About This Automation

Enrolment and waitlist management involves receiving family enquiries, collecting documents, checking room capacity, and assigning placements or waitlist positions. Manual tracking across spreadsheets and email creates delays, duplicate entries, and families waiting days for confirmation.

Automation captures enquiries, validates duplicates, tracks missing documents, checks real-time capacity, and sends confirmations or waitlist notifications automatically. Families receive same-day responses and the centre gains accurate, up-to-date enrolment records.

Key features
Capture and validate new enquiries from multiple channels automatically
Detect and flag duplicate enquiries to prevent double-processing
Track missing documents and send reminder requests without manual intervention
Check room capacity and availability in real time for each age group
Assign placements or waitlist positions based on centre rules automatically
Send personalized confirmation or waitlist emails instantly to families

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Enquiry Receivedtrigger

A family submits an enrolment form, email, or website contact. The trigger captures the submission and extracts family details, preferred start date, and any initial documents.

2. Validate & Deduplicate

The automation checks the enquiry against existing records to identify duplicates and flag incomplete submissions. It scores the enquiry completeness and routes accordingly.

3. Request Missing Documents

If documents are missing, an automated email is sent to the family with a checklist of required documents and a link to upload them. The system tracks submission status.

4. Check Room Capacity

The automation queries to check real-time capacity in the requested room and age group for the preferred start date.

5. Assign Placement or Waitlist

Based on capacity, the system either confirms the placement or automatically assigns a waitlist position. The family record is updated with status and position.

6. Send Confirmation or Waitlist Notice

A templated email is sent automatically to the family confirming their placement or providing their waitlist position and expected timeline.

7. Notify Team

A message is posted for the relevant room leader or manager, alerting them to the new enrolment or waitlist addition with key family details.
