# Admission Enquiry Follow-Up with AI Calls

> How coaching institutes and schools can call back every admission enquiry quickly, book demo classes on the call, and follow up with parents who said later.

Admission enquiry follow-up means calling back every parent or student who asked about a course, answering the first questions, and moving them to the next step: a demo class, a campus visit or a call with a counsellor. With MySA Business, an AI voice assistant calls new enquiries from your institute's number, answers from details you approved, books a demo class on the call if you set that up, and calls back the families who said "baad mein". Your counsellors spend their time on the serious ones.

## Why admission enquiries go cold

An enquiry is warm for a short time. A parent fills a form on Sunday night, compares three institutes on Monday, and decides by Wednesday. The ones who heard back first, with clear answers, usually get the visit.

For most coaching institutes and schools, the problem is not interest. It is capacity:

- **Too many enquiries at once.** Ads, a website form, WhatsApp and walk-ins all arrive in the same weeks before your admission season.
- **The same questions every time.** Fees, batch timings, faculty, a demo class, the distance from home.
- **Call-backs that slip.** "Papa se baat karke batate hain" turns into a forgotten note on a counsellor's desk.

The specific setup for coaching is on our [coaching lead automation](/industries/coaching-lead-automation) page. This guide is about the follow-up itself.

## Call every new enquiry within a minute

If your enquiries come from a website form or an ad platform, connect them through a webhook. A **Webhook** campaign then calls each new enquiry as soon as it arrives, usually within a minute. **Max calls to one customer / day** and **Minimum gap between calls** stop a family being called too often.

For enquiries you already have in a sheet, such as last month's walk-ins, upload the list as a campaign. Columns named `var1` to `var15` let each call carry its own details: with a purpose like "{var1} ke liye {var2} batch ke baare mein call kar rahe hain", `var1` can be the student's name and `var2` the course. Calls never go out inside your [DND hours](/docs/dnd); they wait until the window opens.

## Book the demo class on the call

**Appointments** lets the AI book a slot during the call, from times that are actually free. For an institute, pick **Something else** as the kind of business, make "Demo class" a service with its length, and make each counsellor or classroom a seat. With **AI books on calls** ticked, the AI offers free times, books one once the parent picks it and gives a name, and the parent gets a WhatsApp confirmation. The full setup is in [AI appointment booking](/blog/ai-appointment-booking).

> **Example**
>
> **Parent:** Haan ji, beta ka Class 11 science ke liye poochna tha. Demo kab hai?
>
> **AI:** Namaste. Demo class Saturday ko 4 baje aur Sunday ko 11 baje hai. Aapke liye kaunsa theek rahega?
>
> **Parent:** Saturday 4 baje. Naam Riya likh dijiye.
>
> **AI:** Ho gaya, Riya ka demo Saturday 4 baje book hai. Confirmation WhatsApp par aa jayega.

The institute and the student are made up. The booking appears on your calendar straight away, and the call is in **Call Logs** with its recording, AI summary and sentiment.

## When a parent says "papa se poochke batate hain"

Admission decisions are family decisions, so "later" is common:

- **A call-back request.** "Kal shaam ko call karna" becomes a follow-up in **Follow-ups** for that time, in the same language. With **Auto-callback** on, the AI calls then. More in [how to handle "call me later"](/blog/how-to-handle-call-me-later).
- **A plan to visit.** "Saturday ko campus aayenge" is noted from the call, and with **Visit reminders** switched on, MySA rings on the day to confirm. See [Visit reminders](/docs/visit-reminders).
- **A question the AI cannot answer.** A scholarship case or a fee exception becomes **Action required**; you type the answer once and the AI calls back with it.
- **"Counsellor se baat karni hai".** With [Call transfer](/docs/call-transfer) set up, the AI rings the counsellor, briefs them on who is calling and what they asked, and connects the call.

## Reminders before the batch starts

Families who showed interest but did not decide can be called again on dates you choose. A **Scheduled** campaign with **On dates I pick** calls the whole list on each date, for example a week before the batch starts and two days before. Untick **Skip people already reached** if you want everyone to hear each reminder. Every round has its own report, so you can see how many new people the last reminder reached.

## What works today, and what it does not do

| Works today | Does not do |
| --- | --- |
| New enquiries called within about a minute through a webhook | Promise results, ranks or scholarships you did not write down |
| Demo classes booked on the call with Appointments | Collect fees or take payments on the call |
| Call-backs and visit reminders at the time the family asked | Decide admissions; your counsellors still do |
| Reminder rounds before the batch starts | Send SMS or email |

## Getting started

1. [Create a workspace](/signup) and verify your mobile number to get ₹100 of Test credit in the separate **Test** environment.
2. Write your Business Details: courses, batch timings, fee structure as you want it quoted, and the demo class process.
3. Press **Try now** so the AI rings your own phone, and ask it what a parent would ask.
4. Set up **Appointments** with "Demo class" as a service, and tick **AI books on calls**.
5. Go **Live**, top up the prepaid wallet, and connect your enquiry form with a webhook campaign.

Calls of 10 seconds or less are free; longer calls are billed per started minute. The rate for your workspace is shown in the console. [Talk to sales](/contact) for volume pricing.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can the AI call a new admission enquiry automatically?

Yes. Connect your form or ad leads through a webhook, and a Webhook campaign calls each new enquiry as soon as it arrives, usually within a minute.

### Can the AI book a demo class during the call?

Yes, with Appointments set up and AI books on calls ticked. It offers only free times and the parent gets a WhatsApp confirmation.

### Will the AI quote our fees?

Only what you wrote in your Business Details. It does not invent fees, discounts or scholarships.

### What if a parent wants to talk to a counsellor?

With Call transfer set up, the AI briefs the counsellor and connects the call. Without it, the request becomes a Call from a person follow-up for your team.

### Can we remind interested families before the batch starts?

Yes. A Scheduled campaign with On dates I pick calls the list again on each date you choose, with a report per round.
