What is education workflow automation?

Zenphi automates the full education admin stack natively, without code or IT tickets.

Unlock The Power Of Google Workspace For Education Workflow Automation

Zenphi enables various departments in educational institutions to automate their operations, saving up to 90% of time.

Leveraging the full potential of Google Workspace and automating data exchange between Google apps (Gmail, Sheets, Forms, etc.) and integrating them with other solutions, educational institutions we work with achieve an impressive reduction in operational costs by up to 28%. This effect is achieved by reducing the need for manual intervention, lowering the risk of errors, and cutting labor costs associated with repetitive tasks like document management and financial processing.

Automating legal and financial processes, as well as user management, student onboarding, and Google Workspace administration ensures that educational institutions remain compliant with regulations, minimizing risks and penalties associated with non-compliance.

Replacing Endless Paperwork And Eliminating Errors

Zenphi unifies your Google Workspace for Education experience with no-code automation, which frees staff from manual work and eliminates human-related errors completely.

Google Admin Tasks Automation

Automate standard Google Workspace admin tasks — creation, deletion, updating, archiving and suspension of Google Workspace objects like users, drives, licenses, groups and more. Monitor and act on events like Out of Domain Mail Forwarding, 2FA disabled, or suspicious login. Automate audit trails and logs, and automatically create and share reports with relevant users.

Automated Device Management

Automatically manage school-owned Chromebooks, allowing access to one user only to avoid overspending due to numerous lost and misused devices. Automatically provide access to school resources, red-flag attempts to log in from unauthorized devices, and sign out users from devices when they leave or their role-based permissions change.

Account Payable Automation

Create a custom flow for invoice processing: from three-way matching of invoices, purchase orders, and receipts, to sending invoices for approval. Add a PAID watermark, update records, and automatically email the vendor with confirmation — creating a fully streamlined process from invoice receipt to payout.

Legal Document Management

Zenphi streamlines legal document management by automating data extraction from PDFs, creating custom documents from Google Sheets using generative AI, simplifying the approval process with easy-to-set-up workflows, emailing documents for signatures, and so much more.

Communication Automation

Automate internal notifications for scheduling substitute teachers or sharing class updates. Instantly notify relevant parties (parents, staff) in case of emergencies with predefined workflows that trigger timely messages. Automate reminders for parent-teacher meetings, school events, and extracurricular activities.

Approval Workflow Automation

Automate the entire approval process for field trips, including permission slips, budget approvals, and transportation requests. Automate approvals for any school activity that requires multiple sign-offs, ensuring that no steps are missed and that the process moves smoothly.
