# WhatsApp Bot

> Ask for today's sessions, attendance, and cash from WhatsApp — without opening the app.

Once your number is linked, you can message the TrackAdemi bot on WhatsApp and get today's figures straight back — on the road, or between sessions.

<Note>
  The bot is **read-only**: it reports numbers, it doesn't change anything. The one exception is requesting an assistant link.
</Note>

<Info>
  The WhatsApp bot is available from the **Starter** plan up. See [Plans & AI Credits](/en/teacher/plans-and-credits).
</Info>

## Linking your number

If you skipped the activation step at signup, open [**WhatsApp**](https://www.trackademi.com/en/teacher/whatsapp) in the sidebar and request a pairing code:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Request the code">
    A six-digit code appears with a countdown. It's valid for **10 minutes**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Send it from your phone">
    Send the code to the platform number shown next to it. On a handset there's a button that opens the chat directly.

    Arabic keyboards are fine — Arabic-Indic digits (١٢٣) are accepted exactly like Western ones.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Linked">
    The page updates on its own and the bot replies with its button menu.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  The code is shown **once** — only a fingerprint of it is stored, so refreshing the page loses it for good and you'll need a new one. You get **5 attempts** to enter it before it's invalidated.
</Warning>

### Why a code and not "we already know your number"

The phone number on your profile is self-entered and never verified. Relying on it alone would mean one mistyped digit at signup could send your attendance and cash figures to someone else. The code proves you own the account; sending it from the handset proves you own the number.

## What you can ask for

| Button | What comes back |
| - | - |
| 📊 **Summary** | A quick overview pulling the next three together |
| 📅 **Today** | Today's sessions and their times |
| 📆 **Tomorrow** | Tomorrow's sessions |
| ✋ **Attendance** | Attendance on the session currently running |
| 💰 **Collection** | Cash collected today |
| ➕ **Assistant link** | Mints a new assistant activation link — see [Assistants](/en/teacher/assistants) |

You can tap the buttons, type in Arabic ("النهاردة", "حضور"), or use the short command (`/today`, `/attendance`).

<Note>
  WhatsApp shows **only three buttons** per message, so which ones you see changes with what you're currently reading. Every command stays at most two taps away, and you can always type the command instead.
</Note>

## This is not parent notifications

The bot is for **you**, on **your** number. Parent notifications (absence, grades, behavior notes) go automatically to the contact number recorded on each student's record, are capped monthly by your plan, and have nothing to do with linking your own number here.
