Automate Member and Staff Communication

3 min read Updated today

Key confirmation messaging templates are assigned and automated here.

Once templates are created and automated, much of your day to day predictable outgoing communications to members and staff will become effortless.

Communication Templates

Full Guide: Creating Communication Templates

This is where your automated communication begins.
Templates are your pre-created, repeatable communication blueprints, which can then be sent automatically by the system when the corresponding event occurs

GymMaster comes with pre-created template and task combinations for common situations.
Browse through Settings > Templates to see whats already available, what can be edited to suit, and what needs to be created from scratch.

Note that all templates can be personalized to match specific member / staff details, adding that personal touch to your communication.
