The challenge

It often occurs that whenever a club/student chapter wants to notify all the students of the college, they rely heavily on their executives to spread the event notification/message on different platforms like WhatsApp, Instagram, Discord, Slack, etc. Usually, it happens that many executives fail to send the message or even read the message. It becomes difficult for the Core team/Organizers to make everyone aware of the event. Also, most people don’t tend to open other apps except WhatsApp and they miss out on the notifications which leads to low attendance in events. WhatsApp is something which everyone opens at least once in 2 hours.

How it solves

What we have thought is to make a platform for sending WhatsApp messages of the events of clubs/student chapters directly to all the students registered on our platform. This makes it much more convenient for the organizers to send the event message which includes text and images from a single channel on WhatsApp. Also, WhatsApp groups have a limit on a maximum number of participants. Hence instead of creating several WhatsApp groups, notifications can be easily sent to all registered students with one click in our case. Instead of relying on someone else to propagate the message, our platform will provide an easy and efficient solution.

Workflow

Step-1 : Students of a college need to Sign Up on our website. There they can choose the clubs that they are interested in and want to receive notifications from.

Step-2 : The registered students need to add a number +1(415)523–8886 and save it with any name they wish to call the service. To start receiving messages they need to send a message join recall-master to the same number as shown below.

Step-3 : The different clubs of a college need to register first to use our features.

Step-4 : This is the dashboard of the Logged In club from where they can send notifications.

Step-5 : We have added a feature wherein you can upload an image on your Google Drive from the site itself.

Step-6 : Users can enter the google drive link or any other link which provides the required image in the textbox below.

Step-7 : After filling in all the details of the message and sending it, the users will receive the message as shown below.
