WhatsApp Business with KIDUART
Parents read WhatsApp. KIDUART connects to the WhatsApp Business Cloud API so notices, fee reminders and attendance alerts go out as approved template messages from the school's own number with a record of what was sent, instead of a teacher forwarding messages from a personal phone at 10pm.
What you get
- Notices and reminders on the channel parents check
- Messages sent from the school's own business number
- Approved templates, media and quick-reply buttons instead of ad-hoc forwards
- Class and section targeting, not one giant group
- Delivery status recorded, so the office can answer 'we were never informed'
The connection, hop by hop
How WhatsApp Business actually works here
No hand-waving about being 'seamlessly integrated'. This is the path a single event takes, end to end.
An event happens
A student is marked absent, a fee falls due, a notice is published, or the office sends a targeted message.
Template picked and filled
KIDUART selects the approved template for that event and fills it with the student, amount or date from the record itself.
Sent through the Cloud API
The message goes out through the WhatsApp Business Cloud API on the school's verified number, to the guardians linked to that student.
Delivery logged
Meta's status callbacks are written back, so sent, delivered and failed are visible against the communication record.
Keys, data and the bill
Who holds the credentials
Your WhatsApp Business account and verified number. Access tokens are held encrypted against your school configuration.
Where the data sits
KIDUART stores which template went to which guardian and its delivery status. Message content comes from your own records.
Who gets billed
Meta charges conversation rates on your WhatsApp Business account, so you keep control of spend and can see it in your own billing.

Questions schools ask
WhatsApp Business, answered plainly
Can teachers chat with parents one to one?
The integration is built for school-to-parent notices and alerts, not informal chat. Keeping it template-based is what stops it becoming another unmanaged group.
Does this replace SMS?
It complements it. WhatsApp gets read more; SMS reaches everyone. Most schools use WhatsApp for routine communication and SMS for the parents who need it.
What if a parent has no WhatsApp?
The same event can also send SMS or email, so the guardian is not left out because of the channel they use.
