Use cases / Course Start Reminders

Full classes from the very first session - because nobody misses the start

The situation

The beginners' course starts Monday at 6 p.m. Twelve people signed up, seven showed up. Some had the date wrong, others couldn't remember what to bring, one showed up at the wrong building. In week two you have to explain everything twice, and the group never really gels. And every one of those spots was already paid for.

How SmartChat solves it

SmartChat automatically reminds every participant before the first session: date, time, room, and what to bring - all in one WhatsApp message that reaches practically everyone with a 98 percent open rate. Questions about parking or equipment? Your team answers them all in one place, right in the chat. Your courses start with a full room, and you skip the repeat explanations in week two.

  1. 1

  2. 2
