Automated reminders

Clients complete onboarding without you chasing them

Item-specific reminders name exactly what is missing. They stop automatically when items are completed. Your dashboard shows who needs attention so you never have to check manually.

What happens when you chase clients manually

Follow-up takes hours every week

You check each client's progress, draft individual follow-up emails, and track who responded. For 10 active onboardings, that is 2 to 3 hours of admin work per week.

Generic reminders get ignored

A message saying 'please complete your onboarding' does not tell the client what to do. They open the form, do not know what is missing, and close it again.

You do not know who is stuck until you check

Without a dashboard, you rely on memory or spreadsheets to track who completed what. Clients fall through the cracks and onboarding stalls for weeks.

Reminders keep going after the client finishes

If reminders are not tied to completion status, clients receive follow-ups for items they already submitted. It feels careless and damages the relationship.

How it works

1

Set reminder schedules per template

Choose when reminders start and how often they repeat. Set different intervals for different urgency levels: every 2 days for time-sensitive items, weekly for everything else.

2

Reminders name specific outstanding items

Instead of 'please complete your onboarding,' clients receive 'You still need to upload your business license and sign the service agreement.' Specific and actionable.

3

Reminders stop when items are completed

Each reminder is tied to item completion status. When the client uploads their business license, they stop receiving reminders about it immediately.

Dashboard shows who needs attention

See all active onboardings in one view. Filter by status, overdue items, and last activity. Know exactly who to follow up with and what they are missing.

Feature details

  • Configurable reminder intervals

    Set reminders to send every 1, 2, 3, 5, or 7 days. Choose different intervals for different templates based on urgency and client expectations.

  • Item-level granularity

    Reminders reference specific items by name. A client who uploaded 3 of 5 documents only gets reminded about the 2 they missed, not the entire onboarding.

  • Branded reminder emails

    Reminders use your branding: your logo, your colors, your sender name. Clients see a message from you, not from a third-party tool.

  • Quiet hours and timezone awareness

    Reminders respect the client's timezone. No emails at 3 AM. Set quiet hours to keep reminders within business hours.

  • Activity feed with reminder history

    See every reminder that was sent, when it was sent, and whether the client opened it. Understand engagement patterns and adjust intervals accordingly.
