Automated Reminders
REMMU sends automatic reminders to members for key events — payments, attendance, and package expiry. These run in the background without any manual action needed.
💳 Payment Reminders
Email Payment Reminders
REMMU can automatically email guardians (or students if no guardian is linked) when they have unpaid invoices. Two scheduling modes work independently or together:
Days after invoice — send a reminder a configurable number of days after the invoice is created (if still unpaid), with an option to repeat every few days until paid.
Fixed days of the month — send reminders on specific calendar dates each month to all members with any outstanding invoices, regardless of when those invoices were created.
- Channel: Email (free, unlimited)
- Configure at: Settings → Notifications → Email Notifications
WhatsApp Payment Reminders
If WhatsApp is enabled, payment reminders are also sent via WhatsApp in addition to email — improving the chance the member sees them.
- Channel: WhatsApp to member or guardian phone
- Schedule: Pick multiple days of the month using the calendar picker in Settings → Notifications
- Quota: Counts toward your monthly WhatsApp message allowance; stops if quota runs out
→ See WhatsApp Notifications to set this up.
Push Notification Payment Reminders
Members with the REMMU mobile app installed also receive a push notification alongside email reminders when they have unpaid invoices. Enabled by default, toggleable in Settings → Notifications → Push Notifications.
📅 Attendance Reminders
Class today push notification
Members with the REMMU app receive a push notification on the morning of each class day reminding them they have a session today.
- Channel: Push notification (mobile app)
- Enable at: Settings → Notifications → Push Notifications → You have class today
Admin reminder for uncompleted sessions
Admins and team members receive an email reminder when a class session is still marked In Progress well after the scheduled end time, so the relevant staff are reminded to complete it.
- Channel: Email
- Recipient: Admins and team members for the affected class
Teaching today reminder (instructors)
Instructors receive a push notification and email shortly before each class they're assigned to teach.
- Channel: Push + email
- Recipient: Assigned instructor(s)
- Enable at: Settings → Notifications → Instructor teaching-today reminder (default off)
- Coverage: Includes ad-hoc, replacement, and rescheduled sessions — the reminder honours the actual session time, not the original schedule
Attendance-marked push (for guardians / members)
When a student is marked Present or Late, a push notification is sent to the student and their guardians — useful for parents who want a real-time confirmation that their child made it to class.
- Channel: Push notification
- Recipient: Student's own account + linked guardians
- Enable at: Settings → Notifications → Attendance marked (default off)
- Spam-guarded — only fires on the transition into Present/Late, not on re-saves of the same status
📦 Package Expiry Reminders
When a student's session package is running low or nearing its expiry date, a reminder is sent prompting them to purchase a new package.
Low Balance Reminder
Sent when a student's remaining sessions drop below a configurable threshold.
- Trigger: Session deducted and balance falls below threshold
- Channel: Email
- Content: Remaining sessions, link to purchase a new package
Expiry Date Reminder
If a package has an expiry date, a reminder is sent a configurable number of days before it expires.
- Channel: Email
- Content: Expiry date, remaining sessions, purchase link
Configuring Package Reminders
Go to Settings → Notifications → Package Reminders to set the low balance threshold, days before expiry, and whether reminders are enabled.
⚙️ Configuring All Reminders
All reminder settings are in one place: Settings → Notifications
From there you can enable or disable each reminder type, adjust timing, and choose channels (email vs WhatsApp).
