Resident messaging and calls for property managers and housing societies

For anything important, yes. Group messages get buried under forwards, and you cannot see who read them. Business messages reach each flat individually with read receipts, and residents can reply privately about their own bill or complaint without the whole building seeing it.

Yes. The society or its management company registers on DLT with a header and service templates, such as a dues reminder with the flat number and amount as variables. These concern the resident's own account, so the promotional time window does not apply to them.

Start with a WhatsApp or SMS reminder before the due date, then a polite call after it. Keep the tone neutral, state only the amount and any charge your bye-laws allow, and send disputes to the committee. Avoid naming defaulters in group chats, which causes friction and privacy problems.

Yes. An IVR complaint line lets residents press a key for the type of issue, records the call and sends the details to your facility team or helpdesk software by webhook. Older residents who never install apps find this much easier.

Yes. Managers use the same channels for rent due reminders, lease renewal notices, repair visit slots for tenants and monthly owner statements on WhatsApp. Rental or facility software that can call an API or receive a webhook can trigger these messages automatically.

Use a voice broadcast together with SMS. A recorded call about water contamination, a lift failure or a fire drill goes to every registered number at once, and residents press 1 to acknowledge, so security knows which flats still need a knock on the door.
