Frequently asked questions about student engagement software
What is student engagement software?
Student engagement software helps higher education institutions communicate with students proactively and at scale across multiple channels, including text, chat, and email. It automates routine outreach like reminders and nudges, supports two-way conversations between students and staff, and gives institutions data on how students are engaging so teams can intervene early when someone falls behind.
How does Gravyty's student engagement platform work?
Gravyty uses AI-powered virtual and live assistants, delivered through Ivy & Ocelot, to engage students across the channels they already use. Automated nudges and reminders guide students through key milestones like FAFSA completion, course registration, and advising appointments. When a student needs more support, conversations can escalate seamlessly to a live staff member. Everything is managed from a single unified platform.
Which teams typically use student engagement tools?
Student engagement platforms are most commonly used by Enrollment, Advising, Financial Aid, Student Services, and Retention teams. Because the platform handles omnichannel outreach from one place, it also reduces coordination overhead for institutions where those teams work cross-functionally.
How does student engagement software support retention?
Many students disengage or stop out not because of academic struggles, but because they miss a deadline, can’t get a timely answer to a question, or don’t feel connected to their institution. Automated, behavior-based nudges catch those moments early — reminding students about registration windows, financial aid deadlines, and advising availability before small issues become reasons to leave.
What communication channels does Gravyty support for student outreach?
Gravyty supports SMS/text messaging, web chat, WhatsApp, email, social media, and voice/telephony, all managed from one platform. This omnichannel approach means students can engage in the way that’s most natural to them, and institutions get a unified view of every interaction regardless of channel.
Does Gravyty's student engagement platform integrate with our existing systems?
Yes. Gravyty integrates with Student Information Systems (SIS), CRMs, Learning Management Systems (LMS), IT Service Management platforms, and Career Services tools. This means engagement data flows between systems, keeping records current and allowing staff to act on insights without switching platforms.
How is Gravyty's student engagement solution different from a general chatbot?
General chatbots are typically single-channel, FAQ-based tools with limited ability to escalate or personalize. Gravyty’s platform combines a proactive outreach engine with an AI-powered virtual assistant, live chat escalation, and omnichannel delivery — all informed by student data from your existing systems. The result is engagement that feels timely and relevant to each student, not a generic Q&A widget.
