WhatsApp digests parents can actually use

Families want to help, but too many notifications make them tune out. LearnX condenses updates into concise WhatsApp digests with clear actions and celebrations.

Parent receiving concise WhatsApp digest

Families ignore noisy updates

Parents want to help but rarely have time to decode long emails or portals. Too many alerts and they mute the thread; too few and they miss the moment to support.

LearnX condenses progress into one WhatsApp digest per week with three essentials: what to celebrate, what needs practice, and a single clear ask.

One concise message beats ten reminders. Keep it human, actionable, and tied to the next milestone.

How to design useful digests

Build a template that can be automated and personalized without adding work for faculty.

  1. Open with one celebration tied to recent progress.
  2. List one focus area with a short activity parents can support.
  3. Include timetable highlights for the coming week.
  4. Keep it under 80 words and avoid jargon.
