Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

When should an absence alert go out?
The same day, ideally within an hour of class. Parents trust a centre that tells them about an absence before they find out themselves. ClassHQ can send the alert automatically the moment you mark the student absent.
How do I word an absence alert without alarming parents?
State the fact plainly, invite a reply, and avoid blame: "[Student] was marked absent for today’s [Batch] class. If this was planned, please ignore. Otherwise, do let us know." Calm and factual beats dramatic.
Can ClassHQ send attendance alerts automatically?
Yes. Mark attendance by batch and ClassHQ sends the absence alert to each absent student’s contact on the official WhatsApp Business API — no manual typing.
