send to all parents, specific year groups, or individual classes
  • Two-way replies: parents can respond, RSVP to events, or ask questions — replied to by staff or bot
  • Delivery confirmation: know which parents received and read the message in real time

Built for scale

Learner engagement that reduces dropout rates

Completion rates on EdTech platforms collapse without engagement. Cincht's WhatsApp flows are proven to re-engage learners at critical drop-off points.

  • Progress nudges: trigger WhatsApp messages when a learner hasn't logged in for 3, 7, or 14 days
  • Assignment reminders: personalised deadline alerts 48 and 24 hours before submission
  • Achievement celebrations: celebrate milestones (first module, halfway, completion) to reinforce momentum

Customer success

Admissions automation from first enquiry to enrolment

The admissions process is full of manual, repetitive communication. Cincht automates the entire pipeline — from first enquiry to acceptance letter — on WhatsApp.

  • Enquiry bot: instantly responds to prospective students with programme info, fees, and intake dates
  • Document collection: send checklists and collect uploaded documents directly via WhatsApp chat
  • Interview scheduling: two-way scheduling flow with calendar integration for admissions interviews
