Streamlining School Admissions through AI-Powered WhatsApp Automation
In today's digital age, prospective students often prefer to communicate through platforms they are familiar with. WhatsApp, being one of the most widely used messaging applications globally, provides a valuable channel for schools to engage effectively with inquiries about admissions.
