The WhatsApp push, step by step
Only for students who agreed to be contacted.
01Admitted
Congratulations, Camila! You’re admitted for the fall intake. Any questions about next steps?

Accommodation, induction, arrival dates: here is your pre-arrival guide. Want a call with an adviser?
Answer every time zone, in every language
Domestic students text. International applicants from Latin America, India, Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia live on WhatsApp, and they write when your office is closed. The website agent and WhatsApp Capture answer them at any hour, in the language they write in, from what your institution publishes.
- Programs, admission requirements and English proficiency (IELTS, TOEFL, Duolingo English Test)
- Tuition fees, cost of living and scholarships
- Housing, fall and winter intake dates, application deadlines
The WhatsApp push, from admission to arrival
Between the admission letter and the first day of class, international students go through many steps on their own. WhatsApp Activate starts the conversation from your CRM at each stage, answers their questions and offers a call with your admissions team. It only writes to students who agreed to be contacted, stops as soon as someone declines, and keeps proof of consent.
- Admitted: congratulations and next steps
- Financial documents and the study permit
- Tuition deposit
- Pre-arrival: accommodation, induction and arrival dates
Every applicant lands in your CRM with the full picture
Each conversation becomes a lead in HubSpot, Salesforce or any CRM via API or webhook, with country, language, program, intake, consent, a score and a call brief. Replies to WhatsApp pushes and next steps go back to the same record, so your advisers know where each admitted student stands before they call.
Set up by our team, data in the EU
Our team sets up the agents from your website, your admissions guides and your FAQ. Conversations are hosted in the European Union, never used to train models, and covered by a data processing agreement with your institution. On visa and immigration questions, the agent shares the information you publish and points to your team or official sources.
Frequently asked questions
Which languages does the agent speak?
It replies in the language the applicant writes in, from your institution’s content. An applicant who writes in Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic or Vietnamese gets an answer in that language.
Can it answer study permit questions?
It shares the information you publish about the letter of acceptance, financial documents and the study permit, and points to your team or official sources. It never gives legal or immigration advice.
Do students have to opt in before receiving WhatsApp messages?
Yes. WhatsApp Activate only contacts students who agreed to be contacted. It stops as soon as someone declines in the conversation, and proof of consent is kept.
Does it work with our CRM?
Yes. Skolbot connects to HubSpot and Salesforce, and to any other CRM via API or webhook. Leads, replies and next steps land in the records your team already uses.
