What's New?

In addition to push notifications, you can now send emails directly to clients registered for any class or appointment.

Email can be a less noisy option than push notifications, and allows you to share expanded content, images, and links.

1. Pre-event updates: Share schedule updates, instructor swaps, or location changes.
2. Post-event feedback: Gather reviews and testimonials right after class.
3. Instructor branding: Let your team promote their social links or upcoming sessions.

How To Get Started:
