Customisable Notifications and Reminders the Group Sets for Itself
Customisable notifications and reminders are part of SHG Management System. Payment and meeting alerts go out by SMS, email or an in-app notice, and your group decides how many days ahead each one is sent. A reminder two days before the meeting does some good. One sent the same morning does not.
What is worth a message
Two things are. The rest is noise, and noise gets ignored.
Savings due
A note before the contribution date, so nobody turns up at the meeting without having kept the money aside.
Loan instalment due
A member with a repayment coming hears about it before it goes late.
Meeting alert
Date, time and place, sent to everyone the group holds a number or an email for.
The group chooses the rhythm
No two groups keep the same one.
Days ahead
Set the lead time once. Every reminder after that follows it.
Channel by person
SMS for members with basic phones, email for the coordinator, in-app notice for anyone who signs in.
Switched off when unwanted
A group meeting on the same weekday every week may want only the dues reminder and nothing else.
What changes for the treasurer
Chasing people is most of her unpaid work.
Fewer calls on the day
The reminder has already done what a round of phone calls used to do the previous evening.
Late payers spotted sooner
Someone who ignores two reminders is a conversation to have early rather than at the year end.
Nothing typed by hand
Messages are drawn from the same records the meeting is run on.
Frequently asked questions
Can reminders be sent on WhatsApp?
Not in this product, which sends by SMS, email and in-app notice. Adding a channel is separate work, and GullySystem would tell you what it involves before you agree to it.
Who decides how many days before a reminder goes out?
The group does, and the setting is made once. Two or three days before the due date is what most groups settle on.
Do meeting reminders reach every member?
They reach everyone whose number or email is on the member record. A member with no phone still has to be told the old way, and that is worth planning for.
