WhatsApp Group Response Tracking for College Admissions Teams

WhatsApp group response tracking for college admissions teams

Admissions teams run WhatsApp groups with applicants, parents and counselors during the admission season. When a fee, course or deadline question goes unanswered, the applicant enrols elsewhere. Bow Chat puts a response clock on admissions groups.

Answer applicant queries before they enrol elsewhere

How group SLA monitoring works

How-ToPut a response clock on every group

Bow Chat measures how fast counselors and admissions staff reply inside the admissions groups they already use.

Connect your team numbers

Link counselors and admissions staff's WhatsApp numbers to one Bow Chat workspace; existing admissions groups sync in automatically.

Set a response SLA

Define a first-response target per group or per label, tighter for the groups that cannot wait.

Escalate breaches

A message unanswered past the SLA alerts the owner, then escalates to the lead.

Flag what matters

AI surfaces fee, deadline and course-choice messages so they are actioned first.
