Counselor & admissions

Self-paced · updated with each release

Audience: Admissions counselors, front office
Duration: ~2 hours
Prerequisites: Getting started guide

Learning objectives

  • Manage leads in the pipeline
  • Log calls and use telephony
  • Run automations and follow-ups
  • Use counselor mobile in the field

1. Leads inbox

Route: /school-panel/leads

  • Pipeline board — drag cards between stages (New → Contacted → Visit → Applied → Enrolled).
  • List view — filter by counselor, source, SLA status.
  • Import — /school-panel/leads/import for CSV bulk.

Open a lead → timeline shows every call, note, WhatsApp message, and automation.

Counselor desk (/school-panel/counselor) is your daily workspace — call-now leads, tasks, and priorities. Use Leads inbox for full-pipeline search, bulk import, and stage boards. Sovix explains both for your role.

2. Following up

On lead detail:

  1. Add a note after every parent conversation.
  2. Schedule next action with due date.
  3. Use click-to-call if telephony is configured.
  4. Check predictive score and next best action suggestions.

Route: /school-panel/calls for call history.

3. Telephony & campaigns

Task Route
Configure teams & IVR /school-panel/telephony-setup
Outbound campaign /school-panel/campaigns
AI voice agents /school-panel/ai-voice

Requires Telephony integration in /school-panel/integrations.

4. Automations

Route: /school-panel/automations

Example: When lead stage → "Visit scheduled", send WhatsApp reminder + assign counselor task.

Review automation runs for failures.

5. Communications hub

Route: /school-panel/communications

Unified view of omnichannel threads. Enable push notifications in your profile for mobile alerts.

6. Convert to student

When admission is confirmed:

  1. Open lead → Convert to Student.
  2. Confirm guardian and class details.
  3. Student appears in ERP /erp/students with link back to lead.
