Class & Session Scheduling

Q: Can instructors still make manual changes to their rosters after automation sends confirmations?

Yes. Instructors can update rosters manually, and the automation will sync those changes back to the calendar and participant communications.

Q: What if a participant is marked as paid in Stripe but the roster shows unpaid?

The automation reconciles payment records from Stripe with the roster in real time. Discrepancies are flagged for review, and the roster is updated to match the payment system of record.

Q: Does the automation handle cancellations and rescheduling?

Yes. When a class is cancelled or rescheduled, the automation updates the calendar, notifies all participants and instructors, and logs the change in the roster for attendance tracking.

Q: Can the automation work with multiple locations or coaching studios?

Yes. The automation scales to manage scheduling, rosters, and communications across multiple locations, instructors, and class types simultaneously.

Keep your coaching calendar full and your clients informed without touching a spreadsheet.
