Member Onboarding & Engagement

Q: Can the automation handle different membership tiers with different welcome sequences?

Yes. The automation routes members to different welcome emails, class schedules, and call scheduling based on their membership tier selection at signup.

Q: Will existing member data in our spreadsheet or CRM be affected?

No. The automation only processes new signups going forward.

Q: How does the automation know when to schedule the welcome call?

The automation schedules calls based on your studio's availability calendar and member timezone. It sends calendar invites to both the member and the assigned studio manager automatically.

Q: What if a member signs up in-person at the studio instead of online?

Staff can enter in-person signup details into the same form or spreadsheet, and the automation processes it identically to online signups. No separate workflow is needed.

Turn a new sign-up into an active, retained member without your front desk lifting a finger.
