WhatsApp Business API for Kalyani's labs, hostels and Block D units

Kalyani was drawn before it was built: a satellite township on the Hooghly with blocks for homes, offices, institutions and industry. Its business follows the plan, and most of it is people asking whether something is ready.

For Kalyani's diagnostic centres and clinics near its hospitals, the hostels, PGs and coaching centres serving its university and institutes, Block D's small units and the town's shops: how one notice travels from your system to a patient's phone, which messages need templates, and the rupee cost of each.

See it work

One report-ready notice, layer by layer

A diagnostic centre near Kalyani's hospitals marks a report ready. Follow the notice down through each layer to a patient's phone in Chakdaha, and back up when she replies.

The layers matter because each has a rule. The lab system decides what may leave the building: a notice that a report is ready, not the report's findings. Meta decides what category the message is in and what it costs. The inbox is where a person takes over once the patient writes back.

Kalyani, from the university, the district and the record

From the University of Kalyani and Nadia district sites, Invest India's ODOP list and Meta; the town's wartime origin, layout and institutions are general background from Wikipedia.

The University of Kalyani describes the town as a satellite township under the long-term perspective plan of the Calcutta Urban Agglomeration and the brainchild of Dr Bidhan Chandra Roy, whose master plan stressed education and health.[1]

The university was established on 1 November 1960 by the University of Kalyani Act; both its campuses lie within Kalyani Municipality, it is NAAC A grade, and 62 colleges in Nadia and Murshidabad are affiliated to it.[1]

Kalyani is one of Nadia's four subdivisions, with Krishnagar Sadar, Ranaghat and Tehatta, and covers three blocks: Kalyani, Chakdaha and Haringhata.[2]

Invest India's One District One Product list names Tangail, Jamdani and Shantipore sarees for Nadia, with clay dolls second.[3]

In the Second World War the site was an American airbase called Roosevelt Town; the town's foundation stone was laid on 24 February 1951, it hosted the 1954 Congress session, and its municipality dates from 1995.[5]

The town is laid out in Blocks A to D: A with the main station, the state general hospital and a medical college, B with offices and the library, C for institutions such as the university, and D for small and medium industry.[5]

Meta lets a business send free-form messages only inside the 24-hour window a customer opens, and prices each delivered message by category and the recipient's country calling code.[4]

Who in Kalyani sends WhatsApp messages

Four kinds of business, roughly one for each block of the plan.

Diagnostic centres and clinics

AIIMS Kalyani, the College of Medicine and JNM Hospital and the state general hospital bring patients from across the district, and the labs and clinics around them follow up.[5]

  • Report-ready notices
  • Appointment confirmations
  • OPD timing replies

Hostels, PGs and coaching centres

The University of Kalyani, Kalyani Government Engineering College, IIIT Kalyani and NIBMG bring students and researchers who need rooms, meals and classes.[1],[5]

  • Rent and fee-due reminders
  • Class-timing updates
  • Room-availability replies

Block D units

The industrial block is home to many small and medium units, and the Kalyani Expressway runs directly to Kolkata.[5]

  • Quote and drawing replies
  • Dispatch notes
  • Payment-due reminders

Shops and markets in Blocks A and B

The residential blocks have their own markets, which deliver to households across the town.[5]

  • Order-ready notices
  • Delivery-time updates
  • Offers to opted-in customers

A town with a planned address

Kalyani's plan gives every address a block letter, and every block a job: the station and hospitals in A, offices in B, institutions in C, industry in D. For a business that sends notices, that is useful. A delivery template with a blank for the block and the plot reads cleanly anywhere in town, and a patient knows from the letter where the counter is.

The plan does not change WhatsApp's rules. A patient asking about a report, a student asking about a room or a buyer asking for a quote opens a 24-hour window for replies. A notice sent later about something already booked or ordered is a utility template. Anything offered to people who did not ask needs their agreement first.

Bengali first, with English and Hindi

Meta approves each template once per language. Bengali reaches most of Kalyani and its subdivision; students and staff from other states may want English or Hindi.

Submit the report-ready, rent and dispatch templates in each language together. Inside the 24-hour window, staff can reply in whatever language a customer writes. InfiQ's own support works in English and Hindi.

Questions Kalyani businesses ask

Patients come to AIIMS Kalyani and the JNM Hospital from across Nadia. Can our diagnostic centre nearby send report-ready notices on WhatsApp?
Yes, to patients who gave their number for it. A notice that a report is ready, with collection hours, is a utility template at ₹0.19. Keep findings out of the template text; if the patient writes back, answer as replies at ₹0.145.
Our PG in Kalyani's Block C fills with University of Kalyani students each year. Can we send rent reminders on WhatsApp?
Yes, to current tenants. A rent-due reminder about a room they rent is a utility template at ₹0.19. Advertising rooms to next year's students who never wrote to you is marketing and needs their opt-in, so answer enquiries as replies instead.
A unit in Kalyani's Block D sends goods to buyers in Kolkata over the Kalyani Expressway. Can dispatch notes go on WhatsApp?
Yes. A dispatch note about an order the buyer placed, with the vehicle number and the invoice, is a utility template at ₹0.19. Quotes and drawings sent when the buyer asks are replies at ₹0.145, with no template needed.
Our Kalyani shop gets customers from Chakdaha and Haringhata. Should our templates be in Bengali or English?
Bengali (bn) for most of them, with an English version for those who prefer it. Each language is approved by Meta as its own version of the template, at the same price. Staff can reply in either inside the 24-hour window.
Our coaching centre near Kalyani Ghoshpara station teaches students from the town's colleges. Can we send class timings and fee dates?
Yes, to enrolled students and parents who gave their numbers. Timings, changes and fee-due dates are utility templates at ₹0.19. A new-batch offer to students who did not ask is marketing at ₹0.94, and needs their recorded agreement.
Our clinic in Kalyani wants to tell past patients in Gayespur and Saguna about a health camp. What do we need first?
Each patient's agreement to receive such messages from you, with a record of when and how; a number in a patient register is not an opt-in. The camp notice then goes as an approved marketing template at ₹0.94, with a way to stop receiving them.
