SmartCookie can send automatic emails to your students: to remind them about a payment, or tell them their session pack is running out or expiring. All reminders come turned off; you choose which ones to turn on.

Before you start

  • Your students need their email saved in SmartCookie. Students without an email don’t get reminders. See Add or import students.
  • For now, reminders are only sent in English. If your students don’t speak it, let them know before you turn them on.

Turn on your reminders

  1. Click your photo or initials, top right, and choose Profile.
  2. In the left menu, click Reminders.
  3. In Payment due soon, open the dropdown and choose how many days before the due date it’s sent.
  4. In Pack almost used up, choose how many sessions left trigger it.
  5. In Pack expiring soon, choose how many days before the pack expires it’s sent.
  6. To turn a reminder off, choose Disabled in its dropdown.
Each change saves on its own; there’s no save button. A reminder that’s on shows its name in black; one that’s off shows it in grey, with Disabled.

Your reminders. The blue numbers are the steps.

These are the options for each reminder:

When they’re sent

  • From 9am in your timezone. You can change it in Profile, under Timezone: Change your name, email, language, time zone or password.
  • Each reminder is sent only once per bill or per pack.
  • Payment due soon is only sent if the bill is still unpaid and has a due date. The email includes the link to pay. If the due date is already that close or closer when you send the bill, it isn’t sent. For example: with 3 days, a bill due in 2 days doesn’t get this reminder.
  • Pack almost used up is only sent once your student has used at least 1 session from the pack.
  • Pack reminders are only sent for packs that haven’t expired and still have sessions left.

What you can’t do

  • You can’t send reminders by WhatsApp or SMS: only by email.
  • You can’t turn them on for some students only. They apply to everyone with an email.
  • You can’t send reminders before a session.
