In today’s digital age, agility is no longer optional—it’s a necessity. Organisations need solutions that enable them to adapt quickly, automate efficiently, and integrate seamlessly. That’s where Azure Logic Apps come in—a game-changer for businesses looking to supercharge workflows and scale their operations with minimal development time.

Logic Apps provide a cloud-first, low-code platform designed to simplify integration across systems, services, and platforms. Its pre-built connectors, drag-and-drop workflow designer, and consumption-based pricing make it a preferred choice for organisations aiming for rapid automation without the overhead of traditional development. But what makes Logic Apps truly stand out is its ability to deliver quick results, even for complex scenarios, as demonstrated by Afrolynx’s recent client success in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector.

Case Study: Revolutionising Student Enrolment with Logic Apps

September marks a pivotal period for TVET colleges, as they prepare for a new wave of student enrolments in January. Marketing efforts ramp up to target high school leavers, requiring outreach to be conducted on platforms that resonate with the younger demographic. For Afrolynx’s client in the TVET space, the challenge was clear: their existing online enrolment form wasn’t enough. They needed a solution that would meet students where they are—on their smartphones, using apps they trust.

The client envisioned enabling students to complete their enrolment entirely through WhatsApp, a platform with near-universal reach among their target audience. Although this seemed ambitious, Afrolynx saw an opportunity to leverage Azure Logic Apps to deliver a seamless and efficient solution.

The Solution: Building a WhatsApp-Based Enrolment System

Afrolynx transformed the client’s static online enrolment form into a dynamic, step-by-step question-and-answer workflow tailored for WhatsApp. The process branched into subsections based on user responses, ensuring a personalised and intuitive experience for students.

Here’s how Logic Apps powered this innovation:

  1. Dynamic Workflow Management
    Logic Apps orchestrated the entire enrolment process, from initial contact to form submission. Students were guided through a series of prompts, and their responses were recorded and routed to the appropriate database fields. The branching logic ensured that students saw only the questions relevant to their selected options, creating a smooth, user-friendly flow.

  2. Session Persistence
    One of the standout features was the ability to pause and resume enrolment sessions. If a student dropped off midway, Logic Apps preserved their session data, allowing them to pick up where they left off without starting over. This reduced friction and improved completion rates.

  3. Terms and Conditions Integration
    Logic Apps seamlessly redirected students to a terms and conditions page and required their agreement before proceeding. Compliance steps like this were automated, ensuring consistency and reducing manual oversight.

  4. Form Generation and Notifications
    Once the enrolment process was complete, Logic Apps automatically generated a PDF application form, which was emailed to the prospective student. Simultaneously, the enrolment data was integrated into the client’s administration system, enabling follow-up by the school’s team.

  5. Lightning-Fast Development
    Thanks to Logic Apps’ low-code design and pre-built connectors, Afrolynx delivered a minimum viable product (MVP) in just five days. The rapid turnaround time allowed the client to deploy the solution well ahead of their enrolment drive.

Outcomes and Impact

This Logic Apps-powered solution transformed the client’s enrolment process, making it:

  • Accessible: By leveraging WhatsApp, the solution reached students on a platform they use daily.
  • Efficient: Automated workflows reduced manual intervention, saving time for both students and administrators.
  • Scalable: Logic Apps enabled seamless integration with existing systems, ensuring the solution could handle increased enrolment volumes without performance issues.
  • Cost-Effective: The consumption-based pricing model kept operational costs low while delivering maximum value.

The Logic Apps Advantage
