Common Questions

Yes. Nowdesk connects to scheduling and school management systems via API or webhook. When a lesson is booked, modified, or cancelled, reminder flows are triggered automatically with the correct details — no manual message sending required.

The level assessment is a conversational flow within WhatsApp that asks a series of self-assessment questions about the student's existing experience, learning goals, and availability. Based on responses, the AI recommends the most appropriate class level and timetable options, which are presented directly in the chat.

Yes. Individual student and corporate B2B enquiries are routed to separate inboxes with different workflows. HR administrators managing corporate training programmes receive group booking handling and utilisation reports, while individual students receive personalised lesson and progress messaging.
