What the integrations actually do
Three pipes keep an academy running: games come in, money comes in, updates go out. Every integration below serves one of them.
Games flow in
Connect a student's Lichess or Chess.com account once, and their real games arrive on their own.
- Nightly sync of new games and ratings
- PGN upload for over-the-board games
- Stockfish analysis queued automatically
Money gets collected
Razorpay and Stripe plug into the same invoice ledger, so collection happens without chasing.
- UPI AutoPay mandates for recurring fees
- No-login payment links sent over WhatsApp
- Receipts and reconciliation, automatic
Updates go out
Approved reports, recaps, and reminders reach families on the channels they already check.
- WhatsApp recaps after coach approval
- Email for invoices and announcements
- Calendar invites with Meet or LiveKit links
