Leverage WhatsApp to drive better student enrolments in Malaysia
A guide for Malaysian institutions to attract, engage, and enrol better with Whatsapp
WhatsApp is already shaping how institutions in Malaysia attract, engage, and enrol students. However, when student conversations are handled across disconnected channels, institutions often face delayed responses, missed follow-ups, and inconsistent communication. As student expectations continue to shift, institutions need a more structured approach to managing communication at scale.
That’s exactly what this eBook explores on how Meritto’s integrated WhatsApp Business API helps institutions organise and manage student conversations more effectively, from enquiry handling and counsellor assignment to application support, document sharing, and follow-ups within chat. The result is a more connected, responsive, and reliable enrolment experience for both students and teams.
