Automated Client Communication for Massage Studio Using Monday
Sabari M
Client Job Description
About Us
We are a massage studio that has built a custom CRM using Monday.com. We are looking to automate a process in the CRM that is currently done manually.
1. Automated Confirmation
Scenario:
A client receives an email with a proposal for an appointment, and we want them to confirm their attendance by clicking a link in the email. Alternatively, they can indicate that they need modifications or have questions before confirming, or that they are no longer interested.
Workflow:
Trigger: Our team enters information into the Monday board and changes the status to "Propose session." An automation then sends an email with all the appointment details.
Action: The client currently responds manually, but we want them to use one of the provided links in the future, such as the "Confirm Appointment" link or one of the other options.
Special Need: If clients have questions, ask them to reply to the email. This response will be sent to Monday.com CRM in an existing column.
Outcome: The system uses a webhook with the client ID to automate status updates in Monday.com. The client's status will change to "Confirmed," notifying the team of the confirmation, or it will change to "Manual Communication" if they need modifications or have questions. If they are not interested, the status will change to "Not now." All these statuses are already present in the system.
Attention: Each link can only be used once.
2. Automated Cancellation
Scenario:
A client who has already booked an appointment decides to cancel. In our final confirmation email, we provide a link that allows the client to cancel with a single click.
Workflow:
Trigger: When a client wishes to cancel, they click the cancellation link provided in the email.
Outcome: The system processes the cancellation, and the item's status in Monday.com changes to "Cancellation." We will add additional automations in Monday.com CRM after this step (e.g., informing the therapist, confirming the cancellation to the client, canceling the Google Calendar entry, etc.).
