Paper GenWhatsApp Notifications for Parents: Keeping Families Informed Automatically
By Paper Gen Team at MADDY DEVELOPERS · · 4 min read
Parents in Pakistan read WhatsApp, not email. That is why the Paper Gen school management system, developed by MADDY DEVELOPERS, sends its updates to parents on WhatsApp automatically, with no extra work for teachers.
Which WhatsApp notifications does Paper Gen send?
Once a school connects WhatsApp, the following messages go out on their own:
- Absence alerts: when a student is marked absent, their parent or guardian gets a message with the date and class.
- Homework alerts: when a teacher assigns homework, the school is notified with the subject, title and due date.
- Daily attendance summary: school leadership gets present, absent, late and leave counts for every section once attendance is complete.
- New student notices: the school is told when students are added or imported.
Why WhatsApp works better than SMS or email
Messages arrive on the phone parents already check many times a day. They support formatting, so the important parts, like the child's name and the word ABSENT, stand out. And parents can reply to the school directly if something is unexpected.
Schools stay in control
Administrators choose which notifications are switched on. Teachers keep marking attendance and assigning homework exactly as before, and the messages follow automatically.
