Is my phone number visible to parents?

No. Databus uses a masked communication system. Teachers can message parents without ever revealing their personal mobile numbers.

Can we turn off replies?

Yes. You can send 'Broadcast-Only' messages where parents can read but cannot reply, eliminating group chat spam.

Can the Principal see the chats?

Yes. The Admin Dashboard has a 'Moderation View' where the Principal can audit conversations to ensure professional conduct.

Smart Broadcasts. No Reply-All Spam.

WhatsApp groups are noisy. Important notices get lost in "Good Morning" messages. Our One-Way Broadcast feature ensures your circulars are seen by everyone, but allows no public replies.

Targeted Alerts: Send to "Grade 5 Only" or "Bus Route 3 Parents" instantly.

Read Receipts: Know exactly who opened the circular and who ignored it.

Rich Media: Attach Voice Notes, PDFs, and Photos without compression limits.

Private Chat. Phone Numbers Hidden.

Protect your teachers' privacy. Our system enables 1-on-1 chat between a teacher and a parent without ever revealing personal mobile numbers.

Number Masking: Teachers chat via the app; their personal number stays private.

Office Hours Mode: Set chat to "Away" after 5 PM so teachers aren't disturbed at night.

GDPR Compliant: Data stays on your school server, not on Facebook's (Meta) servers.

Total Admin Oversight.

In WhatsApp, you have no idea what is being said. In Databus, the Principal or Admin has a "God View" to audit conversations and ensure professional conduct.

Chat Audit: Retrieve message history to resolve disputes between parents and staff.

Block/Mute: Admins can mute abusive parents to protect staff well-being.

Central Archive: All communication is stored for 5 years for legal compliance.
