Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about WhatsApp integration, Chategy messenger, and push notifications.
Do schools need to buy separate third-party WhatsApp software like Wati or Interakt?
No. Classegy includes a built-in official WhatsApp module. Parents can message your school’s official WhatsApp number directly, and assigned staff members can read and reply right from the Classegy dashboard. You can also run admission campaigns and fee reminder broadcasts with real-time delivery status tracking.
Are email notifications completely free on Classegy?
Yes. Default email notifications for all major institutional events—such as fee receipts, admission confirmations, tax invoices, password resets, and user account creation—are included out-of-the-box at zero additional cost.
How does in-app notification storage work? Can parents view old notices?
Every notification sent to students, parents, or staff (homework, attendance alerts, exam schedules, circulars) is stored permanently in the user’s mobile notification history with exact delivery timestamps, ensuring an immutable communication audit trail.
Can schools send instant custom notifications for urgent closures or route changes?
Yes. Administrators can broadcast custom notifications at any time to specific classes, sections, bus routes, hostel wings, or the entire school in two clicks—solving the emergency communication gaps of legacy ERPs.
How does Chategy protect teachers’ personal phone numbers and privacy?
Chategy is our native communication messenger built into Classegy. Teachers can chat 1-on-1 with parents or post classroom announcements without disclosing their private mobile phone numbers. Incoming messages can also be scheduled to respect official school working hours.
What happens to confidential documents and staff group chats when a teacher leaves the school?
When an employee is relieved or offboarded in the ERP, their Chategy access is revoked immediately. They instantly lose access to all departmental group chats, question papers, marksheets, student records, and internal media—eliminating data leakage risks common in uncontrolled personal WhatsApp groups.
Does Classegy support third-party SMS gateways and DLT compliance?
Yes. Classegy supports all leading third-party SMS providers (DLT-compliant Indian gateways, Twilio, MSG91, Textlocal, Karix). Schools have granular control to select exactly which events trigger an SMS versus an in-app push notification.
