About This Automation

Enrolment change requests arrive via email, phone, and online forms, forcing admin staff to manually extract details, chase missing information, and log updates across multiple systems. This fragmented approach creates delays, duplicate work, and inconsistent communication with parents and staff.

Automation captures incoming requests, extracts and validates all required information, updates enrolment records, and notifies educators and billing staff instantly. Parents receive immediate confirmation and can track their request status in real time.

Key features:

Capture change requests from email, phone, and online forms into a single inbox

Extract parent name, child name, change type, and requested date automatically

Flag incomplete requests and prompt parents for missing information

Update enrolment records and sync changes across all systems

Notify educators, billing, and dietary staff instantly via email or chat

Send parents immediate confirmation and track request status transparently
