One message, everybody knows
Training cancelled, club fete, a taster session: SmartChat gets your news to members and parents on WhatsApp - GDPR-compliant, and actually read.
Sound familiar?
Five group chats, no overview
Every team has its own chat, then there are the parent groups and the committee. Important news gets buried between memes and lift-sharing plans, and once again nobody has read it.
Hall locked, training starts at 5 p.m.
Late cancellations are the classic problem: the school locks the hall, the pitch is under water, and half the children turn up anyway and end up standing outside a locked door because the message never reached them.
Taster sessions with nobody new
New members are what keeps a club alive, but flyers go straight in the bin and a notice at the supermarket barely reaches young families at all.
How you use SmartChat
Get training changes to everyone
Hall closed, pitch flooded, coach off sick: one message reaches everyone affected, and no child is left standing outside a locked door again.
Promote your taster sessions
New groups and taster sessions land directly on parents' phones, so the session fills up with real families instead of wishful thinking.
Fill your club events
Summer fete, anniversary, home game weekend: the invitation goes out to every member and every parent, and this time more than the usual handful shows up.
Sell out your camps and courses
You announce holiday camps and new courses with a signup link. Places fill up in the chat, with no scraps of paper piling up in the clubhouse.

FAQs
We run everything on volunteers - how much work is this?
Very little, and that is rather the point. The AI builds your landing page, newsletters and follow-ups from your club website and drafts every announcement for you. Approving one takes less time than pinning up a notice.
How is this different from our WhatsApp groups?
In a group everyone replies to everyone, the important things get buried, and nobody knows who ever agreed to be in there. SmartChat sends to each person individually and documents every consent, so nobody gets dragged into a debate with all the other parents.
How does it work for children and young people?
Signup goes through the parents: they enter their own number and confirm with a double opt-in. That way your news reaches the people who organise the lifts and the kit, safely and directly.
What does SmartChat cost the club?
Plans start at 188 euros per month on the annual plan, with unlimited contacts - from a small club to a big one with a dozen sections. Meta bills the WhatsApp fees directly, with nothing added on top by SmartChat.
How do our members get onto the list?
Through the landing page the AI builds from your website: as a QR code at the clubhouse, in the hall or in the members' newsletter. Everybody signs themselves up and confirms it in WhatsApp.
