Communication & Notifications
Which emails and notifications Club Term sends today — and which communication features are still on the roadmap.
Club Term's communication features today are deliberately small and reliable: branded invoice emails to customers, plus the platform emails that keep accounts running (sign-in links and team invitations). Other notification types are on the roadmap rather than silently half-built.
Available Today
Invoice Emails
Club Term sends branded invoice emails to customers at two points in the invoice lifecycle:
- Invoice issued — sent when you email a newly created invoice. The email is HTML-formatted, includes your club's name, the invoice number, the amount due, and your bank details for payment, plus a link to the invoice in the parent portal.
- Invoice paid — a confirmation sent when you mark an invoice as paid.
Invoice emails contain the invoice details and a portal link in the message body — they do not attach a PDF.
Sign-In and Invitation Emails
The platform sends its own transactional emails for account flows:
- Email confirmation and magic-link sign-in emails
- Team invitation emails when you invite coaches or staff to your club account
- Password reset emails
Manual Bank-Transfer Reconciliation
Parents pay invoices by bank transfer (card payments via Stripe Connect are planned but not yet available). Club Term does not read your bank feed — you match the transfer to the invoice number shown on the invoice and mark it paid in Invoices. There is no automatic payment reconciliation.
On the Roadmap (Not Yet Available)
The following communication features are planned but do not exist in the product today:
- Booking confirmations — automatic email to the parent when a booking is created
- Payment reminders — scheduled reminders for unpaid invoices
- Session reminders — automatic reminders before each session
- Cancellation notices — email to registered participants when a session is canceled
- Waitlist notifications — an alert when a place opens in a full session
- Progress reports — coach feedback emailed to parents from a participant profile
- Weather alerts — a one-tap notice to all participants of an outdoor session
- SMS and WhatsApp messaging
- Group messaging — a custom email to all participants in a program or session
If any of these matter to how you run your club, mention it when you contact us — pilot feedback directly shapes what gets built next.
