CASE STUDY · INTELLIGENT PROCESS AUTOMATION
Language School: Automating the Admissions Process with AI for More Enrolments and 24/7 Support
For a Spanish language school in Madrid, we automated the entire admissions process. The system captures every enquiry from email and web forms, replies with AI around the clock in each student’s language, processes the level test and follows up all the way to enrolment. The result: more sales and lower staffing costs for the same volume of enquiries.

More sales, lower costs and 24/7 support
Automation isn’t just about convenience: it changes the bottom line. Here’s what each part of the system adds.
Every enquiry gets a reply within minutes and consistent follow-up until the student takes the level test and enrols. More conversations make it to the finish line: enrolment.
The AI takes on the volume of repetitive enquiries that would otherwise mean hiring more admissions staff. Fewer hours on manual tasks and lower salary costs to look after more students.
Students get in touch from other continents and at all hours. The system replies at night, at weekends and on bank holidays, in each person's language.
The team spends its time on students who are ready to sign up and on the cases that need a person.
What changes when every enquiry goes into one system
Flip the switch to compare how enquiries are handled with and without automation.
- Scattered channelsEnquiries spread across email, the contact form, the level test and enrolment.
- Replies when someone's freeA message arriving in the middle of the night from another continent waits until someone sees it.
- Language as a barrierReplying well to students from many countries means mastering many languages.
- Manual follow-upChasing people who don't reply depends on someone remembering to.
- Everything goes into the CRMEvery email and form creates or updates the lead's record with its full history.
- Replies within minutesThe AI answers using the school's real information, at any hour.
- In the student's languageIt detects the language of the latest message and writes the whole reply in it.
- Automated follow-upScheduled reminders if the lead doesn't reply, until they take the test or enrol.
One system for every enquiry
Everything that reaches the school goes through the same core: the CRM stores each lead’s record and history, and the AI engine decides what to do with each message.
The 13 workflows behind the admissions process
In short, this is an intelligent process automation project: the rules capture, log and schedule every step, while the AI understands each message, decides whether to reply, escalate or enrol, and writes in the student’s own language. Here are the 13 workflows, grouped by stage.

A lead's journey, minute by minute
A real conversation from the system, with personal details removed. A prospective student asks about paying in instalments through the website form.
Web contact
“Hello, I saw your different programs and I'm really interested, but I wanted to know if we can pay in installments. What kind of payment do you propose?”
The system creates or updates the record, loads the history and detects the message's language.
Payment Options for Inhispania Courses
“To secure your place in a course, you pay an upfront reservation. The remaining balance is paid on the first day of class. We do not offer installment plans, but you can pay by credit card, bank transfer or cash.”
A reply based on the school's actual policy, in the student's language, 4 minutes later.
Are you still interested?
With no reply from the lead, the system sends a personalised reminder to pick the conversation back up.
The lead keeps moving forward without anyone on the team having to remember.
Custom CRM and automation engine
The team works from its own dashboard: it shows where each lead is, their Spanish level, their full email history and whether the AI or a person is handling the conversation.
