What changes for your school
Who builds the agents
With Ideta, the school builds its bots in a no-code builder; from a template, a first bot takes a few minutes, and Ideta can help on request. With Skolbot, our team builds the knowledge base from your sources, connects the CRM and configures the agents. Your team provides the sources and access, settles contradictions, tests and approves.
A multi-product platform or an admissions tool
Ideta covers several products and sectors: chatbots, callbots, livechat and community management, with an education offer. Skolbot is built only for student recruitment: four agents on three channels, the website, WhatsApp and Instagram. WhatsApp Activate follows up a CRM cohort toward one action, such as an open day or an application.
The handoff to the CRM
Ideta's public pages state a connection to any internal or external tool, with no CRM named. Skolbot connects to HubSpot, Salesforce, OSCAR Campus, Slate, Zoho and Odoo, or to other CRMs by API or webhook. When an applicant leaves their details and gives consent, their record arrives with study level, programme, campus, a score and a call brief.

Ideta suits a team that wants to build its own no-code bots, with an education offer and help on request. For a school that wants to capture and follow up applicants on its website, WhatsApp and Instagram, with the setup handled and its current CRM, Skolbot is the one to choose.
