Frequently asked questions

Is WhatsApp appropriate for school communication?

Yes. WhatsApp has 98% open rates, meaning parents actually see important updates. Tyra keeps communication professional with a verified business number — separate from personal chats.

Can we send messages to all parents at once?

Yes. Tyra's broadcast feature lets you send announcements to segmented groups — by class, grade, or custom lists. Parents can reply individually without seeing other responses.

How does Tyra handle multiple languages?

Tyra supports messaging in any language. Perfect for international schools or diverse parent communities where not everyone reads the same language.

Can parents contact the school through WhatsApp?

Absolutely. Messages arrive in a shared team inbox where relevant staff can respond. No more missed emails or unreturned phone calls.
