Two notifications in Notifications control deal with forms, and both can hold several messages:
  • Form sent to trainee is the push that goes out the moment a form reaches the trainee.
  • Form reminders are extra pushes at times you choose, before or after that day.
Open Business settings, then Notifications control, and look in the Forms category.

Form sent to trainee

This notification holds one message for each form type. That lets a check-in say something different from an intake form.

Which message is sent

Each message targets one of three form types: All forms, Intake or Check-in.
  1. When a form is sent, Perform looks for an active message for that form’s type.
  2. If there is none, it sends the All forms message.
  3. If there is no active All forms message either, no push is sent for that form.
Keep an active All forms message as a safety net. It covers one-time forms and any type you did not write a specific message for.

Form reminders

Reminders are listed in sending order, relative to the day the form is sent. A marker in the timeline shows where the “form sent” moment sits.

Reminders before the send day

A “before” reminder tells the trainee a form is coming, for example “your update day is tomorrow, prepare your photos and morning weight”.
  • Timing before the send day is only available for check-ins. They are sent on a schedule, so Perform knows the day in advance. Intake and one-time forms are sent when you assign them, so there is no “day before”.
  • Before the send day the form is not open yet. The reminder therefore goes to everyone, and the “only if not filled” option does not apply.
  • These reminders open the home screen.

Reminders on or after the send day

  • They are tied to the form that was actually sent to the trainee.
  • A reminder on the send day whose time is earlier than the moment the form was sent is skipped.
  • With Send only if the form has not been filled yet ticked, trainees who already filled the form are left alone.

Rules

  • Up to 10 reminders.
  • Two reminders cannot share the same form type, day and time. The editor flags the duplicate.
  • One reminder has to stay. To stop reminders completely, turn the whole notification off.
  • Each reminder has its own switch.
  • A deleted reminder can be brought back until you save.

Timing details

  • Days and times follow the trainee’s own time zone. If the app has not reported one, the studio’s time zone is used.
  • Reminders are checked frequently through the day, so a reminder goes out shortly after the time you set, not at the exact second.
  • Each reminder is sent once for a given form and trainee. A trainee never gets the same reminder twice.

The preview

The phone preview shows each message with sample data. For the form notifications, a small filter lets you switch the form type shown in the preview. Reminders are numbered in sending order.

Trainees can mute these

In the app, trainees can switch off Check-in reminders and New forms separately. A check-in message or reminder follows the first switch. Messages for other forms follow the second.

Example: a weekly check-in
